Jahaz
Moses beat Sihon, the Amorite king, at Jahaz, on the plateau north of the Arnon. The town went to Reuben and then to the Merarite Levites, and because it changed hands with Moab more than once, Isaiah and Jeremiah both name it in their oracles against Moab.

Jahaz, also called Jahaza, Jahazah, or Jahzah, was a town on the plateau north of the Arnon River where Moses defeated Sihon, king of the Amorites, opening the way for Israel's settlement of the region (Numbers 21:23; Deuteronomy 2:32). It fell within the territory of Reuben and was later assigned to the Merarite Levites (Joshua 13:18; 21:36). Isaiah and Jeremiah both cite Jahaz in their oracles against Moab, since the town changed hands more than once during Moab's later conflicts with Israel (Isaiah 15:4; Jeremiah 48:34).
