Joshua 13:11 In-Context

9 The border extended from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Valley, including the city in the middle of the valley, and the whole plateau from Medeba to Dibon.

10 It included all the cities of King Sihon of the Amorites up to the border of Ammon. Sihon's capital was Heshbon.

11 It also included Gilead, the territory of the people of Geshur and Maacath, all of Mount Hermon, and all of Bashan as far as Salecah

12 (the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan). Og ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei. He was the last of the Rephaim. Moses had defeated them and forced them out.

13 But the Israelites did not force out the people of Geshur and Maacath. So they still live in Israel today.
