Micah 4:12-13
But they do not know the LORD’s intentions or understand his plan, that he has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.Rise and thresh, Daughter Zion, for I will make your horns iron and your hooves bronze so you can crush many peoples. Then you will set apart their plunder for the LORD, their wealth for the Lord of the whole earth.

Psalms 44:1-3
God, we have heard with our ears— our ancestors have told us— the work you accomplished in their days, in days long ago:In order to plant them, you displaced the nations by your hand; in order to settle them, you brought disaster on the peoples.For they did not take the land by their sword— their arm did not bring them victory— but by your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable toward them.

Numbers 21:23-35
But Sihon would not let Israel travel through his territory. Instead, he gathered his whole army and went out to confront Israel in the wilderness. When he came to Jahaz, he fought against Israel.Israel struck him with the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, but only up to the Ammonite border, because it was fortified.Israel took all the cities and lived in all these Amorite cities, including Heshbon and all its surrounding villages.Heshbon was the city of King Sihon of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken control of all his land as far as the Arnon.Therefore the poets say: Come to Heshbon, let it be rebuilt; let the city of Sihon be restored.For fire came out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab, the citizens of Arnon’s heights.Woe to you, Moab! You have been destroyed, people of Chemosh! He gave up his sons as refugees, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon the Amorite king.We threw them down; Heshbon has been destroyed as far as Dibon. We caused desolation as far as Nophah, which reaches as far as Medeba.So Israel lived in the Amorites’ land.After Moses sent spies to Jazer, Israel captured its surrounding villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.Then they turned and went up the road to Bashan, and King Og of Bashan came out against them with his whole army to do battle at Edrei.But the LORD said to Moses,“ Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you along with his whole army and his land. Do to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”So they struck him, his sons, and his whole army until no one was left, and they took possession of his land.

Joshua 6:1-12
Now Jericho was strongly fortified because of the Israelites— no one leaving or entering.The LORD said to Joshua,“ Look, I have handed Jericho, its king, and its best soldiers over to you.March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days.Have seven priests carry seven ram’s-horn trumpets in front of the ark. But on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the ram’s horns.When there is a prolonged blast of the horn and you hear its sound, have all the troops give a mighty shout. Then the city wall will collapse, and the troops will advance, each man straight ahead.”So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said to them,“ Take up the ark of the covenant and have seven priests carry seven ram’s horns in front of the ark of the LORD.”He said to the troops,“ Move forward, march around the city, and have the armed men go ahead of the ark of the LORD.”After Joshua had spoken to the troops, seven priests carrying seven ram’s horns before the LORD moved forward and blew the ram’s horns; the ark of the LORD’s covenant followed them.While the ram’s horns were blowing, the armed men went in front of the priests who blew the ram’s horns, and the rear guard went behind the ark.But Joshua had commanded the troops,“ Do not shout or let your voice be heard. Don’t let one word come out of your mouth until the time I say,‘ Shout!’ Then you are to shout.”So the ark of the LORD was carried around the city, circling it once. They returned to the camp and spent the night there.Joshua got up early the next morning. The priests took the ark of the LORD,

Nehemiah 9:22-24
You gave them kingdoms and peoples and established boundaries for them. They took possession of the land of King Sihon of Heshbon and of the land of King Og of Bashan.You multiplied their descendants like the stars of the sky and brought them to the land you told their ancestors to go in and possess.So their descendants went in and possessed the land: You subdued the Canaanites who inhabited the land before them and handed their kings and the surrounding peoples over to them, to do as they pleased with them.
