Deuteronomy 3 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

The conquest of Og king of Bashan.

Og was very powerful, but he did not take warning by the ruin of Sihon, and desire conditions of peace. He trusted his own strength, and so was hardened to his destruction. Those not awakened by the judgments of God on others, ripen for the like judgments on themselves. (De 3:12-20)
