<t /><p class="bodytext">Next we set out on<n id="1" /> the route to Bashan,<n id="2" /> but King Og of Bashan and his whole army<n id="3" /> came out to meet us in battle at Edrei.<n id="4" />

So the <sc>Lordsc> 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.<n id="1" />

all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead and Bashan as far as Salecah<n id="1" /> and Edrei,<n id="2" /> cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

They possessed his land and that of King Og of Bashan &#8211; both of whom were Amorite kings in the Transjordan, to the east.

We captured all his cities at that time &#8211; there was not a town we did not take from them &#8211; sixty cities, all the region of Argob,<n id="1" /> the dominion of Og in Bashan.
