Who is Sihon?
Sihon was the king of the Amorites who ruled from Heshbon, east of the Jordan. He refused to let Israel pass through his land and marched out against them, and Israel defeated him and took his territory (Numbers 21:21, Numbers 21:23, Numbers 21:26). His defeat is recalled throughout Scripture as a landmark of God's deliverance (Deuteronomy 2:24, Psalms 136:19).
