22 “Moreover You gave them kingdoms and nations,
And divided them into [a]districts.

And the land of Og king of Bashan.

King Sihon Defeated(A)
21 Then (B)Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22 (C)“Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into fields or vineyards; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.” 23 (D)But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together and [a]went out against Israel in the wilderness, (E)and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel. 24 Then (F)Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was fortified. 25 So Israel took all these cities, and Israel (G)dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all its villages. 26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and had taken all his land from his hand as far as the Arnon. 27 Therefore those who speak in [b]proverbs say:
“Come to Heshbon, let it be built;
Let the city of Sihon be repaired.
28 “For (H)fire went out from Heshbon,
A flame from the city of Sihon;
It consumed (I)Ar of Moab,
The lords of the (J)heights of the Arnon.
29 Woe to you, (K)Moab!
You have perished, O people of (L)Chemosh!
He has given his (M)sons as fugitives,
And his (N)daughters into captivity,
To Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 “But we have shot at them;
Heshbon has perished (O)as far as Dibon.
Then we laid waste as far as Nophah,
Which reaches to (P)Medeba.”
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. 32 Then Moses sent to [c]spy out (Q)Jazer; and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
King Og Defeated(R)
33 (S)And they turned and went up by the way to (T)Bashan. So Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle (U)at Edrei. 34 Then the Lord said to Moses, (V)“Do not fear him, for I have [d]delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; and (W)you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.” 35 (X)So they defeated him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land.

King Og Defeated(A)
3 “Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan; and (B)Og king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle (C)at Edrei. 2 And the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand; you shall do to him as you did to (D)Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.’
3 “So the Lord our God also delivered into our hands Og king of Bashan, with all his people, and we [a]attacked him until he had no survivors remaining. 4 And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, (E)all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many rural towns. 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king (F)of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city. 7 But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as booty for ourselves.
8 “And at that time we took the (G)land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were on this side of the Jordan, from the River Arnon to Mount (H)Hermon 9 (the Sidonians call (I)Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir), 10 (J)all the cities of the plain, all Gilead, and (K)all Bashan, as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11 (L)“For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of (M)the [b]giants. Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. (Is it not in (N)Rabbah of the people of Ammon?) Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width, according to the standard cubit.
The Land East of the Jordan Divided(O)
12 “And this (P)land, which we possessed at that time, (Q)from Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead and (R)its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites. 13 (S)The rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob, with all Bashan, was called the land of the [c]giants. 14 (T)Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, (U)as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and (V)called Bashan after his own name, [d]Havoth Jair, to this day.)
15 “Also I gave (W)Gilead to Machir. 16 And to the Reubenites (X)and the Gadites I gave from Gilead as far as the River Arnon, the middle of the river as the border, as far as the River Jabbok, (Y)the border of the people of Ammon; 17 the plain also, with the Jordan as the border, from Chinnereth (Z)as far as the east side of the Sea of the Arabah (AA)(the Salt Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah.

New King James Version
King Sihon Defeated(A)
26 “And I (B)sent messengers from the Wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon, (C)with words of peace, saying, 27 (D)‘Let me pass through your land; I will keep strictly to the road, and I will turn neither to the right nor to the left. 28 You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink; (E)only let me pass through on foot, 29 (F)just as the descendants of Esau who dwell in Seir and the Moabites who dwell in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land which the Lord our God is giving us.’
30 (G)“But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for (H)the Lord your God (I)hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as it is this day.
31 “And the Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to (J)give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to possess it, that you may inherit his land.’ 32 (K)Then Sihon and all his people came out against us to fight at Jahaz. 33 And (L)the Lord our God delivered him [a]over to us; so (M)we defeated him, his sons, and all his people. 34 We took all his cities at that time, and we (N)utterly destroyed the men, women, and little ones of every city; we left none remaining. 35 We took only the livestock as plunder for ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we took. 36 (O)From Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and from (P)the city that is in the ravine, as far as Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us; (Q)the Lord our God delivered all to us.
