“Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:”
Therefore the bards say, 'Come to Heshbon, let it be built; let the city of Sihon be established' — the text cites a song (or taunting poem) about Heshbon's construction or reconstruction. The 'bards' (mos'lim) are those who speak in proverbs or taunts; the poem may celebrate or mock the city's founding. The poetic citation preserves ancient tradition about Heshbon.
