5 Each of these towns was fortified with high walls, double gates, and crossbars. Outside the towns there were also a great number of villages.
6 We placed them under the ban, just as we did with Sihon, Heshn’s king. Every town—men, women, and children—was under the ban.
7 The only things we kept for ourselves were the animals and the plunder from the towns.
8 So at that time, we took the land that had belonged to the two Amorite kings beyond the Jordan, all the way from the Arnon Ravine to Mount Hermon (
9 Sidonians call Hermon "Sirion," but the Amorites call it "Senir"),
10 including all the towns on the plateau, in the regions of Gilead and Bashan, and all the way to Salecah and Edrei—all the towns that belonged to Og’s kingdom in Bashan.(
11 By the way, Bashan’s King Og was the last of the Rephaim. His bed was made of iron. Isn’t it still in the Ammonite town of Rabbah? By standard measurements, it was thirteen and a half feet long and six feet wide.)
