Context of Deuteronomy 3:6

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. We 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. 8So at that time we took the land of the two Amorite kings in the Transjordan from Wadi Arnon to Mount Hermon
