Bilangan 21:23-25

21:23 But Sihon did not permit Israel to pass through his border; he ¹  gathered all his forces ²  together and went out against Israel into the wilderness. When ³  he came to Jahaz, he fought against Israel. 21:24 But the Israelites ⁴  defeated him in battle ⁵  and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strongly defended. 21:25 So Israel took all these cities; and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages. ⁶ 

Yosua 24:8-11

24:8 Then I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived east of the Jordan. They fought with you, but I handed them over to you; you conquered ⁷  their land and I destroyed them from before you. 24:9 Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, launched an attack ⁸  against Israel. He summoned ⁹  Balaam son of Beor to call down judgment ¹⁰  on you. 24:10 I refused to respond to Balaam; he kept ¹¹  prophesying good things about ¹²  you, and I rescued you from his power. ¹³  24:11 You crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. ¹⁴  The leaders ¹⁵  of Jericho, as well as the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, and Jebusites, fought with you, but I handed them over to you.
