Deuteronomy 3:2 In-Context

1 "Next, we moved north toward the region of Bashan, and King Og came out with all his men to fight us near the town of Edrei.

2 But the Lord said to me, "Don't be afraid of him. I am going to give him, his men, and all his territory to you. Do the same thing to him that you did to Sihon the Amorite king who ruled in Heshbon.'

3 "So the Lord also placed King Og and his people in our power, and we slaughtered them all.

4 At the same time we captured all his towns - there was not one that we did not take. In all we captured sixty towns - the whole region of Argob, where King Og of Bashan ruled.

5 All these towns were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars to lock the gates, and there were also many villages without walls.
