1 The king of Arad [city] lived in the area where the Canaan people-group lived, in the desert in the southern part of the land. He heard a report that the Israelis were approaching on the road to Atharim [village]. So his army attacked the Israelis and captured some of them.

22 “Allow us to travel through your country. We will stay on the king’s highway, [the main road that goes from the south to the north], until we have finished traveling through your land. We will not walk through any field or vineyard, or drink water from your wells.”

24 But the Israelis completely defeated them and occupied their land, from the Arnon [River in the south] to the Jabbok [River in the north]. They stopped at the border of the land where the Ammon people-group lived, because [the Ammon army was defending] the border strongly.
and to smite him Israel to/for lip: edge sword and to possess: take [obj] land: country/planet his from Arnon till Jabbok till son: descendant/people Ammon for strong border: boundary son: descendant/people Ammon

and to take: take Israel [obj] all [the] city [the] these and to dwell Israel in/on/with all city [the] Amorite in/on/with Heshbon and in/on/with all daughter: village her
26 Heshbon was the capital of the country. It was the city where King Sihon ruled. His army had previously defeated the army of the king of Moab, and then his people had begun to live in all of the land of Moab as far as the Arnon [River in the south].

30 But we have defeated [Sihon and] those descendants of Amor, all the way from Heshbon [in the north] to Dibon [city in the south]. We have completely obliterated/destroyed them as far as Nophah and Medeba [towns].”

31 So the Israeli people began to live in the land where the Amor people-group lived.

34 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Do not be afraid of Og, because I am going to enable your men to defeat him and his army, and to take possession of all his land. You will do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon.”
and to say LORD to(wards) Moses not to fear [obj] him for in/on/with hand: power your to give: give [obj] him and [obj] all people his and [obj] land: country/planet his and to make: do to/for him like/as as which to make: do to/for Sihon king [the] Amorite which to dwell in/on/with Heshbon
