Numbers 21:27 introduces a quotation the narrator calls the saying of the poets, a taunt song that ancient Israelite singers used about Heshbon, the Amorite capital of King Sihon. In the story, Israel has just defeated Sihon and taken his cities, and this verse opens a victory song that celebrates Heshbon's fall and Moab's ruin at the hands of the Amorites.
