2Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon. He ruled from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along the middle of the valley, up to the Jabbok River (the border of the Ammonites), that is, half of Gilead, 3as well as the Arabah east of the Sea of Chinnerethfootnote a to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Seafootnote b), eastward through Beth-jeshimoth, and southward below the slopes of Pisgah.
4And Og king of Bashan,footnote c one of the remnant of the Rephaim, who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei. 5He ruled over Mount Hermon, Salecah, all of Bashan up to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and half of Gilead to the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.

17the king of Tappuah, one;
the king of Hepher, one;
18the king of Aphek, one;
the king of Lasharon, one;
19the king of Madon, one;
the king of Hazor, one;
20the king of Shimron-meron, one;
the king of Achshaph, one;
21the king of Taanach, one;
