Deuteronomy 3:1-7
The Defeat of King Og
1“Then we turned and went up the way to Bashan. And aOg the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at bEdrei. 2But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hand. And you shall do to him as you did to cSihon the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’ 3So the Lord our God gave into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people, dand we struck him down until he had no survivor left. 4And we took all his cities at that time—there was not a city that we did not take from them—sixty cities, ethe whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides very many unwalled villages. 6And fwe devoted them to destruction, ▼▼That is, set apart ( devoted) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction); twice in this verse
as we did to Sihon the king of Heshbon, devoting to destruction every hcity, men, women, and children. 7But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as our plunder.
