3:6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, {c} women, and children, of every city.
(c) Because this was God's appointment, therefore it may not be judged cruel.
3:1-11 Og was very powerful, but he did not take warning by the ruin of Sihon, and desire conditions of peace. He trusted his own strength, and so was hardened to his destruction. Those not awakened by the judgments of God on others, ripen for the like judgments on themselves.br>
