Deuteronomy 3:9

7 But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as booty for ourselves.

8 “And at that time we took the ^aland from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were on this side of the Jordan, from the River Arnon to Mount ^bHermon

9 (the Sidonians call ^aHermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir),

10 ^aall the cities of the plain, all Gilead, and ^ball Bashan, as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

11 ^a“For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of ^bthe giants. Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. (Is it not in ^cRabbah of the people of Ammon?) Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width, according to the standard cubit.

Barnes' Notes

Deuteronomy 3:9

Hermon, the southern and culminating point of the range of Lebanon, was also the religious center of primaeval Syria. Its Baal sanctuaries not only existed but gave it a name before the Exodus. Hence, the careful specification of the various names by which the mountain was known. The Sidonian name of it might easily have become known to Moses through the constant traffic which had gone on from the most ancient times between Sidon and Egypt.
