Key Reflection

In the context of Psalms 135:12, the psalmist lists Sihon king of the Amorites and Og king of Bashan alongside all the kingdoms of Canaan, emphasizing the complete conquest of these regions by Israel under God's guidance. To the original audience, this would have underscored the comprehensive nature of God’s deliverance and the total defeat of Israel’s enemies, validating their understanding that God had fulfilled His promises made to Abraham regarding the land of Canaan.
