🗺 Places mentioned alongside Og on the map →
Og was the Amorite king of Bashan during the time of the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land (Num.21.33; Deu.3.1). He ruled over the region of Bashan, which was known for its fertile land and fortified cities (Deu.3.4-5). Og and his army confronted the Israelites, but God delivered him into the hands of Moses and the Israelites (Num.21.34; Deu.3.3). The Israelites defeated Og, conquered his territory, and allocated it to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh (Num.32.33; Deu.3.12-13; Jos.13.30-31). Og was renowned for his great size, and his iron bedstead was mentioned as a symbol of his stature (Deu.3.11). The defeat of Og was remembered as a significant victory for the Israelites and a testament to God's power and faithfulness (Deu.31.4; Jos.2.10; 9.10; Psalm Jos.135.11; 136.20).

Gigantic, the king of Bashan, who was defeated by Moses in a pitched battle at Edrei, and was slain along with his sons (Deut. 1:4), and whose kingdom was given to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh (Num. 21:32-35; Deut. 3:1-13). His bedstead (or rather sarcophagus) was of iron (or ironstone), 9 cubits in length and 4 cubits in breadth. His overthrow was afterwards celebrated in song (Ps. 135:11; 136:20). (See SIHON.)
(giant, literally long-necked), an Amoritish king of Bashan, whose rule extended over sixty cities. (Joshua 13:12) He was one of the last representatives of the giant race of Rephaim, and was, with his children and his people, defeated and exterminated by the Israelites at Edrei immediately after the conquest of Sihon. (Numbers 32:33; 3:1-13) Also (1:4; 4:47; 31:4; Joshua 2:10; 9:10; 13:12,30) The belief in Og’s enormous stature is corroborated by an allusion to his iron bedstead preserved in “Rabbath of the children of Ammon.” (3:11) (B.C. 1461.)
