¹⁰ and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan—Sihon king of Heshbon,^(A) and Og king of Bashan,^(B) who reigned in Ashtaroth.^(C)

³⁰ But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the Lord^(A) your God had made his spirit stubborn^(B) and his heart obstinate^(C) in order to give him into your hands,^(D) as he has now done.

³¹ The Lord said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”^(E)

³² When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle^(F) at Jahaz, ³³ the Lord our God delivered^(G) him over to us and we struck him down,^(H) together with his sons and his whole army. ³⁴ At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed^[a](I) them—men, women and children. We left no survivors. ³⁵ But the livestock^(J) and the plunder^(K) from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves. ³⁶ From Aroer^(L) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the gorge, even as far as Gilead,^(M) not one town was too strong for us. The Lord our God gave^(N) us all of them. ³⁷ But in accordance with the command of the Lord our God,^(O) you did not encroach on any of the land of the Ammonites,^(P) neither the land along the course of the Jabbok^(Q) nor that around the towns in the hills.

Defeat of Og King of Bashan

3 Next we turned and went up along the road toward Bashan, and Og king of Bashan^(R) with his whole army marched out to meet us in battle at Edrei.^{(S) 2} The Lord said to me, “Do not be afraid^(T) of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.”

³ So the Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down,^(U) leaving no survivors.^{(V) 4} At that time we took all his cities.^(W) There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them—the whole region of Argob, Og’s kingdom^(X) in Bashan.^{(Y) 5} All these cities were fortified with high walls and with gates and bars, and there were also a great many unwalled villages. ⁶ We completely destroyed^[b] them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying^[c](Z) every city—men, women and children. ⁷ But all the livestock^(AA) and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves.

⁴ This was after he had defeated Sihon^(A) king of the Amorites,^(B) who reigned in Heshbon,^(C) and at Edrei had defeated Og^(D) king of Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth.^(E)

²⁴ Israel, however, put him to the sword^(A) and took over his land^(B) from the Arnon to the Jabbok,^(C) but only as far as the Ammonites,^(D) because their border was fortified. ²⁵ Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites^(E) and occupied them,^(F) including Heshbon^(G) and all its surrounding settlements. ²⁶ Heshbon was the city of Sihon^(H) king of the Amorites,^(I) who had fought against the former king of Moab^(J) and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.^(K)

²⁷ That is why the poets say:

³¹ So Israel settled in the land of the Amorites.^(V)

³² After Moses had sent spies^(W) to Jazer,^(X) the Israelites captured its surrounding settlements and drove out the Amorites who were there. ³³ Then they turned and went up along the road toward Bashan^(Y),^(Z) and Og king of Bashan and his whole army marched out to meet them in battle at Edrei.^(AA)

³⁴ The Lord said to Moses, “Do not be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.^(AB)”

³⁵ So they struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army, leaving them no survivors.^(AC) And they took possession of his land.^(AD)
