Joshua 13:11

And Gilead
The land of Gilead, which was part of the kingdom of Og, half of which was given to Reuben, and the other half to Gad:

and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites;
of which see ( Deuteronomy 3:14 ) ;

and all Mount Hermon;
called also Sirion, Shenir, and Sion, ( Deuteronomy 3:9 ) ( 4:48 ) ;

and all Bashan unto Salcah;
another part of the dominions of Og, ( Deuteronomy 3:10 ) .

Joshua 13:11 In-Context

9 from Aroer, which [is] on the edge of the wadi of Arnon, and the city which [is] in the middle of the wadi, and all the plateau [from] Medeba up to Dibon;

10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon up to the border of the {Ammonites};

11 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurite and the Maacathites, all of {Mount Hermon}, and Bashan up to Salecah;

12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei--he was left over from the survivors of the Rephaim; these Moses had defeated and driven out.

13 But the {Israelites} did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites; Geshur and Maacah live among Israel to this day.
