Joshua 10
10WHEN ADONI-ZEDEK king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai and had utterly destroyed it, doing to Jericho and its king as he had done to Ai and its king, and how the residents of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them,H139H4428H3389H8085H3588H3091H3920H5857H2763H6213H3405H4428H6213H5857H4428H3427H1391H7999H3478H71302He 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.H3372H3966H1391H1419H5892H259H4467H5892H1419H5857H582H13683So Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,H139H4428H3389H7971H1944H4428H2275H6502H4428H3412H3309H4428H3923H1688H4428H5700H5594Come up to me and help me, and let us smite Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the Israelites.H5927H5826H5221H1391H7999H3091H1121H34785Then the five kings of the Amorites--the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon--gathered their forces and went up with all their armies and encamped before Gibeon to fight against it.H2568H4428H567H4428H3389H4428H2275H4428H3412H4428H3923H4428H5700H622H5927H4264H2583H1391H38986And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, Do not relax your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly and save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the hill country are gathered against us.H582H1391H7971H3091H4264H1537H559H7503H3027H5650H5927H4120H3467H5826H4428H567H3427H2022H69087So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the warriors with him and all the mighty men of valor.H3091H5927H1537H5971H4421H1368H24288And the Lord said to Joshua, Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hand; there shall not a man of them stand before you.H3068H559H3091H3372H5414H3027H376H5975H64409So Joshua came upon them suddenly, having gone up from Gilgal all night.H3091H935H6597H5927H1537H391510And the Lord caused [the enemies] to panic before Israel, who slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon and chased them along the way that goes up to Beth-horon and smote them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.H3068H2000H6440H3478H5221H1419H4347H1391H7291H1870H4608H1032H5221H5825H471911As they fled before Israel, while they were descending [the pass] to Beth-horon, the Lord cast great stones from the heavens on them as far as Azekah, killing them. More died because of the hailstones than the Israelites slew with the sword.H5127H6440H3478H4174H1032H3068H7993H1419H68H8064H5825H4191H7227H4191H1259H68H834H1121H3478H2026H271912Then Joshua spoke to the Lord on the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, be silent {and} stand still at Gibeon, and you, moon, in the Valley of Ajalon!H1696H3091H3068H3117H3068H5414H567H6440H1121H3478H559H5869H3478H8121H1826H1391H3394H6010H35713And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance upon their enemies. Is not this written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.H8121H1826H3394H5975H1471H5358H341H1931H3789H5612H3477H8121H5975H2677H8064H213H935H8549H311714There was no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man. For the Lord fought for Israel.H3117H6440H310H3068H8085H6963H376H3068H3898H347815Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.H3091H7725H3478H4264H153716Those five kings fled and hid themselves in the cave of Makkedah.H2568H4428H5127H2244H4631H471917And it was told Joshua, The five kings are hidden in the cave at Makkedah.H5046H3091H559H2568H4428H4672H2244H4631H471918Joshua said, Roll great stones to the cave's mouth, and set men to guard them.H3091H559H1556H1419H68H6310H4631H6485H582H810419But do not stay. Pursue your enemies and fall upon their rear; do not allow them to enter their cities, for the Lord your God has given them into your hand.H5975H7291H310H341H2179H5414H935H5892H3068H430H5414H302720When Joshua and the Israelites had ended slaying them until they were wiped out and the remnant remaining of them had entered into fortified cities,H3091H1121H3478H3615H5221H3966H1419H4347H8552H8300H8277H935H4013H589221All the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace; none moved his tongue against any of the Israelites.H5971H7725H4264H3091H4719H7965H2782H3956H376H1121H347822Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave and bring out those five kings to me from the cave.H559H3091H6605H6310H4631H3318H2568H4428H463123They brought the five kings out of the cave to him--the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.H6213H3318H2568H4428H4631H4428H3389H4428H2275H4428H3412H4428H3923H4428H570024When they brought out those kings to Joshua, [he] called for all the Israelites and told the commanders of the men of war who went with him, Come, put your feet on the necks of these kings. And they came and put their feet on the [kings'] necks.H3318H4428H3091H3091H7121H376H3478H559H7101H582H4421H1980H7126H7760H7272H6677H4428H7126H7760H7272H667725Joshua said to them, Fear not nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage. For thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom you fight.H3091H559H3372H2865H2388H553H3068H6213H341H389826Afterward Joshua smote and slew them and hanged their bodies on five trees, and they hung on the trees until evening.H310H3091H5221H4191H8518H2568H6086H8518H6086H615327At sunset Joshua ordered and they took the bodies down from the trees and cast them into the cave where the kings had hidden and laid great stones on the cave's mouth, which remain to this very day.H6256H935H8121H3091H6680H3381H6086H7993H4631H2244H7760H1419H68H4631H6310H6106H311728Joshua took Makkedah that day and smote it and its king with the sword and utterly destroyed everyone in it. He left none remaining. And he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.H3117H3091H3920H4719H5221H6310H2719H4428H2763H5315H7604H8300H6213H4428H4719H6213H4428H340529Then Joshua and all Israel went from Makkedah to Libnah and attacked Libnah.H3091H5674H4719H3478H3841H3898H384130And the Lord gave it also and its king into Israel's hands, and Joshua smote it with the sword, and all the people in it. He left none remaining in it. And he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.H3068H5414H4428H3027H3478H5221H6310H2719H5315H7604H8300H6213H4428H6213H4428H340531And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish and encamped against it and attacked it.H3091H5674H3841H3478H3923H2583H389832And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hands of Israel, and Joshua took it on the second day and smote it with the sword, and all the people in it, as he had done to Libnah.H3068H5414H3923H3027H3478H3920H8145H3117H5221H6310H2719H5315H6213H384133Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish, and Joshua smote him and his people--until he had left none remaining.H2036H4428H1507H5927H5826H3923H3091H5221H5971H7604H830034From Lachish Joshua and all Israel went on to Eglon, laid siege to it, and attacked it.H3923H3091H5674H5700H3478H2583H389835And they took it that day and smote it with the sword and utterly destroyed all who were in it that day, as he had done to Lachish.H3920H3117H5221H6310H2719H5315H2763H3117H6213H392336Then Joshua with all Israel went up from Eglon to Hebron, and they attacked itH3091H5927H5700H3478H2275H389837And took it and smote it with the sword, and its king and all its towns and everyone in it. He left none remaining, as he had done to Eglon, and utterly destroyed it and all its people.H3920H5221H6310H2719H4428H5892H5315H7604H8300H6213H5700H2763H531538And Joshua and all Israel with him returned to Debir and attacked it.H3091H7725H3478H1688H389839And he took it, with its king and all its towns, and they smote them with the sword and utterly destroyed everyone in it. He left none remaining. As he had done to Hebron and to Libnah and its king, so he did to Debir and its king.H3920H4428H5892H5221H6310H2719H2763H5315H7604H8300H6213H2275H6213H1688H4428H6213H3841H442840So Joshua smote all the land, the hill country, the South, the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings. He left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord, the God of Israel, commanded.H3091H5221H776H2022H5045H8219H794H4428H7604H8300H2763H5397H3068H430H3478H668041And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen even to Gibeon.H3091H5221H6947H5804H776H1657H139142Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.H4428H776H3091H3920H259H6471H3068H430H3478H3898H347843And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.H3091H7725H3478H4264H1537
