Joshua 12:1-2

12:1 Now these are the kings of the land whom the Israelites defeated and drove from their land ¹  on the east side of the Jordan, ²  from the Arnon Valley to Mount Hermon, including all the eastern Arabah:

12:2 King Sihon of the Amorites who lived ³  in Heshbon and ruled from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley) – including the city in the middle of the valley ⁴  and half of Gilead – all the way to the Jabbok Valley bordering Ammonite territory.

[12:1]  ¹ tn Heb “and took possession of their land.”

[12:1]  ² tn Heb “beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.”

[12:2]  ³ tn Or perhaps, “reigned.”

[12:2]  ⁴ tc The MT reads here, “and the middle of the valley,” but the reading “the city in the middle of valley” can be reconstructed on the basis of Josh 13:9, 16.
