The Defeat of King Og

Deuteronomy 3

1 "Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan; and a Og king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle b at Edrei. 2 "And the LORD said to me, 'Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand; you shall do to him as you did to c Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.' 3 "So the LORD our God also delivered into our hands Og king of Bashan, with all his people, and we 1 attacked him until he had no survivors remaining. 4 "And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, d all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 "All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many rural towns. 6 "And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king e of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city. 7 "But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as booty for ourselves. 8 "And at that time we took the f land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were on this side of the Jordan, from the River Arnon to Mount g Hermon 9 "(the Sidonians call h Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir), 10 i "all the cities of the plain, all Gilead, and j all Bashan, as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 k "For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of l the 2 giants. Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. (Is it not in m Rabbah of the people of Ammon?) Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width, according to the standard cubit.

12 "And this n land, which we possessed at that time, o from Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead and p its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites. 13 q "The rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob, with all Bashan, was called the land of the 3 giants. 14 r "Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, s as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and t called Bashan after his own name, 4 Havoth Jair, 5 to this day.) 15 "Also I gave u Gilead to Machir. 16 "And to the Reubenites v and the Gadites I gave from Gilead as far as the River Arnon, the middle of the river as the border, as far as the River Jabbok, w the border of the people of Ammon; 17 "the plain also, with the Jordan as the border, from Chinnereth x as far as the east side of the Sea of the Arabah y (the Salt Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah.

18 "Then I commanded you at that time, saying: 'The LORD your God has given you this land to possess. z All you men of valor shall cross over armed before your brethren, the children of Israel. 19 'But your wives, your little ones, and your livestock (I know that you have much livestock) shall stay in your cities which I have given you, 20 'until the LORD has given a rest to your brethren as to you, and they also possess the land which the LORD your God is giving them beyond the Jordan. Then each of you may b return to his possession which I have given you.' 21 "And c I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, 'Your eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings; so will the LORD do to all the kingdoms through which you pass. 22 'You must not fear them, for d the LORD your God Himself fights for you.'
