SIHON
King of the Amorites. After his victory over the Moabites he was defeated and killed by the Israelites, and his army annihilated.
His territory was east of the Jordan, from the Arnon to the Jabbok, and the Israelites took possession of it. The victory is commemorated in two psalms (Num. 21:21-35; 32:33; Deut. 1:4; 2:24-36; 3:2-6; Josh. 12:2; Judges 11:19- 22; Ps. 135:11; 135:19; Jer. 48:45).
The tribes of Reuben and Gad later divided these lands as their inheritance (Num. 32:1-4, 33-38).
