(Devarim 1:4) "after he had smitten Sichon, king of the Emori": An analogy: A king and his army have sortied into the desert. The king to his soldiers: When we come to an (inhabited) land, I will give you amnonoth (types of delicacies): His soldiers: "Give us amnonoth here." And he gave them. "Give us hot gluskaoth." And he gave them. The commander: "Because the king is wealthy and merciful, you belabor him? In the beginning I said nothing to you, so that you would not say that the king is unable to supply your needs, but now I tell you — Why do you have no faith in him!"
