These are the kings in those places who were-defeated by the Israelinhon:
Sihon the Amornon who was-living in Heshbon. The jurisdiction of his kingdom (was) half of Gilead. This (was) from Aroer beside the Arnon channel/water-course of water, and from this half up-to the River of Jabok, the border of the Ammonhon.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “The Israelis took control of the land that was east of the Jordan River, from the Arnon River gorge in the south to Hermon Mountain in the north, including all the land on the eastern side of the Jordan River Valley. That land previously belonged to the two kings whose armies the Israelis defeated.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
