Deuteronomy 3:1-12 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. THEN WE turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

2. And the Lord said to me, Do not fear him, for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hand; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.

3. So the Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his people, and we smote him until not one was left to him.

4. And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them, sixty cities, the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5. All these cities were fortified with high and haughty walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many unwalled villages.

6. And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city–men, women, and children.

7. But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities we took for booty for ourselves.

8. So we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the Valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon

9. (The Sidonians call Hermon, Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir),

10. All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

11. For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the [gigantic] Rephaim. Behold, his bedstead was of iron; is it not in Rabbah of the Ammonites? Nine cubits was its length and four cubits its breadth, using the cubit of a man [the forearm to the end of the middle finger].

12. When we took possession of this land, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead and its cities.
