Deuteronomy 2:17 · KJV
For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.

That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.
