In Numbers, chapter 21 from verses 10 through 35, the Israelites move on from the victory at Canaan and settle in the wilderness east of the Moabite territory.
When they soon came to the territory of the Amorite king Sihon, Moses sent messengers to ask for passage through their country if they promised to stay only on the road.
Once again, they were denied access.
Once again, the Israelites were forced to attack and captured all of the cities in the territory.
God told Moses not to be afraid when they took the road to the city of Bashan, and when the Bashan king and his armies attacked the Israelites, they were also killed, leaving no survivors.
