Strong's Lexicon Sichon: Sihon Original Word: סִיחוֹן Word Origin: Of uncertain origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Sihon, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew context. However, references to Sihon in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) would use a transliteration of the name. Usage: Sihon is a proper noun referring to the Amorite king who ruled over Heshbon. He is most notably recognized for his opposition to the Israelites during their journey to the Promised Land. Sihon refused to allow the Israelites passage through his territory, leading to a significant battle in which he was defeated by the Israelites under Moses' leadership. Cultural and Historical Background: Sihon was a king of the Amorites, a group of ancient people frequently mentioned in the Old Testament. The Amorites were known for their fortified cities and were considered formidable opponents. Sihon's kingdom was located east of the Jordan River, and his capital was Heshbon. The defeat of Sihon and the subsequent conquest of his land were pivotal events for the Israelites, as they marked the beginning of their possession of territories east of the Jordan, which were later allocated to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
