Moab

And the elder bore a son, and she called his name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites unto this day.

And after his death, Adad, the son of Badad, reigned in his stead, who defeated the Madianites in the country of Boab; and the name of his city was Avith.

Then were the princes of Edom troubled, trembling seized on the stout men of Moab: all the inhabitants of Chanaan became stiff.

And departing thence they pitched their tents in Jeabarim, in the wilderness, that faceth Moab toward the east.

Which they left and encamped over against Arnon, which is in the desert and standeth out on the borders of the Amorrhite. For Arnon is the border of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorrhites.

The rocks of the torrents were bowed down that they might rest in Ar, and lie down in the borders of the Moabites.

From Bamoth, is a valley in the country of Moab, to the top of Phasga, which looked towards the desert.

Hesebon was the city of Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, who fought against the king of Moab: and took all the land, that had been of his dominion, as far as the Arnon.

A fire is gone out of Hesebon, a flame from the city of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the high places of the Arnon.

Woe to thee Moab: thou art undone, O people of Chamos. He hath given his sons to flight, and his daughters into captivity to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites.
