Deuteronomy3:11
11 For only Og King of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants : behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron: is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon ? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man .
The other giants of Bashan were destroyed before; and therefore when Og was killed, the Israelites work was done.
Where it might now be, either because the Ammonites in some former battel with Og had taken it as a spoil: or because after Ogs death, the Ammonites desired to have this monument of his greatness and the Israelites permitted them to carry it away▪ to their chief city.
To wit, of ordinary stature. So his bed was four yards and an half long, and two yards broad.
