Sihon's former kingdom allocated — And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the boundary of the children of Ammon. The conquered cities of Sihon's kingdom—from Heshbon to the Ammonite border—are allocated to Reuben and Gad. The integration of conquered Canaanite territory into Israel's tribal possession is the model for all subsequent allocations.
