This site's exposition
And they possessed his land
on Deuteronomy 4:47-49
These verses record the first land Israel actually holds, the kingdoms of Sihon and Og taken in chapters 2 and 3. Og is the king 3:11 singles out as remaining of the remnant of giants, with a bedstead of iron nine cubits long by the cubit of a man. Verse 48 gives Hermon the name Sion, a different word from the Zion of Jerusalem, and 3:9 records that the Sidonians and the Amorites each had another name again for the same mountain.
