Context — The Defeat of Og
8At that time we took from the two kings of the Amorites the land across the Jordan, from the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Hermon—
9which the Sidonians call Sirion but the Amorites call Senir—
10all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead, and all of Bashan as far as the cities of Salecah and Edrei in the kingdom of Og.
11(For only Og king of Bashan had remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed of iron, nine cubits long and four cubits wide, is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites.) 12So at that time we took possession of this land. To the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the land beyond Aroer along the Arnon Valley, and half the hill country of Gilead, along with its cities.Cross References

Deuteronomy 3:10 Summary
Deuteronomy 3:10 describes the cities and regions that the Israelites conquered, including the plateau, Gilead, and Bashan, as far as the cities of Salecah and Edrei in the kingdom of Og. This verse shows how God fulfilled His promises to the Israelites, giving them victory over powerful enemies, as seen in Deuteronomy 3:1-12 and Numbers 21:33-35. Just like the Israelites, we can trust God to provide for us and give us victory over our challenges, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:37. By reflecting on this verse, we can deepen our understanding of God's power and faithfulness, as seen in Psalm 105:43-45 and Isaiah 41:10.

Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 3:10
All the cities of the plain,.... There was a plain by Medeba, and Heshbon and her cities were in a plain, with some others given to the tribe of Reuben, Joshua 13:16 and all Gilead; Mount Gilead, and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 3:10
All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 3:10
Gilead is sometimes taken largely for all the Israelites’ possessions beyond Jordan, and so it comprehends Bashan, but here more strictly for that part of it which lies in and near Mount Gilead, and so it is distinguished from Bashan and Argob.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 3:10

Cp. Joshua 12:5; Joshua 13:11. It would represent, therefore, the S.E. limit of ‘Τg’s kingdom, while Edre‘i lay near the W. end of the same frontier. Why have two sites on the S. of Bashan been selected to define a conquest already described as extending N. to Ḥ ?ermτn? We should expect: from Edre‘i even to Salekah, or to some site further N. The text is confirmed, however, by Sam. and LXX. Some therefore take Edre‘i here, not as the mod. Dera‘at (Deuteronomy 3:1) but as Edhra‘ or Zor‘a near the S.W. corner of the Lejα. This, however, helps little.
Barnes' Notes on Deuteronomy 3:10
Salchah - Compare Joshua 12:5; 1 Chronicles 5:11, where it is named as belonging to the tribe of Gad. It lies seven hours’ journey to the southeast of Bostra or Bozrah of Moab.
Whedon's Commentary on Deuteronomy 3:10
