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.

Commentary on Deuteronomy 3:11

Theological / Devotional

Giants. Literally, “Rephaim,” a very ancient people included among those defeated by Chedorlaomer and the kings associated with him (Gen. 14:5). They lived on both sides of the Jordan, and seem to have belonged to an earlier group of inhabitants of the region.

Bedstead. The word thus translated is also given as “couch” (Ps. 6:6; Amos 3:12 ; 6:4). It may refer also to a sarcophagus, or tomb.
