And the Lord will do to them (A)as he did to Sihon (B)and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when he destroyed them.

21 And I commanded (A)Joshua at that time, ‘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 into which you are crossing.

So the Lord our God gave into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people, (A)and we struck him down until he had no survivor left. And we took all his cities at that time—there was not a city that we did not take from them—sixty cities, (B)the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides very many unwalled villages. And (C)we devoted them to destruction,[a] as we did to Sihon the king of Heshbon, devoting to destruction every (D)city, men, women, and children. But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as our plunder. 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 (the Sidonians call (E)Hermon (F)Sirion, while the Amorites call it (G)Senir), 10 all the cities of the (H)tableland and all Gilead and all Bashan, as far as (I)Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 (For (J)only Og the king of Bashan was left of the remnant of (K)the Rephaim. Behold, his bed was a bed of iron. Is it not in (L)Rabbah of the Ammonites? Nine cubits[b] was its length, and four cubits its breadth, according to the (M)common cubit.[c])

24 (A)And Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the (B)Jabbok, as far as to the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strong. 25 And Israel took all these cities, and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages. 26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon. 27 Therefore the (C)ballad singers say,

“Come to (D)Heshbon, let it be built;
    let the city of Sihon be established.
28 For (E)fire came out from (F)Heshbon,
    flame from the city of Sihon.
It devoured (G)Ar of Moab,
    and swallowed[a] the heights of the Arnon.
29 (H)Woe to you, O Moab!
    You are undone, O people of (I)Chemosh!
He has made his sons fugitives,
    and his daughters captives,
    to an Amorite king, Sihon.
30 So we overthrew them;
    Heshbon, as far as (J)Dibon, perished;
    and we laid waste as far as Nophah;
    fire spread as far as (K)Medeba.”[b]

King Og Defeated

31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. 32 And Moses sent to spy out (L)Jazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there. 33 Then they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. And Og the king of Bashan came out against them, he and all his people, to battle (M)at Edrei. 34 (N)But the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all his people, and his land. And (O)you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.” 35 So they defeated him and his sons and all his people, until he had no survivor left. And they possessed his land.
