9 When all the kings who were on the west side of the Jordan+ heard what had happened, those in the mountainous region, in the She·pheʹlah, along the entire coast of the Great Sea,*+ and in front of Lebʹa·non—the Hitʹtites, the Amʹor·ites, the Caʹnaan·ites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites+— 2 they formed an alliance to fight against Joshua and Israel.+

9 At this they said to him: “Your servants have come from a very distant land+ out of regard for the name of Jehovah your God, because we have heard about his fame and about all he did in Egypt+ 10 and about all he did to the two kings of the Amʹor·ites who were on the other side* of the Jordan, King Siʹhon+ of Heshʹbon and King Og+ of Baʹshan, who was in Ashʹta·roth.
