Deuteronomy 3:1-7

1Next we set out on the route to Bashan, but King Og of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet us in battle at Edrei.

2The Lord, however, said to me, “Don’t be afraid of him because I have already given him, his whole army, and his land to you. You will do to him exactly what you did to King Sihon of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon.”

3So the Lord our God did indeed give over to us King Og of Bashan and his whole army and we struck them down until not a single survivor was left.

4We captured all his cities at that time – there was not a town we did not take from them – sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the dominion of Og in Bashan.

5All of these cities were fortified by high walls, gates, and locking bars; in addition there were a great many open villages.

6We put all of these under divine judgment just as we had done to King Sihon of Heshbon – every occupied city, including women and children.

7But all the livestock and plunder from the cities we kept for ourselves.
