Context — The Defeat of Sihon

31Then the LORD said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.” 32So Sihon and his whole army came out for battle against us at Jahaz.

33And the LORD our God delivered him over to us, and we defeated him and his sons and his whole army.

34At that time we captured all his cities and devoted to destruction the people of every city, including women and children. We left no survivors. 35We carried off for ourselves only the livestock and the plunder from the cities we captured.

Deuteronomy 2:33 Summary

This verse means that God helped the Israelites defeat their enemy, Sihon, and his army. This shows that God is powerful and will help His people when they trust in Him, as seen in Deuteronomy 31:6.
