Deuteronomy 3:1-7

1Then we turnedH6437 and went upH5927 the roadH1870 to BashanH1316, and OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316H1931 and his wholeH3605 armyH5971 came outH3318 to meet usH7122 in battleH4421 at EdreiH154. 2But the LORDH3068 saidH559 to meH413, “Do notH408 fear himH3372, forH3588 I have deliveredH5414 himH853 into your handH3027, along withH853 allH3605 his peopleH5971 and his landH776. DoH6213 to him asH834 you didH6213 to SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, whoH834 livedH3427 in HeshbonH2809.”

3So the LORDH3068 our GodH430 alsoH1571 deliveredH5414 OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316 and his wholeH3605 armyH5971 into our handsH3027. We struck them downH5221 until noH1115 survivorH8300 was leftH7604.

4At thatH1931 timeH6256 we capturedH3920 allH3605 sixtyH8346 of his citiesH5892. There was notH3808H1961 a single cityH7151 we failed toH3808 takeH3947—the entireH3605 regionH2256 of ArgobH709, the kingdomH4467 of OgH5747 in BashanH1316. 5AllH3605 theseH428 citiesH5892 were fortifiedH1219 with highH1364 wallsH2346 and gatesH1817 and barsH1280, and there wereH905H5892 many moreH7235H3966 unwalled villagesH6521. 6We devoted them to destructionH2763,1 asH834 we had doneH6213 to SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, utterly destroyingH2763 the menH4962, womenH802, and childrenH2945 of everyH3605 cityH5892.

7But allH3605 the livestockH929 and plunderH7998 of the citiesH5892 we carried offH962 for ourselves.
