Nehemiah 9:22 meaning and explanation
You gave them kingdoms and peoples and allotted to them every corner of the land. So they took the land of Sihon king of Heshbon and of Og king of Bashan.
Nehemiah 9:22, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
These words come from a long prayer the Levites lead on behalf of the returned exiles, recounting God's faithfulness from creation through the wilderness and the conquest. Here the prayer recalls how God gave Israel victory over Sihon, king of Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan whose territory became Israel's first possession (Numbers 21; Deuteronomy 2 to 3).
