Deuteronomy 3:2 In-Context

1 Next we turned and followed the road that goes to Bashan. King Og of Bashan and all his troops came to fight us at Edrei.

2 The LORD said to me, "Don't be afraid of him. I'll hand him, all his troops, and his land over to you. Do to him what you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon."

3 So the LORD our God also handed King Og of Bashan and all his troops over to us. We defeated him, leaving no survivors.

4 At that time we captured all of his cities. There wasn't a city we didn't take. We captured a total of 60 cities--the whole territory of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5 All of these cities were fortified with high walls and double-door gates with bars across the gates. We also captured a large number of unwalled villages.
