- Heshbon:
- "And Israelª tookª°¹ all¹ these¹ cities:ª and Israelª dweltª° in all¹ the citiesª of the Amorites,ª in Heshbon,ª and in all¹ the villagesª thereof. ... For¹ Heshbonª [was] the cityª of Sihonª the kingª of the Amorites,ª who¹ had foughtª° against the formerª kingª of Moab,ª and takenª°¹ all¹ his landª out of his hand,ª¹ even unto¹ Arnon.ª" {Num 21:25-26} + "For¹ there is a fireª gone outª° of Heshbon,ª¹ a flameª from the cityª¹ of Sihon:ª it hath consumedª° Arª of Moab,ª [and] the lords¹ of the high places²¹ of Arnon.ª" {Num 21:28} + "While Israelª dweltª° in Heshbonª and her towns,ª and in Aroerª and her towns,ª and in all¹ the citiesª that¹ [be] along by¹ the coastsª of Arnon,ª threeª hundredª years?ª why¹ therefore did ye not¹ recoverª° [them] within that¹ time?ª" {Jdg 11:26} + "Moreover thou gavestª° them kingdomsª and nations,ª and didst divideª° them into corners:ª so they possessedª°¹ the landª of Sihon,ª and the landª of the kingª of Heshbon,ª and the landª of Ogª kingª of Bashan.ª" {Neh 9:22} + "And Heshbonª shall cry,ª° and Elealeh:ª their voiceª shall be heardª° [even] unto¹ Jahaz:ª therefore¹¹ the armed soldiersª° of Moabª shall cry out;ª° his lifeª shall be grievousª° unto him." {Isa 15:4} + "For¹ the fieldsª of Heshbonª languish,ª° [and] the vineª of Sibmah:ª the lordsª of the heathenª have broken downª° the principal plantsª thereof, they are comeª° [even] unto¹ Jazer,ª they wanderedª° [through] the wilderness:ª her branchesª are stretched out,ª° they are gone overª° the sea.ª ... Therefore¹¹ I will bewailª° with the weepingª of Jazerª the vineª of Sibmah:ª I will waterª° thee with my tears,ª O Heshbon,ª and Elealeh:ª for¹ the shoutingª for¹ thy summer fruitsª and for¹ thy harvestª is fallen.ª°" {Isa 16:8-9} + "[There shall be] no¹ more¹ praiseª of Moab:ª in Heshbonª they have devisedª° evilª against¹ it; come,²°¹ and let us cut it offª° from [being] a nation.ª¹ Also¹ thou shalt be cut down,ª° O Madmen;ª the swordª shall pursue²°¹¹ thee.²" {Jer 48:2} + "From the cryª¹ of Heshbonª [even] unto¹ Elealeh,ª [and even] unto¹ Jahaz,ª have they utteredª° their voice,ª from Zoarª¹ [even] unto¹ Horonaim,ª [as] an heiferª of three years old:ª for¹ the watersª also¹ of Nimrimª shall be¹ desolate.ª" {Jer 48:34} + "They that fledª° stoodª° under the shadowª of Heshbonª because of the force:ª¹ but¹ a fireª shall come forthª° out of Heshbon,ª¹ and a flameª from the midstª¹ of Sihon,ª and shall devourª° the cornerª of Moab,ª and the crown of the headª of the tumultuousª ones.ª" {Jer 48:45}
