About Og Written by AI

Og was the Amorite king of Bashan during the time of the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land (Numbers 21:33; Deuteronomy 3:1). He ruled over the region of Bashan, which was known for its fertile land and fortified cities (Deuteronomy 3:4 to 5). Og and his army confronted the Israelites, but God delivered him into the hands of Moses and the Israelites (Numbers 21:34; Deuteronomy 3:3). The Israelites defeated Og, conquered his territory, and allocated it to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh (Numbers 32:33; Deuteronomy 3:12 to 13; Joshua 13:30 to 31). Og was renowned for his great size, and his iron bedstead was mentioned as a symbol of his stature (Deuteronomy 3:11). The defeat of Og was remembered as a significant victory for the Israelites and a testament to God's power and faithfulness (Deuteronomy 31:4; Joshua 2:10; Psalm Joshua 135:11).

Easton's Bible Dictionary, 1897

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.)
