Contextual Overview

1 When we turned and went up the road toward Bashan, Og king of Bashan and all his army came out to fight us at Edrei. 2 The Lord said to me, "Don't be afraid of Og, because I will hand him, his whole army, and his land over to you. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon." 3 So the Lord our God gave us Og king of Bashan and all his army; we defeated them and left no one alive. 4 Then we captured all of Og's cities, all sixty of them, and took the whole area of Argob, Og's kingdom in Bashan. 5 All these were strong cities, with high walls and gates with bars. And there were also many small towns with no walls. 6 We completely destroyed them, just like the cities of Sihon king of Heshbon. We killed all the men, women, and children, 7 but we kept all the cattle and valuable things from the cities for ourselves. 8 So at that time we took the land east of the Jordan River, from the Arnon Ravine to Mount Hermon, from these two Amorite kings. 9 (Hermon is called Sirion by the Sidonian people, but the Amorites call it Senir.) 10 We captured all the cities on the high plain and all of Gilead, and we took all of Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, towns in Og's kingdom of Bashan.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Bashan: Bashan, one of the most fertile districts of the Holy Land, was bounded on the west by the Jordan and lake of Gennesareth, on the east by Trachonitis, on the south by the brook Jabbok, and on the north by mount Hermon; and seems to have been composed of two or three districts, on the south the land of Gilead, on the north the region of Argob, and east of both, the plain of Hauran. - See note on Deuteronomy 3:13, see note on Deuteronomy 3:14, and see note on Deuteronomy 3:15. The scenery of this elevated tract is described by Mr. Buckingham as extremely beautiful: its plains covered with a fertile soil; its hills covered with forests, and at every new turn presenting the most beautiful landscapes that can be imagined.

Og: Deuteronomy 1:4, Deuteronomy 4:47, Deuteronomy 29:7, Deuteronomy 31:4, Numbers 21:33-35, Joshua 9:10, Joshua 12:4, Joshua 13:30, 1 Kings 4:19, Nehemiah 9:22, Psalms 135:10, Psalms 135:11, Psalms 136:20

Edrei: This town is placed by Eusebius about 25 miles northward from Bostri; and mentioned by Burckhardt under the name of Draa.

Reciprocal: Exodus 14:6 - people Numbers 32:33 - the kingdom Deuteronomy 2:12 - as Israel did Deuteronomy 4:38 - as Deuteronomy 29:16 - through the nations Joshua 2:10 - what ye did Joshua 22:4 - get Joshua 24:8 - General Judges 11:19 - General

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then we turned and went up the way to Bashan,.... Which seems to have been higher than the kingdom of Sihon: this was a fine country for pasturage, for the breeding of cattle, larger and lesser, and was famous for its oaks: it is the same country which in Josephus and others goes by the name of Batanea:

and Og the king of Bashan came out against us; got his forces together, and came out from Ashteroth, the royal city where he dwelt:

he and all his people, to battle at Edrei; another city in his kingdom, about six miles from the former; see Deuteronomy 1:4.
