SIHON
si'-hon (cichon): King of the Amorites, who vainly opposed Israel on their journey from Egypt to Israel, and who is frequently mentioned in the historical books and in the Psalms because of his prominence and as a warning for those who rise against Yahweh and His people (Nu 21:21, and often; Dt 1:4; 31:4; Josh 2:10; Jdg 11:19,20,21; 1 Ki 4:19; Neh 9:22; Ps 135:11; 136:19; Jer 48:45). |
