The Danger of Ignoring Warnings
Matthew Henry's commentary highlights a powerful spiritual lesson from this verse. King Og witnessed the total defeat of his neighbor, King Sihon, yet he did not seek peace or learn from it. Instead, he proudly trusted in his own strength. This serves as a warning that those who are not awakened by God's judgments on others may be hardening themselves for a similar fate.
