35 So they struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army, leaving them no survivors. And they took possession of his land.
35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
35 So they defeated him and his sons and all his people, until he had no survivor left. And they possessed his land.
35 So they attacked him, his sons, and all the people - there was not a single survivor. Israel took the land.
35 So they defeated him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land.
35 And Israel killed King Og, his sons, and all his subjects; not a single survivor remained. Then Israel occupied their land.

Commentary on Numbers 21:21-35
(Read Numbers 21:21-35)
Sihon went with his forces against Israel, out of his own borders, without provocation, and so ran upon his own ruin. The enemies of God's church often perish by the counsels they think most wisely taken. Og, king of Bashan, instead of being warned by the fate of his neighbours, to make peace with Israel, makes war with them, which proves in like manner his destruction. Wicked men do their utmost to secure themselves and their possessions against the judgments of God; but all in vain, when the day comes on which they must fall. God gave Israel success, while Moses was with them, that he might see the beginning of the glorious work, though he must not live to see it finished. This was, in comparison, but as the day of small things, yet it was an earnest of great things. We must prepare for fresh conflicts and enemies. We must make no peace or truce with the powers of darkness, nor even treat with them; nor should we expect any pause in our contest. But, trusting in God, and obeying his commands, we shall be more than conquerors over every enemy.
