The Kings Defeated East of the Jordan
1 Now these are the kings of the land whom the Israelites struck down and whose lands they took beyond the Jordan to the east, from the Arnon Valley to Mount Hermon, including all the Arabah eastward:
2 Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon. He ruled from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along the middle of the valley, up to the Jabbok River (the border of the Ammonites), that is, half of Gilead, 3 as well as the Arabah east of the Sea of Chinnereth *That is, the Sea of Galilee to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea †That is, the Dead Sea), eastward through Beth-jeshimoth, and southward below the slopes of Pisgah.
4 And Og king of Bashan,‡LXX; Hebrew And the territory of Og king of Bashan one of the remnant of the Rephaim, who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei. 5 He ruled over Mount Hermon, Salecah, all of Bashan up to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and half of Gilead to the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
