Israel took all these towns, and Israel settled in all the towns of the Amorites, in Heshbon and all its dependencies — Heshbon, the major Amorite city, becomes Israel's capital in Transjordan. The conquest includes all towns and their surrounding villages; Israel settles immediately in the conquered territory. The swift occupation suggests that Sihon's defeat has broken Amorite resistance.
