Moses reminded them of the defeat of King Og

3 “Then we turned north and went toward the Bashan region. Og, the king of that area, and all his soldiers marched south to fight against us at Edrei town. 2 Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not be afraid of him, because I will enable your army to defeat [MTY] him and all his army and to capture all their land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon city.’

3 “So Yahweh enabled us to defeat [IDM] King Og and all his army. We killed them all; we did not allow any of them to remain alive. 4 There were 60 cities in that region near Argob, in King Og’s kingdom of Bashan. But we captured all of them 5 All those cities had high walls around them with gates and bars. We also captured many villages that did not have walls around them. 6 We completely destroyed everything, just as we had done in the area that King Sihon ruled. We killed all the men, women, and children. 7 But from those cities we took for ourselves all the livestock and other valuable things.

8 “So at that time we took from those two kings of the Amor people-group all the land east of the Jordan River, from the Arnon River gorge in the south to Hermon Mountain in the north.” 9 (That mountain is called Sirion by the people of Sidon city and is called Senir by the Amor people-group.) 10 “We captured all the towns on the ◄plateau/high level land►, and all the Gilead region, and all the Bashan region as far east as Edrei and Salecah towns, which also belonged to Og’s kingdom.” 11 (Og was the last king who was a descendant of the Repha giants. His bed was made of iron. It was almost ◄14 feet/4 meters► long and ◄6 feet/2 meters► wide. It is still [RHQ] in Rabbah city in the Ammon area.)
