“And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.”
And the LORD said to me, 'Fear him not; for I have delivered him, and all his people, and his land, into your hand; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon' -- the command echoes the Sihon narrative structure: do not fear, the LORD has delivered the enemy, replicate the previous victory pattern. The parallelism shows that both campaigns follow the same divine script.
