Deuteronomy 3:1-7

1“Next we turned and headed for the land of Bashan, where King Og and his entire army attacked us at Edrei.

2But the Lord told me, ‘Do not be afraid of him, for I have given you victory over Og and his entire army, and I will give you all his land. Treat him just as you treated King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon.’

3“So the Lord our God handed King Og and all his people over to us, and we killed them all. Not a single person survived.

4We conquered all sixty of his towns—the entire Argob region in his kingdom of Bashan. Not a single town escaped our conquest.

5These towns were all fortified with high walls and barred gates. We also took many unwalled villages at the same time.

6We completely destroyed the kingdom of Bashan, just as we had destroyed King Sihon of Heshbon. We destroyed all the people in every town we conquered—men, women, and children alike.

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