Instead, Sihon gathered all his troops, camped at Jahaz, and fought with Israel.Then the LORD God of Israel handed over Sihon and all his troops to Israel, and they defeated them. So Israel took possession of the entire land of the Amorites who lived in that country.

Numbers 20:14-19
Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom,“ This is what your brother Israel says,‘ You know all the hardships that have overtaken us.Our ancestors went down to Egypt, and we lived in Egypt many years, but the Egyptians treated us and our ancestors badly.When we cried out to the LORD, he heard our plea, and sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the border of your territory.Please let us travel through your land. We won’t travel through any field or vineyard, or drink any well water. We will travel the King’s Highway; we won’t turn to the right or the left until we have traveled through your territory.’”But Edom answered him,“ You will not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.”“ We will go on the main road,” the Israelites replied to them,“ and if we or our herds drink your water, we will pay its price. There will be no problem; only let us travel through on foot.”
