16 And to the Reuʹben·ites and the Gadʹites,+ I have given from Gilʹe·ad to the Arʹnon Valley,* with the middle of the valley as a boundary, and as far as Jabʹbok, the valley that is the boundary of the Amʹmon·ites,

2 King Siʹhon+ of the Amʹor·ites, who lived in Heshʹbon and ruled from A·roʹer,+ which was on the rim of the Arʹnon Valley,*+ and from the middle of the valley, and half of Gilʹe·ad as far as the Valley* of Jabʹbok, the boundary of the Amʹmon·ites.

13 So the king of the Amʹmon·ites said to the messengers of Jephʹthah: “It is because Israel took my land when they came up out of Egypt,+ from the Arʹnon+ to the Jabʹbok and as far as the Jordan.+ Now return it peaceably.”
