Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 11 of Judges. Jephthah attempts to resolve the conflict through a historical argument addressed to the king of Ammon. He recalls that Israel did not take Ammonite territory but lands that had belonged to Sihon, king of the Amorites. The argument is based on historical memory and the conviction that the Lord had given the territory to Israel. The conflict is thus presented not only as a military dispute but also as a matter of interpreting history and territorial boundaries.

und wandelte in der Wüste. Und sie umzogen das Land der Edomiter und Moabiter und kamen von der Sonne Aufgang an der Moabiter Land und lagerten sich jenseit des Arnon und kamen nicht in die Grenze der Moabiter; denn der Arnon ist der Moabiter Grenze.
Después, yendo por el desierto, rodeó la tierra de Edom y la tierra de Moab, y viniendo por el lado oriental de la tierra de Moab, asentó su campo de estotra parte de Arnón, y no entraron por el término de Moab: porque Arnón término es de Moab.
Luego caminó por el desierto, rodeó la tierra de Edom y la tierra de Moab y llegó al lado oriental de la tierra de Moab. Acamparon al otro lado del Arnón y no entraron en el territorio de Moab, porque el Arnón era la frontera de Moab.
Puis il marcha par le désert, tourna le pays d'Edom et le pays de Moab, et vint à l'orient du pays de Moab; ils campèrent au delà de l'Arnon, sans entrer sur le territoire de Moab, car l'Arnon est la frontière de Moab.
camminò per lo deserto, e circuì il paese di Edom, e il paese di Moab, e giunse al lato orientale del paese di Moab, e si accampò di là dall’Arnon, e non entrò dentro a’ confini di Moab, consiossiachè l’Arnon sia il confine di Moab.
Depois andou pelo deserto e rodeou a terra dos edomitas e a terra dos moabitas, e veio do nascente do sol à terra dos moabitas, e alojou-se além de Arnom; porém não entrou nos limites dos moabitas, porque Arnom é limite dos moabitas.
他們又經過曠野,繞過 以東 地和 摩押 地,到 摩押 地的東邊 ,在 亞嫩河 邊安營,並沒有進入 摩押 的境內,因為 亞嫩河 是 摩押 的邊界。
