Jair renamed this region after himself, calling it the Towns of Jair, as it is still known today.)I gave Gilead to the clan of Makir.But I also gave part of Gilead to the tribes of Reuben and Gad. The area I gave them extended from the middle of the Arnon Gorge in the south to the Jabbok River on the Ammonite frontier.They also received the Jordan Valley, all the way from the Sea of Galilee down to the Dead Sea, with the Jordan River serving as the western boundary. To the east were the slopes of Pisgah.

“ Next we turned and headed for the land of Bashan, where King Og and his entire army attacked us at Edrei.But the Lord told me,‘ Do not be afraid of him, for I have given you victory over Og and his entire army, and I will give you all his land. Treat him just as you treated King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon.’“ So the Lord our God handed King Og and all his people over to us, and we killed them all. Not a single person survived.We conquered all sixty of his towns— the entire Argob region in his kingdom of Bashan. Not a single town escaped our conquest.These towns were all fortified with high walls and barred gates. We also took many unwalled villages at the same time.We completely destroyed the kingdom of Bashan, just as we had destroyed King Sihon of Heshbon. We destroyed all the people in every town we conquered— men, women, and children alike.But we kept all the livestock for ourselves and took plunder from all the towns.“ So we took the land of the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River— all the way from the Arnon Gorge to Mount Hermon.

Begin now to conquer and occupy his land.’“ Then King Sihon declared war on us and mobilized his forces at Jahaz.But the Lord our God handed him over to us, and we crushed him, his sons, and all his people.

Numbers 21:23-35
But King Sihon refused to let them cross his territory. Instead, he mobilized his entire army and attacked Israel in the wilderness, engaging them in battle at Jahaz.But the Israelites slaughtered them with their swords and occupied their land from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River. They went only as far as the Ammonite border because the boundary of the Ammonites was fortified.So Israel captured all the towns of the Amorites and settled in them, including the city of Heshbon and its surrounding villages.Heshbon had been the capital of King Sihon of the Amorites. He had defeated a former Moabite king and seized all his land as far as the Arnon River.Therefore, the ancient poets wrote this about him:“ Come to Heshbon and let it be rebuilt! Let the city of Sihon be restored.A fire flamed forth from Heshbon, a blaze from the city of Sihon. It burned the city of Ar in Moab; it destroyed the rulers of the Arnon heights.What sorrow awaits you, O people of Moab! You are finished, O worshipers of Chemosh! Chemosh has left his sons as refugees, his daughters as captives of Sihon, the Amorite king.We have utterly destroyed them, from Heshbon to Dibon. We have completely wiped them out as far away as Nophah and Medeba.”So the people of Israel occupied the territory of the Amorites.After Moses sent men to explore the Jazer area, they captured all the towns in the region and drove out the Amorites who lived there.Then they turned and marched up the road to Bashan, but King Og of Bashan and all his people attacked them at Edrei.The Lord said to Moses,“ Do not be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you, along with all his people and his land. Do the same to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon.”And Israel killed King Og, his sons, and all his subjects; not a single survivor remained. Then Israel occupied their land.

Numbers 34:14

-
Joshua 13:8-14
Half the tribe of Manasseh and the tribes of Reuben and Gad had already received their grants of land on the east side of the Jordan, for Moses, the servant of the Lord, had previously assigned this land to them.Their territory extended from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Gorge( including the town in the middle of the gorge) to the plain beyond Medeba, as far as Dibon.It also included all the towns of King Sihon of the Amorites, who had reigned in Heshbon, and extended as far as the borders of Ammon.It included Gilead, the territory of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah, all of Mount Hermon, all of Bashan as far as Salecah,and all the territory of King Og of Bashan, who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei. King Og was the last of the Rephaites, for Moses had attacked them and driven them out.But the Israelites failed to drive out the people of Geshur and Maacah, so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.Moses did not assign any allotment of land to the tribe of Levi. Instead, as the Lord had promised them, their allotment came from the offerings burned on the altar to the Lord, the God of Israel.
