- When he arrived there, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down with him from the hills, with him leading them.
- "Follow me," he ordered, "for the LORD has given Moab, your enemy, into your hands." So they followed him down and, taking possession of the fords of the Jordan that led to Moab, they allowed no one to cross over.
- At that time they struck down about ten thousand Moabites, all vigorous and strong; not a man escaped.
- That day Moab was made subject to Israel, and the land had peace for eighty years.
