Og
The Amorite king of Bashan who was defeated by the Israelites under Moses at the Battle of Edrei.
Og was the giant king of Bashan, known for his immense stature and his iron bedstead. He led his people against the Israelites but was defeated by Moses, marking a significant victory that secured territory for the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. His defeat is frequently cited in the Psalms as a testament to God's sovereign power and faithfulness to Israel.
