Deuteronomy 3:3-11

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.

8“At that time we took the land from the two Amorite kings across the Jordan, from the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Hermon,

9which the Sidonians call Sirion, but the Amorites call Senir,

10all the cities of the plateau, Gilead, and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of Og’s kingdom in Bashan.

11(Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed was made of iron. Isn’t it in Rabbah of the Ammonites? It is 13½ feet long and 6 feet wide by a standard measure.)
