His kingdom was located east of the Jordan River, encompassing the region from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River, which included the city of Heshbon as his capital. Sihon's reign and subsequent defeat by the Israelites are pivotal events in the narrative of Israel's journey to the Promised Land. Biblical Account: The primary account of Sihon is found in the Book of Numbers and the Book of Deuteronomy. In <a href="/numbers/21-21.htm">Numbers 21:21-24</a> , the Israelites, under Moses' leadership, sent messengers to Sihon with a peaceful request to pass through his land: "Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 'Let us pass through your land. We will not turn aside into any field or vineyard, nor drink the water from any well. We will travel the King's Highway until we have passed through your territory.'" However, Sihon refused to allow Israel passage and instead mobilized his army to confront them in the wilderness. The confrontation resulted in a decisive victory for the Israelites. <a href="/numbers/21-24.htm">Numbers 21:24</a> states, "And Israel put him to the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, but only as far as the Ammonites, because their border was fortified." This victory was significant as it marked the beginning of Israel's conquest of the Transjordan region. Theological Significance: Sihon's defeat is often interpreted as a demonstration of God's faithfulness and power in fulfilling His promises to the Israelites. <a href="/deuteronomy/2-30.htm">Deuteronomy 2:30-31</a> highlights the divine orchestration behind these events: "But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the LORD your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as is the case this day." The victory over Sihon and the subsequent possession of his land served as a tangible sign of God's providence and the unfolding of His covenantal promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It also set a precedent for the Israelites' future conquests in Canaan, reinforcing the theme of divine intervention and guidance. Historical and Cultural Context: Sihon's kingdom was strategically located along the King's Highway, a major trade route in the ancient Near East. This made his territory both economically and militarily significant. The Amorites, of whom Sihon was a king, were a prominent people group in the region, often depicted in the Bible as formidable adversaries of Israel. The defeat of Sihon and the Amorites not only expanded Israel's territory but also served to intimidate other neighboring nations, as evidenced by the reaction of Balak, king of Moab, who sought Balaam's help to curse Israel (Numbers 22). Legacy: Sihon's defeat is frequently referenced in later biblical texts as a testament to God's might and faithfulness. Psalms 135:10-12 and Psalms 136:17-22 both recount the victory over Sihon as part of Israel's history of divine deliverance. These references serve to remind the Israelites of God's past acts of salvation and to encourage trust in His continued guidance and protection. In summary, Sihon stands as a symbol of opposition to God's people and the subsequent triumph of divine will over human resistance. His account underscores the themes of God's sovereignty, the fulfillment of His promises, and the establishment of Israel in the land He had set apart for them.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div>Sihonrooting out; conclusion<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Sihon(warrior) king of the Amorites when Israel arrived on the borders of the promised land.

The Israelites went forth against him to battle, and gained a complete victory. The Amorites were defeated; Sihon, his sons, and all his people were smitten with the sword, his walled towns were captured, and the entire country of the Amorites was taken possession of by the Israelites (<a href="/numbers/21-21.htm">Numbers 21:21</a>-30; <a href="/deuteronomy/2-24.htm">Deuteronomy 2:24</a>-37).The country from the Jabbok to Hermon was at this time ruled by Og, the last of the Rephaim.
