Intertextuality Pair

Psalm 135:10-11 → Deuteronomy 2:33

Allusion

Later text

Psalm 135:10-11BSB

He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings: Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.

Earlier text

Deuteronomy 2:33BSB

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

Significance

Deuteronomy 2:33 records that "the LORD our God delivered him over to us, and we defeated him and his sons" when Sihon attacked at Jahaz. Psalm 135:10-11 transforms this historical narrative into liturgical praise: "He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings: Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan." Both texts name Sihon specifically and credit the victory to the LORD (not to Israel's military prowess). The psalmist converts Moses's first-person historical account into third-person hymnic celebration, preserving the Deuteronomic emphasis on divine agency while making it the basis for congregational worship of Yahweh's power over the nations.

Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — the Sihon victory Moses attributes wholly to divine agency (Deut 2:33) becomes congregational praise in Psalm 135:10-11 ("He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings"), the conquest narrative advanced into Israel's liturgy as one stage of the warfare history that culminates in Christ's triumph over the powers.
