Deuteronomy 3:2 In-Context

1 Next we turned and went up along the road to Bashan. Og, Bashan's king, came out with all his forces to meet us in battle at Edrei.

2 The LORD said to me: Don't be afraid of him! I have handed him, all his forces, and his land over to you. Do the same thing to him that you did to Sihon, the Amorite king who ruled in Heshbon.

3 And so the LORD our God also handed Og, Bashan's king, along with his forces, over to us. We struck them down until no survivor was left.

4 We also captured all of Og's towns at that time. There wasn't a single city that we didn't take from them—a total of sixty towns, the entire region of Argob, the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5 Each of these towns was fortified with high walls, double gates, and crossbars. Outside the towns there were also a great number of villages.
