Deuteronomy 3:1-12

1“1Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og, king of Bashan, came out 2with all his people to meet us in battle at Edrei. 2But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have handed him and all his people and his land over to you; and you shall do to him just as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.’ 3So the Lord our God also handed over to us Og, king of Bashan, with all his people, and we struck 3them until no survivor was 4left. 4We captured all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, all the region of 5Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many 6unwalled towns. 6We 7utterly destroyed them, as we did to 8Sihon king of Heshbon, 910utterly destroying 11the men, women, and children of every city. 712But all the animals and the spoils of the cities we took as our plunder.

8“13So at that time we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the 14Valley of Arnon to Mount Hermon 9(Sidonians 15call Hermon 16Sirion, and the Amorites call it 17Senir): 10all the cities of the plateau, all Gilead, and 18all Bashan, as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11(For only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the 19Rephaim. Behold, his 20bed was a 21bed of iron; it is in 22Rabbah of the sons of Ammon. Its length was nine cubits, and its width four cubits by 23the usual cubit.)

12“So we took possession of this land at that time. From 24Aroer, which is by the 25Valley of Arnon, and half the hill country of 26Gilead and its cities I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
