1. Begin to conquer (2:26-37)

When the Israelites met Sihon king of Heshbon, they offered to pass through his land, paying for everything, just as they had done with the Edomites, Moabites and Ammonites. But the Lord hardened Sihon. This was the Lord's first step in delivering all the nations in the area into the hands of the Israelites. There is no enemy stronger than the Lord. When he is with us, he will deliver all things into our hands. For the people of Israel, this was the time for them to begin to live as conquerors-those who trust the Lord's deliverance and obey his word.

2. Do to him what you did to Sihon (3:1-11)

The next king they met was Og king of Bashan. The Lord commanded the Israelites to do to Og what they had done to Sihon. There were 60 cities, many with walls, but the people of Israel completely destroyed them. When they lived with complete obedience, they experienced complete victory.
