* Then we turned , and went up the way to Bashan ; and Og the king of Bashan , came out against us , he and all his people , to battle at Edrei . * And the LORD said unto me , Fear him not , for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into thy hand , and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon , king of the Amorites , who dwelt at Heshbon . * So the LORD our God delivered into our hand Og also , the king of Bashan , and all his people , and we smote him until none was left to him remaining . * And we took all his cities at that time there was not a city which we did not take from them , sixty cities , all the region of Argob , of the kingdom of Og in Bashan . * All these cities [were ] fenced with high walls , gates , and bars besides a great many unwalled towns . * And we utterly destroyed them , as we did unto Sihon , king of Heshbon , utterly destroying every city , men , women , and children . * But all the beasts and the spoil of the cities , we took for a prey to ourselves . * And we [also ] took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that [was ] on this side of the Jordan , from the river of Arnon unto Mount Hermon * ([which ] Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion and the Amorites call it Shenir ) [and ] * all the cities of the plain and all Gilead and all Bashan unto Salchah and Edrei , cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan . * For only Og , king of Bashan , had remained of the remnant of giants ; behold , his bedstead [was ] a bedstead of iron ; is it not in Rabbath of the sons of Ammon ? Nine cubits [was ] the length thereof and four cubits the breadth of it , after the cubit of a man . * And this land , [which ] we inherited at that time , from Aroer , which [is ] by the river Arnon , and half of mount Gilead and the cities thereof , I gave unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites . * And the rest of Gilead and all Bashan ([fertile ground ]), [being ] the kingdom of Og , gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh : all the region of Argob , with all Bashan , which was called the land of giants . * Jair , the son of Manasseh , took all the country of Argob unto the border of Geshuri and Maachathi and called them after his own name , Bashanhavothjair , unto this day . * And I gave Gilead unto Machir . * And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon , half the valley for a border even unto the river Jabbok , [which is ] the border of the sons of Ammon , * the plain also and the Jordan and the border [thereof ] from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain , [even ] the salt sea , under Ashdothpisgah eastward . * And I commanded you at that time , saying , The LORD your God has given you this land to possess it ; ye shall pass armed before your brethren , the sons of Israel , all [that are ] valiant . * Only your wives and your little ones and your livestock (for I know that ye have much livestock ) shall abide in your cities which I have given you * until the LORD has given rest unto your brethren , as well as unto you , and [until ] they also inherit the land which the LORD your God has given them beyond the Jordan ; [then ] shall ye return each man unto his possession , which I have given you . * And I also commanded Joshua at that time , saying , Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done unto these two kings , so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms where thou passest . * Ye shall not fear them , for the LORD your God , he shall fight for you . * And I besought the LORD at that time , saying , * O Lord GOD , thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness and thy mighty hand ; for what God [is there ] in heaven or in earth that can do according to thy works and according to thy mighty acts ? * I pray thee , let me go over and see that good land that is beyond the Jordan , that goodly mountain and Lebanon . * But the LORD was angry with me for your sakes and would not hear me , and the LORD said unto me , Let it suffice thee ; speak no more unto me of this matter . * Climb up into the top of Pisgah and lift up thine eyes westward and towards the Aquilon and towards the Negev and eastward and behold [it ] with thine eyes , for thou shalt not go over this Jordan . * But charge Joshua and encourage him and comfort him , for he shall go over before this people , and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see . * So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor .:
