“Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh.”
King James Version (KJV)
11:17 Abode - Peaceably, and did not revenge their unkindness as they could have done.
