1Her følger en liste over de konger, som israelitterne besejrede, og hvis landområder de indtog øst for Jordanfloden fra Arnonfloden i syd til Hermonbjerget mod nord, inklusive den østlige del af dalsænkningen, som Jordanfloden løber igennem.2Først var der amoritterkongen Sihon, der boede i Heshbon. Hans rige omfattede højlandet fra Aroer i syd, midt på bjergkammen nord for Arnondalen, og til Jabbokfloden, der danner grænse til ammonitternes område. Heri er medregnet den sydlige halvdel af Gilead.3Til Sihons rige hørte også den østlige del af Jordandalen fra Kinneret søen i nord ned til Det Døde Hav, hvor byen Bet-Jeshimot ligger, og længere mod syd skråningerne fra Pisgas bjergryg ned mod havet.4Dernæst var der kong Og af Bashan, en af de sidste refaitter, som regerede fra Ashtarot og Edrei.5Hans rige strakte sig fra Hermonbjerget i nord til Salka i øst og omfattede de områder, der hed Geshur og Ma’aka, foruden hele Bashan provinsen og den nordlige halvdel af Gilead.6Allerede under Moses underlagde israelitterne sig kong Sihons og kong Ogs områder øst for Jordanfloden, og Moses fordelte landet mellem Rubens stamme, Gads stamme og Manasses halve stamme.
