Joshua 10
New International Version (1984) Help
10Now Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai and totally destroyed it, doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and that the people of Gibeon had made a treaty of peace with Israel and were living near them.H139H4428H3389H8085H3588H3091H3920H5857H2763H6213H3405H4428H6213H5857H4428H3427H1391H7999H3478H7130
2He and his people were very much alarmed at this, because Gibeon was an important city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were good fighters.H3372H3966H1391H1419H5892H259H4467H5892H1419H5857H582H1368
3So Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem appealed to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish and Debir king of Eglon.H139H4428H3389H7971H1944H4428H2275H6502H4428H3412H3309H4428H3923H1688H4428H5700H559
4"Come up and help me attack Gibeon," he said, "because it has made peace with Joshua and the Israelites."H5927H5826H5221H1391H7999H3091H1121H3478
5Then the five kings of the Amorites--the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon--joined forces. They moved up with all their troops and took up positions against Gibeon and attacked it.H2568H4428H567H4428H3389H4428H2275H4428H3412H4428H3923H4428H5700H622H5927H4264H2583H1391H3898
6The Gibeonites then sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: "Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because all the Amorite kings from the hill country have joined forces against us."H582H1391H7971H3091H4264H1537H559H7503H3027H5650H5927H4120H3467H5826H4428H567H3427H2022H6908
7So Joshua marched up from Gilgal with his entire army, including all the best fighting men.H3091H5927H1537H5971H4421H1368H2428
8The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you."H3068H559H3091H3372H5414H3027H376H5975H6440
9After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua took them by surprise.H3091H935H6597H5927H1537H3915
10The LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great victory at Gibeon. Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon and cut them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah.H3068H2000H6440H3478H5221H1419H4347H1391H7291H1870H4608H1032H5221H5825H4719
11As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the LORD hurled large hailstones down on them from the sky, and more of them died from the hailstones than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.H5127H6440H3478H4174H1032H3068H7993H1419H68H8064H5825H4191H7227H4191H1259H68H834H1121H3478H2026H2719
12On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel: "O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon."H1696H3091H3068H3117H3068H5414H567H6440H1121H3478H559H5869H3478H8121H1826H1391H3394H6010H357
13So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.H8121H1826H3394H5975H1471H5358H341H1931H3789H5612H3477H8121H5975H2677H8064H213H935H8549H3117
14There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the LORD listened to a man. Surely the LORD was fighting for Israel!H3117H6440H310H3068H8085H6963H376H3068H3898H3478
15Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.H3091H7725H3478H4264H1537
16Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.H2568H4428H5127H2244H4631H4719
17When Joshua was told that the five kings had been found hiding in the cave at Makkedah,H5046H3091H559H2568H4428H4672H2244H4631H4719
18he said, "Roll large rocks up to the mouth of the cave, and post some men there to guard it.H3091H559H1556H1419H68H6310H4631H6485H582H8104
19But don't stop! Pursue your enemies, attack them from the rear and don't let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has given them into your hand."H5975H7291H310H341H2179H5414H935H5892H3068H430H5414H3027
20So Joshua and the Israelites destroyed them completely--almost to a man--but the few who were left reached their fortified cities.H3091H1121H3478H3615H5221H3966H1419H4347H8552H8300H8277H935H4013H5892
21The whole army then returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one uttered a word against the Israelites.H5971H7725H4264H3091H4719H7965H2782H3956H376H1121H3478
22Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me."H559H3091H6605H6310H4631H3318H2568H4428H4631
23So they brought the five kings out of the cave--the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon.H6213H3318H2568H4428H4631H4428H3389H4428H2275H4428H3412H4428H3923H4428H5700
24When they had brought these kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had come with him, "Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings." So they came forward and placed their feet on their necks.H3318H4428H3091H3091H7121H376H3478H559H7101H582H4421H1980H7126H7760H7272H6677H4428H7126H7760H7272H6677
25Joshua said to them, "Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be strong and courageous. This is what the LORD will do to all the enemies you are going to fight."H3091H559H3372H2865H2388H553H3068H6213H341H3898
26Then Joshua struck and killed the kings and hung them on five trees, and they were left hanging on the trees until evening.H310H3091H5221H4191H8518H2568H6086H8518H6086H6153
27At sunset Joshua gave the order and they took them down from the trees and threw them into the cave where they had been hiding. At the mouth of the cave they placed large rocks, which are there to this day.H6256H935H8121H3091H6680H3381H6086H7993H4631H2244H7760H1419H68H4631H6310H6106H3117
28That day Joshua took Makkedah. He put the city and its king to the sword and totally destroyed everyone in it. He left no survivors. And he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.H3117H3091H3920H4719H5221H6310H2719H4428H2763H5315H7604H8300H6213H4428H4719H6213H4428H3405
29Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and attacked it.H3091H5674H4719H3478H3841H3898H3841
30The LORD also gave that city and its king into Israel's hand. The city and everyone in it Joshua put to the sword. He left no survivors there. And he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.H3068H5414H4428H3027H3478H5221H6310H2719H5315H7604H8300H6213H4428H6213H4428H3405
31Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish; he took up positions against it and attacked it.H3091H5674H3841H3478H3923H2583H3898
32The LORD handed Lachish over to Israel, and Joshua took it on the second day. The city and everyone in it he put to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.H3068H5414H3923H3027H3478H3920H8145H3117H5221H6310H2719H5315H6213H3841
33Meanwhile, Horam king of Gezer had come up to help Lachish, but Joshua defeated him and his army--until no survivors were left.H2036H4428H1507H5927H5826H3923H3091H5221H5971H7604H8300
34Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Lachish to Eglon; they took up positions against it and attacked it.H3923H3091H5674H5700H3478H2583H3898
35They captured it that same day and put it to the sword and totally destroyed everyone in it, just as they had done to Lachish.H3920H3117H5221H6310H2719H5315H2763H3117H6213H3923
36Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and attacked it.H3091H5927H5700H3478H2275H3898
37They took the city and put it to the sword, together with its king, its villages and everyone in it. They left no survivors. Just as at Eglon, they totally destroyed it and everyone in it.H3920H5221H6310H2719H4428H5892H5315H7604H8300H6213H5700H2763H5315
38Then Joshua and all Israel with him turned around and attacked Debir.H3091H7725H3478H1688H3898
39They took the city, its king and its villages, and put them to the sword. Everyone in it they totally destroyed. They left no survivors. They did to Debir and its king as they had done to Libnah and its king and to Hebron.H3920H4428H5892H5221H6310H2719H2763H5315H7604H8300H6213H2275H6213H1688H4428H6213H3841H4428
40So Joshua subdued the whole region, including the hill country, the Negev, the western foothills and the mountain slopes, together with all their kings. He left no survivors. He totally destroyed all who breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.H3091H5221H776H2022H5045H8219H794H4428H7604H8300H2763H5397H3068H430H3478H6680
41Joshua subdued them from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza and from the whole region of Goshen to Gibeon.H3091H5221H6947H5804H776H1657H1391
42All these kings and their lands Joshua conquered in one campaign, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.H4428H776H3091H3920H259H6471H3068H430H3478H3898H3478
43Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.H3091H7725H3478H4264H1537
