Deuteronomy 2:12

וּבְשֵׂעִ֞יר יָשְׁב֣וּ הַחֹרִים֮ לְפָנִים֒ וּבְנֵ֧י עֵשָׂ֣ו יִֽירָשׁ֗וּם וַיַּשְׁמִידוּם֙ מִפְּנֵיהֶ֔ם וַיֵּשְׁב֖וּ תַּחְתָּ֑ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֧ר עָשָׂ֣ה יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל לְאֶ֨רֶץ֙ יְרֻשָּׁתֹ֔ו אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֥ן יְהוָ֖ה לָהֶֽם׃

And in Seʿir, the Ḥorites formerly lived, but the descendants of ʿEsav dispossessed them, destroying them before themselves, and settled in their place, just as Yisraʾel did to the land of their possession, which YHWH gave to them.
