I sent the hornet ahead of you, and it drove out the two Amorite kings before you, but not by your own sword or bow.
Joshua 24:12, Berean Standard Bible

The hornet, Hebrew tsirah, is a stinging insect; the image suggests a troubling force sent ahead of Israel, and the two Amorite kings likely point to Sihon and Og, defeated east of the Jordan.
