Exegesis
The relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁר־ | ’ă-šer} ‘who’ introduces a defining clause with malakh {מָלַ֥ךְ | mā-laḵ} ‘he reigned,’ modified by the dual place names beAshtarot {בְּעַשְׁתָּר֖וֹת | bə-’aš-tā-rōṯ} and uveEdrei {וּבְאֶדְרֶ֑עִי | ū-ḇə-’eḏ-rē-yi}.
In context — Joshua 13:12
All the kingdom of Og in the Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei—he was left from the remnant of the Rephaim ; Moses struck them down and dispossessed them.
