Exegesis
The beneficiary phrase lemelekh emori sichon {לְמֶלֶךְ אֱמֹרִי סִיחוֹן | lə-mĕ-leḵ ʾĕ-mō-rî sî-ḥôn} ‘to Sihon king of the Amorites’ completes the transfer of power and underscores the irony of divine impotence.
In context — Numbers 21:29
Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, people of Chemosh ; he has given his sons as fugitives and his daughters into captivity to Sihon, king of the Amorites.
