[13:16] Their territory extended to Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley) and the city in the middle of that valley and included all the plateau around Medeba.
[13:17] It included Heshbon and all the cities on the plateau: Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baalmeon,
[13:18] Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
[13:19] Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley,
[13:20] Bethpeor, the slopes of Mount Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth.
[13:21] It included all the cities of the plateau and the whole kingdom of the Amorite king Sihon, who had ruled at Heshbon. Moses defeated him, as well as the rulers of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. All of them had ruled the land for King Sihon.
[13:22] Among those whom the people of Israel killed was the fortune teller Balaam son of Beor.
