Deuteronomy 3:11 [1] If this refers to Og's actual bed frame (the same Hebrew word can mean "coffin"), it may have been displayed in Rabbah as an Ammonite trophy of war. Its size is impressive, though not an accurate way to determine Og's height since any important man might have an unusually large bed as a symbol of his power or wealth. Concerning the name of the city, Ptolemy II Philadelphus of Egypt (309-246 B.C.) changed the name of Rabbah to Philadelphia during his reign (283-246 B.C.). Today Amman, capital city of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is located in the area of this ancient site.
