(warrior) king of the Amorites when Isr'l arrived on the borders of the promised land. (Numbers 21:21) (B.C. 1451.) Shortly before the time of Isr'l's arrival he had dispossessed the Moabites of a splendid territory, driving them south of the natural bulwark of the Amen. Ibid. (Numbers 21:26-29) When the Isr'lite host appeared, he did not hesitate or temporize like Balak, but at once gathered his people together and attacked them. But the battle was his last. He and all his host were destroyed, and their district from Amen to Jabbok became at once the possession of the conqueror.
