1 Now these are the kings of the land whom the Israelites struck down and whose lands they took beyond the Jordan to the east, from the Arnon Valley to Mount Hermon, including all the Arabah eastward:

2 Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon. He ruled from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along the middle of the valley, up to the Jabbok River (the border of the Ammonites), that is, half of Gilead,

3 as well as the Arabah east of the Sea of Chinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea), eastward through Beth-jeshimoth, and southward below the slopes of Pisgah.

4 And Og king of Bashan, one of the remnant of the Rephaim, who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei.

5 He ruled over Mount Hermon, Salecah, all of Bashan up to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and half of Gilead to the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.

6 Moses, the servant of the LORD, and the Israelites had struck them down and given their land as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

7 And these are the kings of the land that Joshua and the Israelites conquered beyond the Jordan to the west, from Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir (according to the allotments to the tribes of Israel, Joshua gave them as an inheritance

8 the hill country, the foothills, the Arabah, the slopes, the wilderness, and the Negev—the lands of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites):

9 the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is near Bethel, one;

10 the king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;

11 the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;

12 the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;

13 the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;

14 the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;

15 the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;

16 the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;

17 the king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;

18 the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one;

19 the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;

20 the king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;

21 the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;

22 the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one;

23 the king of Dor in Naphath-dor, one; the king of Goiim in Gilgal, one;

24 and the king of Tirzah, one. So there were thirty-one kings in all.

KJV

1 ¶ Now these [are] the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:

2 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, [and] ruled from Aroer, which [is] upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, [which is] the border of the children of Ammon;

8 In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:

Defeated Kings.

1 These are the kings of the land, which smote the children of Israel, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the sunrising, from the waters of Arnon even unto mount Hermon, and all the plain toward the east:

2 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and reigned from Aroer, which is on the bank of the river by Arnon, and in the midst of the river, and over half Gilead unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon,

3 And over the plain unto the sea of Cinneroth eastward, and unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea eastward, by the way of Beth-jesimoth, and from southward by the streams of mount Pisgah.

4 And the border of Og king of Bashan, which was left of the giants, dwelling in Ashtaroth and Edrei.

5 And he reigned over mount Hermon, and over Salcah, and over all Bashan, unto the border of Geshuri, and Maachathi, and half Gilead, which was the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.

6 And Moses the servant of the LORD, and the children of Israel, smote them. And Moses the servant of the LORD gave them to be taken by the Reubenites, and by the Gadites, and by the half tribe of Manasseh.

7 These are the kings of the land, which Joshua smote, and the children of Israel on this side Jordan toward the even, from Baalgad, even unto the breadth of mount Lebanon, unto the mountain that divideth the land up to Seir; which Joshua gave to the tribes of Israel to possess, every man his part,

8 And the mountains, and the valleys, and the valleys, and the rivers, and the wilderness, and the south country: the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

9 The king of Jericho, the king of Ai, which is on the side of Bethel,

10 The king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron,

11 The king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish,

12 The king of Eglon, the king of Gezer,

13 The king of Debir, the king of Geder,

14 The king of Horma, the king of Arad,

15 The king of Libnah, the king of Adullam,

16 The king of Makkedah, the king of Bethel,

17 The king to Tapuah, the king to Hepher,

18 The king of Aphek, the king of Lasaron,

19 The king of Madon, the king of Hazor,

20 The king of Simron-meron, the king of Achsaph,

21 The king of Thaenach, the king of Megiddo,

22 The king of Kedesh, the king of Jacneam of Carmel,

23 The king of Naphtoth-dor, the king of the Gentiles in Gilgal,

24 The king of Thirzah. That is thirty and one kings.
