Christian Standard Bible

Defeat of Og of Bashan

3 “Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and King Og of Bashan^(A) came out against us with his whole army to do battle at Edrei.^{(B) 2} But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you along with his whole army and his land. Do to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites,^(C) who lived in Heshbon.’ ³ So the Lord our God also handed over King Og of Bashan and his whole army to us. We struck him until there was no survivor left.^{(D) 4} We captured all his cities at that time. There wasn’t a city that we didn’t take from them: sixty cities, the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. ⁵ All these were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a large number of rural villages. ⁶ We completely destroyed them, as we had done to King Sihon of Heshbon, destroying the men, women, and children of every city. ⁷ But we took all the livestock and the spoil from the cities as plunder for ourselves.^(E)

The Land of the Transjordan Tribes

⁸ “At that time we took the land from the two Amorite kings across the Jordan,^(F) from the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Hermon, ⁹ which the Sidonians call Sirion, but the Amorites call Senir, ¹⁰ all the cities of the plateau, Gilead, and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of Og’s kingdom in Bashan.^{(G) 11} (Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaim.^(H) His bed^[a] was made of iron. Isn’t it in Rabbah of the Ammonites?^(I) It is 13½ feet long and 6 feet wide by a standard measure.^[b])^(J)
