Deuteronomy 3:1-9 ▼

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

2 But 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.

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

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

6 We 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.

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

8 “So we took the land of the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River—all the way from the Arnon Gorge to Mount Hermon.

9 (Mount Hermon is called Sirion by the Sidonians, and the Amorites call it Senir.)
