The Conquered Kings East of the Jordan

12 The following are the kings of the land whom the people of Israel struck down and then took possession of their land, which was east of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the Arnon Canyon to Mount Hermon, including all of the Arabah east of the Jordan.

² The first was Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon. He ruled over the territory that extends from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Arnon Canyon, and from the middle of the canyon^[a] all the way north to the Jabbok Canyon, which is the border of the Ammonites. ³ This includes half of Gilead. He also ruled over the eastern part of the Arabah^[b] from the Sea of Kinneret^[c] south as far as the Sea of the Arabah, which is the Salt Sea,^[d] and east in the direction of Beth Jeshimoth and south as far as the slopes of Pisgah.

⁴ The second area was the territory of Og king of Bashan, who was from a remnant of the Rephaim^[e] and who lived in Ashtaroth and in Edrei. ⁵ He was ruler in Mount Hermon, in Salekah, and in all Bashan up to the border of the Geshurites and the Ma’akathites,^[f] and in half of Gilead as far south as the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.

⁶ Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the people of Israel struck them down. Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave this land east of the Jordan as a possession to the tribe of Reuben, to the tribe of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
