Deuteronomy 3:1-7

1“Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and King Og of Bashan came out against us with his whole army to do battle at Edrei.

2But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you along with his whole army and his land. Do to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.’

3So the Lord our God also handed over King Og of Bashan and his whole army to us. We struck him until there was no survivor left.

4We captured all his cities at that time. There wasn’t a city that we didn’t take from them: sixty cities, the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5All these were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a large number of rural villages.

6We completely destroyed them, as we had done to King Sihon of Heshbon, destroying the men, women, and children of every city.

7But we took all the livestock and the spoil from the cities as plunder for ourselves.
