Deuteronomy 3:3-11

3So the Lord our God also handed King Og of Bashan and all his troops over to us. We defeated him, leaving no survivors.

4At that time we captured all of his cities. There wasn’t a city we didn’t take. We captured a total of 60 cities—the whole territory of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5All of these cities were fortified with high walls and double-door gates with bars across the gates. We also captured a large number of unwalled villages.

6We claimed them all for God, destroying every city, including men, women, and children—as we did to King Sihon of Heshbon.

7However, we did loot the cities, taking all of the cattle and goods.

8We took the land of the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River, from the Arnon Valley to Mount Hermon.

9(The Sidonians call Mount Hermon by the name Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir.)

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

11(Of the Rephaim only King Og of Bashan was left. His bed was made of iron and was more than 13 feet long and 6 feet wide. It is still in the Ammonite city of Rabbah.)
