King Sihon of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, was defeated. His kingdom
included Aroer, on the edge of the Arnon Gorge, and extended from the middle of
the Arnon Gorge to the Jabbok River, which serves as a border for the Ammonites.
This territory included the southern half of the territory of Gilead. 3 Sihon also
controlled the Jordan Valley and regions to the east—from as far north as the Sea
of Galilee to as far south as the Dead Sea, including the road to Beth-jeshimoth
and southward to the slopes of Pisgah.
4 King Og of Bashan, the last of the Rephaites, lived at Ashtaroth and Edrei. 5 He
ruled a territory stretching from Mount Hermon to Salecah in the north and to
all of Bashan in the east, and westward to the borders of the kingdoms of Geshur
and Maacah. This territory included the northern half of Gilead, as far as the
boundary of King Sihon of Heshbon.
6 Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the Israelites had destroyed the people of
King Sihon and King Og.

And Moses gave their land
as a possession to the tribes
of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
