Discovery BoxDeuteronomy 3:3 
Context3:3 So the Lord our God did indeed give over to us King Og of Bashan and his whole army and we struck them down until not a single survivor was left. 1
Deuteronomy 3:10
Context3:10 all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead and Bashan as far as Salecah 2 and Edrei, 3 cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Deuteronomy 3:14
Context3:14 Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the Argob region as far as the border with the Geshurites 4 and Maacathites 5 (namely Bashan) and called it by his name, Havvoth-Jair, 6 which it retains to this very day.)
1 tn Heb “was left to him.” The final phrase “to him” is redundant in English and has been left untranslated.
2 sn Salecah. Today this is known as Salkhad, in Jordan, about 31 mi (50 km) east of the Jordan River in the Hauran Desert.
3 sn Edrei. See note on this term in 3:1.
4 sn Geshurites. Geshur was a city and its surrounding area somewhere northeast of Bashan (cf. Josh 12:5 ; 13:11, 13). One of David’s wives was Maacah, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur and mother of Absalom (cf. 2 Sam 13:37; 15:8; 1 Chr 3:2).
5 sn Maacathites. These were the people of a territory southwest of Mount Hermon on the Jordan River. The name probably has nothing to do with David’s wife from Geshur (see note on “Geshurites” earlier in this verse).
6 sn Havvoth-Jair. The Hebrew name means “villages of Jair,” the latter being named after a son (i.e., descendant) of Manasseh who took the area by conquest.
