Deuteronomy 3 — Context

At that time we took all his towns; there was not one town of the sixty towns, all the country of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which we did not take.

All these towns had high walls round them with doors and locks; and in addition we took a great number of unwalled towns.

And we put them to the curse, every town together with men, women, and children.

But we took for ourselves all the cattle and the stored wealth of the towns.

At that time we took their land from the two kings of the Amorites on the far side of Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon;

(By the Sidonians, Hermon is named Sirion, and by the Amorites Shenir;)

All the towns of the table-land and all Gilead and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
