Joshua 12

The AIT Bible

Kings Defeated by Moses

1Now these are the kings of the land whom the sons of Israel struck down, and they took possession of their land beyond the Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the Wadi Arnon as far as Mount Hermon, with all the Arabah eastward:

2Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, ruling from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Wadi Arnon, and the middle of the wadi, and half of Gilead, as far as the Wadi Jabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon;

3and the Arabah as far as the Sea of Chinneroth on the east, and as far as the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) on the east, by way of Beth-jeshimoth, and southward beneath the slopes of Pisgah.

4And the territory of Og king of Bashan, one of the remnant of the Rephaim, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,

5and ruled over Mount Hermon and Salecah and all Bashan, as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and half of Gilead, up to the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.

6Moses the servant of Yahweh and the sons of Israel struck them down; and Moses the servant of Yahweh gave it as a possession to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
