Defeat of King Og of Bashan Next we set out on the route to Bashan, but King Og of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet us in battle at Edrei.

The LORD, however, said to me,“Don’t be afraid of him because I have already given him, his whole army, and his land to you. You will do to him exactly what you did to King Sihon of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon.”

3

So the LORD our God did indeed give over to us King Og of Bashan and his whole army and we struck them down until not a single survivor was left.

We captured all his cities at that time– there was not a town we did not take from them– sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the dominion of Og in Bashan.

All of these cities were fortified by high walls, gates, and locking bars; in addition there were a great many open villages.
