Joshua 13:11 In-Context

9 This land extended from Aroer at the edge of the Arnon Gorge and the city in the middle of the valley, taking in the entire tableland of Medeba as far as Dibon,

10 and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled from Heshbon, and out to the border of the Ammonites.

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

12 - the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei. He was one of the last survivors of the Rephaim. Moses had defeated them and taken their land.

13 The People of Israel never did drive out the Geshurites and the Maacathites - they're still there, living in Israel.
