21 And I charged Joshua as well at that time, saying: ‘Your own eyes have seen everything that the Lord your God has done to these two kings; so the Lord will do to all the kingdoms into which you are about to cross.

So the Lord our God also handed over to us King Og of Bashan and all his people. We struck him down until not a single survivor was left.(A) At that time we captured all his towns; there was no citadel that we did not take from them: sixty towns, the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.(B) All these were fortress towns with high walls, double gates, and bars, besides a great many villages. And we utterly destroyed them, as we had done to King Sihon of Heshbon, in each city utterly destroying men, women, and children.(C) But all the livestock and the plunder of the towns we kept as spoil for ourselves.

“So at that time we took from the two kings of the Amorites the land beyond the Jordan, from the Wadi Arnon to Mount Hermon (the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, while the Amorites call it Senir),(D) 10 all the towns of the tableland, the whole of Gilead, and all of Bashan, as far as Salecah and Edrei, towns of Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 11 (Now only King Og of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaim. In fact, his bed, an iron bed, can still be seen in Rabbah of the Ammonites. By the common cubit it is nine cubits long and four cubits wide.)(E)

So the Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down,(A) leaving no survivors.(B) At that time we took all his cities.(C) There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them—the whole region of Argob, Og’s kingdom(D) in Bashan.(E) All these cities were fortified with high walls and with gates and bars, and there were also a great many unwalled villages. We completely destroyed[a] them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying[b](F) every city—men, women and children. But all the livestock(G) and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves.

So at that time we took from these two kings of the Amorites(H) the territory east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge as far as Mount Hermon.(I) (Hermon is called Sirion(J) by the Sidonians; the Amorites call it Senir.)(K) 10 We took all the towns on the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salekah(L) and Edrei, towns of Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 11 (Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites.(M) His bed was decorated with iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide.[c] It is still in Rabbah(N) of the Ammonites.)

24 Israel put him to the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as to the Ammonites, for the boundary of the Ammonites was strong.(A) 25 Israel took all these towns, and Israel settled in all the towns of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages. 26 For Heshbon was the city of King Sihon of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and captured all his land as far as the Arnon. 27 Therefore the singers say,

“Come to Heshbon; let it be built;
    let the city of Sihon be established.
28 For fire came out from Heshbon,
    flame from the city of Sihon.
It devoured Ar of Moab
    and swallowed up[a] the heights of the Arnon.(B)
29 Woe to you, O Moab!
    You are undone, O people of Chemosh!
He has made his sons fugitives
    and his daughters captives
    to an Amorite king, Sihon.(C)
30 So their posterity perished
    from Heshbon[b] to Dibon,
    and we laid waste until fire spread to Medeba.”[c](D)

31 Thus Israel settled in the land of the Amorites. 32 Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.(E)

King Og Defeated

33 Then they turned and went up the road to Bashan, and King Og of Bashan came out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.(F) 34 But the Lord said to Moses, “Do not be afraid of him, for I have given him into your hand, with all his people and his land. You shall do to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”(G) 35 So they killed him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left, and they took possession of his land.

24 Israel, however, put him to the sword(A) and took over his land(B) from the Arnon to the Jabbok,(C) but only as far as the Ammonites,(D) because their border was fortified. 25 Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites(E) and occupied them,(F) including Heshbon(G) and all its surrounding settlements. 26 Heshbon was the city of Sihon(H) king of the Amorites,(I) who had fought against the former king of Moab(J) and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.(K)

27 That is why the poets say:

“Come to Heshbon and let it be rebuilt;
    let Sihon’s city be restored.

28 “Fire went out from Heshbon,
    a blaze from the city of Sihon.(L)
It consumed(M) Ar(N) of Moab,
    the citizens of Arnon’s heights.(O)
29 Woe to you, Moab!(P)
    You are destroyed, people of Chemosh!(Q)
He has given up his sons as fugitives(R)
    and his daughters as captives(S)
    to Sihon king of the Amorites.

30 “But we have overthrown them;
    Heshbon’s dominion has been destroyed all the way to Dibon.(T)
We have demolished them as far as Nophah,
    which extends to Medeba.(U)

31 So Israel settled in the land of the Amorites.(V)

32 After Moses had sent spies(W) to Jazer,(X) the Israelites captured its surrounding settlements and drove out the Amorites who were there. 33 Then they turned and went up along the road toward Bashan(Y),(Z) and Og king of Bashan and his whole army marched out to meet them in battle at Edrei.(AA)

34 The Lord said to Moses, “Do not be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.(AB)

35 So they struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army, leaving them no survivors.(AC) And they took possession of his land.(AD)
