and <B>Og the king of Bashan came out against us,</B> he and all his people, for battle at Edrei.</div> <div>  2 And Jehovah said to me, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.</div> <div>  3 And Jehovah our God gave into our hand Og the king of Bashan also, and all his people; and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.</div> <div>  4 And we took all his cities at that time: there was not a town which we took not from them, sixty cities, the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.</div> <div>  5 All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars;

From Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and the half of mount Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites;</div> <div>  13 and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh.
