At that time we took all his cities.(A) There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them—the whole region of Argob, Og’s kingdom(B) in Bashan.(C) All these cities were fortified with high walls and with gates and bars, and there were also a great many unwalled villages. We completely destroyed[a] them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying[b](D) every city—men, women and children. But all the livestock(E) and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves.

So at that time we took from these two kings of the Amorites(F) the territory east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge as far as Mount Hermon.(G) (Hermon is called Sirion(H) by the Sidonians; the Amorites call it Senir.)(I) 10 We took all the towns on the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salekah(J) and Edrei, towns of Og’s kingdom in Bashan.
