Deuteronomy 3:1-7

The Battle at Bashan
3 When we turned and went up the road toward Bashan, Og king of Bashan and all his army came out to fight us at Edrei. 2 The Lord said to me, “Don’t be afraid of Og, because I will hand him, his whole army, and his land over to you. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon [Num. 21:33–35].”
3 So the Lord our God gave ·us [L into our hands] Og king of Bashan and all his army; we ·defeated [L struck] them and ·left no one alive [there were no survivors]. 4 Then we captured all of Og’s cities, all sixty of them, and took the whole area of Argob, Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 5 All these were ·strong [fortified] cities, with high walls and ·gates [double doors] with bars. And there were also many small towns with no walls. 6 We ·completely destroyed them [devoted them to the Lord; 20:15–18; Josh. 6:17], just like the cities of Sihon king of Heshbon. We killed all the men, women, and children, 7 but we kept all the cattle and ·valuable things [plunder] from the cities for ourselves.
