1 # Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek <0139> king <04428> of Jerusalem <03389> had heard <08085> (8800) how <03588> Joshua <03091> had taken <03920> (8804) Ai <05857>, and had utterly destroyed <02763> (8686) it; as he had done <06213> (8804) to Jericho <03405> and her king <04428>, so he had done <06213> (8804) to Ai <05857> and her king <04428>; and how the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Gibeon <01391> had made peace <07999> (8689) with Israel <03478> , and were among <07130> them;
2 That they feared <03372> (8799) greatly <03966>, because Gibeon <01391> was a great <01419> city <05892>, as one <0259> of the royal <04467> cities <05892>, and because it was greater <01419> than Ai <05857>, and all the men <0582> thereof were mighty <01368>.
3 Wherefore Adonizedek <0139> king <04428> of Jerusalem <03389> sent <07971> (8799) unto Hoham <01944> king <04428> of Hebron <02275>, and unto Piram <06502> king <04428> of Jarmuth <03412>, and unto Japhia <03309> king <04428> of Lachish <03923>, and unto Debir <01688> king <04428> of Eglon <05700>, saying <0559> (8800),
4 Come up <05927> (8798) unto me, and help <05826> (8798) me, that we may smite <05221> (8686) Gibeon <01391>: for it hath made peace <07999> (8689) with Joshua <03091> and with the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
5 Therefore the five <02568> kings <04428> of the Amorites <0567>, the king <04428> of Jerusalem <03389>, the king <04428> of Hebron <02275>, the king <04428> of Jarmuth <03412>, the king <04428> of Lachish <03923>, the king <04428> of Eglon <05700>, gathered themselves together <0622> (8735), and went up <05927> (8799), they and all their hosts <04264> , and encamped <02583> (8799) before Gibeon <01391>, and made war <03898> (8735) against it.
6 And the men <0582> of Gibeon <01391> sent <07971> (8799) unto Joshua <03091> to the camp <04264> to Gilgal <01537>, saying <0559> (8800), Slack <07503> (8686) not thy hand <03027> from thy servants <05650>; come up <05927> (8798) to us quickly <04120>, and save <03467> (8685) us, and help <05826> (8798) us: for all the kings <04428> of the Amorites <0567> that dwell <03427> (8802) in the mountains <02022> are gathered together <06908> (8738) against us.
7 # So Joshua <03091> ascended <05927> (8799) from Gilgal <01537>, he, and all the people <05971> of war <04421> with him, and all the mighty <01368> men of valour <02428>.
8 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Joshua <03091>, Fear <03372> (8799) them not: for I have delivered <05414> (8804) them into thine hand <03027>; there shall not a man <0376> of them stand <05975> (8799) before <06440> thee.
9 Joshua <03091> therefore came <0935> (8799) unto them suddenly <06597>, and went up <05927> (8804) from Gilgal <01537> all night <03915>.
10 And the LORD <03068> discomfited <02000> (8799) them before <06440> Israel <03478>, and slew <05221> (8686) them with a great <01419> slaughter <04347> at Gibeon <01391>, and chased <07291> (8799) them along the way <01870> that goeth up <04608> to Bethhoron <01032>, and smote <05221> (8686) them to Azekah <05825>, and unto Makkedah <04719> .
11 And it came to pass, as they fled <05127> (8800) from before <06440> Israel <03478>, and were in the going down <04174> to Bethhoron <01032>, that the LORD <03068> cast down <07993> (8689) great <01419> stones <068> from heaven <08064> upon them unto Azekah <05825>, and they died <04191> (8799): they were more <07227> which died <04191> (8804) with hailstones <01259> <068> than they whom <0834> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> slew <02026> (8804) with the sword <02719>.
12 Then spake <01696> (8762) Joshua <03091> to the LORD <03068> in the day <03117> when the LORD <03068> delivered up <05414> (8800) the Amorites <0567> before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and he said <0559> (8799) in the sight <05869> of Israel <03478>, Sun <08121>, stand thou still <01826> (8798) upon Gibeon <01391> ; and thou, Moon <03394>, in the valley <06010> of Ajalon <0357>.
