Five Kings Attack Gibeon

10Now it came about when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai, and had utterly destroyed it (just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were within their land,H139H4428H3389H8085H3588H3091H3920H5857H2763H6213H3405H4428H6213H5857H4428H3427H1391H7999H3478H7130 2that he feared greatly, because Gibeon [was] a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men [were] mighty.H3372H3966H1391H1419H5892H259H4467H5892H1419H5857H582H1368 3Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent [word] to Hoham king of Hebron and to Piram king of Jarmuth and to Japhia king of Lachish and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,H139H4428H3389H7971H1944H4428H2275H6502H4428H3412H3309H4428H3923H1688H4428H5700H559 4"Come up to me and help me, and let us attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the sons of Israel."H5927H5826H5221H1391H7999H3091H1121H3478 5So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon, gathered together and went up, they with all their armies, and camped by Gibeon and fought against it.H2568H4428H567H4428H3389H4428H2275H4428H3412H4428H3923H4428H5700H622H5927H4264H2583H1391H3898 6Then the men of Gibeon sent [word] to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, "Do not abandon your servants; come up to us quickly and save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites that live in the hill country have assembled against us."H582H1391H7971H3091H4264H1537H559H7503H3027H5650H5927H4120H3467H5826H4428H567H3427H2022H6908 7So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him and all the valiant warriors.H3091H5927H1537H5971H4421H1368H2428 8And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands; not one of them shall stand before you."H3068H559H3091H3372H5414H3027H376H5975H6440 9So Joshua came upon them suddenly by marching all night from Gilgal.H3091H935H6597H5927H1537H3915 10And the LORD confounded them before Israel, and He slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.H3068H2000H6440H3478H5221H1419H4347H1391H7291H1870H4608H1032H5221H5825H4719 11And it came about as they fled from before Israel, [while] they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that the LORD threw large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died; [there were] more who died from the hailstones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword.H5127H6440H3478H4174H1032H3068H7993H1419H68H8064H5825H4191H7227H4191H1259H68H834H1121H3478H2026H2719 12Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, "O sun, stand still at Gibeon, And O moon in the valley of Aijalon."H1696H3091H3068H3117H3068H5414H567H6440H1121H3478H559H5869H3478H8121H1826H1391H3394H6010H357 13So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies. Is it not written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky, and did not hasten to go [down] for about a whole day.H8121H1826H3394H5975H1471H5358H341H1931H3789H5612H3477H8121H5975H2677H8064H213H935H8549H3117 14And there was no day like that before it or after it, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.H3117H6440H310H3068H8085H6963H376H3068H3898H3478 15Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp to Gilgal.H3091H7725H3478H4264H1537

Victory at Makkedah

16Now these five kings had fled and hidden themselves in the cave at Makkedah.H2568H4428H5127H2244H4631H4719 17And it was told Joshua, saying, "The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah."H5046H3091H559H2568H4428H4672H2244H4631H4719 18And Joshua said, "Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and assign men by it to guard them,H3091H559H1556H1419H68H6310H4631H6485H582H8104 19but do not stay [there] yourselves; pursue your enemies and attack them in the rear. Do not allow them to enter their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand. "H5975H7291H310H341H2179H5414H935H5892H3068H430H5414H3027 20And it came about when Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter, until they were destroyed, and the survivors [who] remained of them had entered the fortified cities,H3091H1121H3478H3615H5221H3966H1419H4347H8552H8300H8277H935H4013H5892 21that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. No one uttered a word against any of the sons of Israel.H5971H7725H4264H3091H4719H7965H2782H3956H376H1121H3478 22Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave and bring these five kings out to me from the cave."H559H3091H6605H6310H4631H3318H2568H4428H4631 23And they did so, and brought these five kings out to him from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon.H6213H3318H2568H4428H4631H4428H3389H4428H2275H4428H3412H4428H3923H4428H5700 24And it came about when they brought these kings out to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." So they came near and put their feet on their necks.H3318H4428H3091H3091H7121H376H3478H559H7101H582H4421H1980H7126H7760H7272H6677H4428H7126H7760H7272H6677 25Joshua then said to them, "Do not fear or be dismayed! Be strong and courageous, for thus the LORD will do to all your enemies with whom you fight."H3091H559H3372H2865H2388H553H3068H6213H341H3898 26So afterward Joshua struck them and put them to death, and he hanged them on five trees; and they hung on the trees until evening.H310H3091H5221H4191H8518H2568H6086H8518H6086H6153 27And it came about at sunset that Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees and threw them into the cave where they had hidden themselves, and put large stones over the mouth of the cave, to this very day.H6256H935H8121H3091H6680H3381H6086H7993H4631H2244H7760H1419H68H4631H6310H6106H3117 28Now Joshua captured Makkedah on that day, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed it and every person who was in it. He left no survivor. Thus he did to the king of Makkedah just as he had done to the king of Jericho.H3117H3091H3920H4719H5221H6310H2719H4428H2763H5315H7604H8300H6213H4428H4719H6213H4428H3405

Joshua’s Conquest of Southern Palestine

29Then Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Makkedah to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.H3091H5674H4719H3478H3841H3898H3841 30And the LORD gave it also with its king into the hands of Israel, and he struck it and every person who [was] in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor in it. Thus he did to its king just as he had done to the king of Jericho.H3068H5414H4428H3027H3478H5221H6310H2719H5315H7604H8300H6213H4428H6213H4428H3405 31And Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Libnah to Lachish, and they camped by it and fought against it.H3091H5674H3841H3478H3923H2583H3898 32And the LORD gave Lachish into the hands of Israel; and he captured it on the second day, and struck it and every person who [was] in it with the edge of the sword, according to all that he had done to Libnah.H3068H5414H3923H3027H3478H3920H8145H3117H5221H6310H2719H5315H6213H3841 33Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish, and Joshua defeated him and his people until he had left him no survivor.H2036H4428H1507H5927H5826H3923H3091H5221H5971H7604H8300 34And Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Lachish to Eglon, and they camped by it and fought against it.H3923H3091H5674H5700H3478H2583H3898 35And they captured it on that day and struck it with the edge of the sword; and he utterly destroyed that day every person who [was] in it, according to all that he had done to Lachish.H3920H3117H5221H6310H2719H5315H2763H3117H6213H3923 36Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and they fought against it.H3091H5927H5700H3478H2275H3898 37And they captured it and struck it and its king and all its cities and all the persons who [were] in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor, according to all that he had done to Eglon. And he utterly destroyed it and every person who [was] in it.H3920H5221H6310H2719H4428H5892H5315H7604H8300H6213H5700H2763H5315 38Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to Debir, and they fought against it.H3091H7725H3478H1688H3898 39And he captured it and its king and all its cities, and they struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed every person [ who was] in it. He left no survivor. Just as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king, as he had also done to Libnah and its king.H3920H4428H5892H5221H6310H2719H2763H5315H7604H8300H6213H2275H6213H1688H4428H6213H3841H4428 40Thus Joshua struck all the land, the hill country and the Negev and the lowland and the slopes and all their kings. He left no survivor, but he utterly destroyed all who breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.H3091H5221H776H2022H5045H8219H794H4428H7604H8300H2763H5397H3068H430H3478H6680 41And Joshua struck them from Kadesh-barnea even as far as Gaza, and all the country of Goshen even as far as Gibeon.H3091H5221H6947H5804H776H1657H1391 42And Joshua captured all these kings and their lands at one time, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.H4428H776H3091H3920H259H6471H3068H430H3478H3898H3478 43So Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp at Gilgal.H3091H7725H3478H4264H1537
