30 Kodwa uSihoni inkosi yaseHeshibhoni kazange asivumele ukuthi sidlule ngenxa yokuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu wavumela ukuthi abe lenkani+ njalo omise inhliziyo yakhe, ukuze amnikele esandleni sethu* njengoba nje kunjalo khathesi.+

31 “UJehova wasesithi kimi, ‘Sengihle ngaqalisa ukunikela uSihoni lelizwe lakhe kini. Qalisani ukuthatha ilizwe lakhe.’+ 32 USihoni wathi ephuma labo bonke abantu bakhe ukuze azokulwa lathi eJahazi,+ 33 uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wamnikela kithi samnqoba yena lamadodana akhe labo bonke abantu ayelabo. 34 Ngalesosikhathi sathumba wonke amadolobho akhe sawatshabalalisa, satshabalalisa amadoda labesifazana labantwana. Asitshiyanga ngitsho loyedwa.+ 35 Sathatha izifuyo zabo kuphela kanye lempahla esayithola emadolobheni esasiwathumbile.

7 Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi lafika endaweni le njalo uSihoni inkosi yeHeshibhoni+ lo-Ogi inkosi yeBhashani+ baphuma bazosihlasela kodwa sabanqoba.+

19 “‘Ngemva kwalokho abako-Israyeli bathuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori eyayibusa eHeshibhoni, bathi kuye: “Sicela ukudlula elizweni lakho sisiya endaweni yethu.”+ 20 Kodwa uSihoni wala ukuthi abako-Israyeli badlule elizweni lakhe ngenxa yokuthi wayengabathembi. Wabiza bonke abantu bakhe babuthana eJahazi balwa labako-Israyeli.+