13 And the sun <08121> stood still <01826> (8799), and the moon <03394> stayed <05975> (8804), until the people <01471> had avenged <05358> (8799) themselves upon their enemies <0341> (8802). Is not this <01931> written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of Jasher <03477>? So the sun <08121> stood still <05975> (8799) in the midst <02677> of heaven <08064>, and hasted <0213> (8804) not to go down <0935> (8800) about a whole <08549> day <03117>.
14 And there was no day <03117> like that before <06440> it or after <0310> it, that the LORD <03068> hearkened <08085> (8800) unto the voice <06963> of a man <0376>: for the LORD <03068> fought <03898> (8737) for Israel <03478> .
15 # And Joshua <03091> returned <07725> (8799), and all Israel <03478> with him, unto the camp <04264> to Gilgal <01537>.
16 But these five <02568> kings <04428> fled <05127> (8799), and hid <02244> (8735) themselves in a cave <04631> at Makkedah <04719>.
17 And it was told <05046> (8714) Joshua <03091>, saying <0559> (8800), The five <02568> kings <04428> are found <04672> (8738) hid <02244> (8737) in a cave <04631> at Makkedah <04719>.
18 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> (8799), Roll <01556> (8798) great <01419> stones <068> upon the mouth <06310> of the cave <04631>, and set <06485> (8685) men <0582> by it for to keep <08104> (8800) them:
19 And stay <05975> (8799) ye not, but pursue <07291> (8798) after <0310> your enemies <0341> (8802), and smite the hindmost <02179> (8765) of them; suffer <05414> (8799) them not to enter <0935> (8800) into their cities <05892>: for the LORD <03068> your God <0430> hath delivered <05414> (8804) them into your hand <03027>.
20 And it came to pass, when Joshua <03091> and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> had made an end <03615> (8763) of slaying <05221> (8687) them with a very <03966> great <01419> slaughter <04347>, till they were consumed <08552> (8800), that the rest <08300> which remained <08277> (8804) of them entered <0935> (8799) into fenced <04013> cities <05892>.
21 And all the people <05971> returned <07725> (8799) to the camp <04264> to Joshua <03091> at Makkedah <04719> in peace <07965>: none moved <02782> (8804) his tongue <03956> against any <0376> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
22 Then said <0559> (8799) Joshua <03091>, Open <06605> (8798) the mouth <06310> of the cave <04631>, and bring out <03318> (8685) those five <02568> kings <04428> unto me out of the cave <04631>.
23 And they did <06213> (8799) so, and brought forth <03318> (8686) those five <02568> kings <04428> unto him out of the cave <04631>, the king <04428> of Jerusalem <03389>, the king <04428> of Hebron <02275>, the king <04428> of Jarmuth <03412>, the king <04428> of Lachish <03923>, and the king <04428> of Eglon <05700>.
24 And it came to pass, when they brought out <03318> (8687) those kings <04428> unto Joshua <03091>, that Joshua <03091> called <07121> (8799) for all the men <0376> of Israel <03478>, and said <0559> (8799) unto the captains <07101> of the men <0582> of war <04421> which went <01980> (8804) with him, Come near <07126> (8798), put <07760> (8798) your feet <07272> upon the necks <06677> of these kings <04428>. And they came near <07126> (8799), and put <07760> (8799) their feet <07272> upon the necks <06677> of them.
25 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> (8799) unto them, Fear <03372> (8799) not, nor be dismayed <02865> (8735), be strong <02388> (8798) and of good courage <0553> (8798): for thus shall the LORD <03068> do <06213> (8799) to all your enemies <0341> (8802) against whom ye fight <03898> (8737).
26 And afterward <0310> Joshua <03091> smote <05221> (8686) them, and slew <04191> (8686) them, and hanged <08518> (8799) them on five <02568> trees <06086>: and they were hanging <08518> (8803) upon the trees <06086> until the evening <06153>.
27 And it came to pass at the time <06256> of the going down <0935> (8800) of the sun <08121>, that Joshua <03091> commanded <06680> (8765), and they took them down <03381> (8686) off the trees <06086>, and cast <07993> (8686) them into the cave <04631> wherein they had been hid <02244> (8738), and laid <07760> (8799) great <01419> stones <068> in the cave's <04631> mouth <06310>, which remain until this very <06106> day <03117>.
