Bilangan 21:21-25
Konteks21:21 1 Then Israel sent messengers to King Sihon of the Amorites, saying, 2
21:22 “Let us 3 pass through your land; 4 we will not turn aside into the fields or into the vineyards, nor will we drink water from any well, but we will go along the King’s Highway until we pass your borders.” 21:23 But Sihon did not permit Israel to pass through his border; he 5 gathered all his forces 6 together and went out against Israel into the wilderness. When 7 he came to Jahaz, he fought against Israel. 21:24 But the Israelites 8 defeated him in battle 9 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. 10
Yosua 24:8-11
Konteks24:8 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 11 their land and I destroyed them from before you. 24:9 Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, launched an attack 12 against Israel. He summoned 13 Balaam son of Beor to call down judgment 14 on you. 24:10 I refused to respond to Balaam; he kept 15 prophesying good things about 16 you, and I rescued you from his power. 17 24:11 You crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. 18 The leaders 19 of Jericho, as well as the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, and Jebusites, fought with you, but I handed them over to you.
Mazmur 44:3
Konteks44:3 For they did not conquer 20 the land by their swords,
and they did not prevail by their strength, 21
but rather by your power, 22 strength 23 and good favor, 24
for you were partial to 25 them.
