The Kings Defeated by the Israelites
1 Before Moses died, he and the people of Israel had defeated two kings east of the Jordan River. These kings had ruled the region from the Arnon River gorge in the south to Mount Hermon in the north, including the eastern side of the Jordan River valley.
2 The first king that Moses and the Israelites defeated was an Amorite, King Sihon of Heshbon. The southern border of his kingdom ran down the middle of the Arnon River gorge, taking in the town of Aroer on the northern edge of the gorge. The Jabbok River separated Sihon's kingdom from the Ammonites on the east. Then the Jabbok turned west and became his northern border, so his kingdom included the southern half of the region of Gilead. 3 Sihon also controlled the eastern side of the Jordan River valley from Lake Galilee south to Beth-Jeshimoth and the Dead Sea. In addition to these regions, he ruled the town called Slopes of Mount Pisgah and the land south of there at the foot of the hill.
4 Next, Moses and the Israelites defeated King Og of Bashan, who lived in the town of Ashtaroth part of each year and in Edrei the rest of the year. Og was one of the last of the Rephaim. 5 His kingdom stretched north to Mount Hermon, east to the town of Salecah, and included the land of Bashan as far west as the borders of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah. He also ruled the northern half of Gilead.
6 Moses, the Lord's servant, had led the people of Israel in defeating Sihon and Og. Then Moses gave their land to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh.
7-8 Later, Joshua and the Israelites defeated many kings west of the Jordan River, from Baal-Gad in Lebanon Valley in the north to Mount Halak near the country of Edom in the south. This region included the hill country and the foothills, the Jordan River valley and its western slopes, and the Southern Desert. Joshua and the Israelites took this land from the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Joshua divided up the land among the tribes of Israel.
The Israelites defeated the kings of the following towns west of the Jordan River:
9-24 Jericho, Ai near Bethel, Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, Eglon, Gezer, Debir, Geder, Hormah, Arad, Libnah, Adullam, Makkedah, Bethel, Tappuah, Hepher, Aphek, Lasharon, Madon, Hazor, Shimron-Meron, Achshaph, Taanach, Megiddo, Kedesh, Jokneam on Mount Carmel, Dor in Naphath-Dor, Goiim in Galilee, and Tirzah.
There were 31 of these kings in all.
1 Šie nu ir tās zemes ķēniņi, kupus Israēla bērni uzvarēja un kupu zemes viņi ieguva, pārcēlušies pāri Jardānai, no Amonas upes līdz Hermona kalnam ar visu klajumu uz austrumu pusi no Jardānas:
2 Sichons, amoriešu ķēniņš, kas dzīvoja Hešbonā un valdīja kā ķēniņš pār apgabalu no Aroēras pie Amonas upes krastmalā, no upes ielejas vidus sākot, un pār pusi Gileādas līdz Jabokas upei, kas ir robežas upe ar amoniešiem,
3 Un pār līdzenumu līdz Hinnerotas ezera austrumu krastiem un Bet-Ješimotas virzienā līdz Tuksneša jūpai, tas ir Sāls jūpai, un dienvidos līdz Pizgas kalna kraujām nogāzēm.
4 Otrs bija Ogs, Basanas ķēniņš, kas bija atlicies no refajiešiem un valdīja Aštorotā un Edrejā.
5 Viņš valdīja kā ķēniņš pār Hermona kalnāju, pār tā apkārtni, un Salku, un pār visu Basanu līdz gešūriešu robežām un Maāchatas apgabalam, un pār pusi no Gileādas robežās ar Sichonu, Hešbonas ķēniņu.
6 Mozus, tā Kunga kalps, un Israēla bērni tos sakāva, un jau Mozus, tā Kunga kalps, deva šos apgabalus Rūbena, Gada un pusei no Manases cilts īpašumā.
7 Šie nu ir tās zemes ķēniņi, kupus Jozua ar Israēla bērniem uzvarēja, pārcēlušies pāri Jardānai, rietumos no Baāl-Gadas un no Libanona kalnu ielejas līdz Halaka kalnam , kas paceļas pretī Seīram, un Jozua nodeva šo apgabalu Israēla īpašumā pēc viņa sadalījuma pa ciltīm, katrai ciltij savu daļu.
8 Bet kalnos un ielejās, klajumos un pakalnos, kā arī tuksnesī un dienvidus zemē mita hetieši, amorieši, kānaānieši, fensieši, hīvieši un jebusieši.
