Deuteronomy 3:2 In-Context

1 When we headed up the road to Bashan, King Og of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, for battle at Edrei.

2 The Lord said to me, "Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you, along with his people and his land. Do to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon."

3 So the Lord our God also handed over to us King Og of Bashan and all his people. We struck him down until not a single survivor was left.

4 At that time we captured all his towns; there was no citadel that we did not take from them—sixty towns, the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5 All these were fortress towns with high walls, double gates, and bars, besides a great many villages.
