Context of Deuteronomy 3:8
6We destroyed them completely as a gift to the Lord. We had done the same thing to the cities of Sihon, king of Heshbon. We destroyed every city and we killed all the men, women and children. 7But we kept all the animals and the valuable things from the cities for ourselves. So, at that time, we took power over all the land that the two Amorite kings, Og and Bashan, had ruled. Their land was east of the Jordan River, from the Arnon valley to Mount Hermon. 9(The people from Sidon call Mount Hermon ‘Sirion’. The Amorites call it ‘Senir’.) 10We took all their cities in the high, flat land and cities in the whole of Gilead and in Bashan. We went as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities that belonged to the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