28 # And that day <03117> Joshua <03091> took <03920> (8804) Makkedah <04719>, and smote <05221> (8686) it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and the king <04428> thereof he utterly destroyed <02763> (8689), them, and all the souls <05315> that were therein; he let <07604> (8689) none remain <08300>: and he did <06213> (8799) to the king <04428> of Makkedah <04719> as he did <06213> (8804) unto the king <04428> of Jericho <03405>.
29 Then Joshua <03091> passed <05674> (8799) from Makkedah <04719>, and all Israel <03478> with him, unto Libnah <03841>, and fought <03898> (8735) against Libnah <03841>:
30 And the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> (8799) it also, and the king <04428> thereof, into the hand <03027> of Israel <03478>; and he smote <05221> (8686) it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and all the souls <05315> that were therein; he let <07604> (8689) none remain <08300> in it; but did <06213> (8799) unto the king <04428> thereof as he did <06213> (8804) unto the king <04428> of Jericho <03405>.
31 And Joshua <03091> passed <05674> (8799) from Libnah <03841>, and all Israel <03478> with him, unto Lachish <03923>, and encamped <02583> (8799) against it, and fought <03898> (8735) against it:
32 And the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> (8799) Lachish <03923> into the hand <03027> of Israel <03478> , which took <03920> (8799) it on the second <08145> day <03117>, and smote <05221> (8686) it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and all the souls <05315> that were therein, according to all that he had done <06213> (8804) to Libnah <03841> .
33 Then Horam <02036> king <04428> of Gezer <01507> came up <05927> (8804) to help <05826> (8800) Lachish <03923>; and Joshua <03091> smote <05221> (8686) him and his people <05971>, until he had left <07604> (8689) him none remaining <08300>.
34 And from Lachish <03923> Joshua <03091> passed <05674> (8799) unto Eglon <05700>, and all Israel <03478> with him; and they encamped <02583> (8799) against it, and fought <03898> (8735) against it:
35 And they took <03920> (8799) it on that day <03117>, and smote <05221> (8686) it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and all the souls <05315> that were therein he utterly destroyed <02763> (8689) that day <03117>, according to all that he had done <06213> (8804) to Lachish <03923>.
36 And Joshua <03091> went up <05927> (8799) from Eglon <05700>, and all Israel <03478> with him, unto Hebron <02275>; and they fought <03898> (8735) against it:
37 And they took <03920> (8799) it, and smote <05221> (8686) it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719> , and the king <04428> thereof, and all the cities <05892> thereof, and all the souls <05315> that were therein; he left <07604> (8689) none remaining <08300>, according to all that he had done <06213> (8804) to Eglon <05700>; but destroyed <02763> (8686) it utterly, and all the souls <05315> that were therein.
38 And Joshua <03091> returned <07725> (8799), and all Israel <03478> with him, to Debir <01688>; and fought <03898> (8735) against it:
39 And he took <03920> (8799) it, and the king <04428> thereof, and all the cities <05892> thereof; and they smote <05221> (8686) them with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and utterly destroyed <02763> (8686) all the souls <05315> that were therein; he left <07604> (8689) none remaining <08300>: as he had done <06213> (8804) to Hebron <02275>, so he did <06213> (8804) to Debir <01688>, and to the king <04428> thereof; as he had done <06213> (8804) also to Libnah <03841> , and to her king <04428>.
40 So Joshua <03091> smote <05221> (8686) all the country <0776> of the hills <02022>, and of the south <05045> , and of the vale <08219>, and of the springs <0794>, and all their kings <04428>: he left <07604> (8689) none remaining <08300>, but utterly destroyed <02763> (8689) all that breathed <05397>, as the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> commanded <06680> (8765).
41 And Joshua <03091> smote <05221> (8686) them from Kadeshbarnea <06947> even unto Gaza <05804>, and all the country <0776> of Goshen <01657>, even unto Gibeon <01391>.
42 And all these kings <04428> and their land <0776> did Joshua <03091> take <03920> (8804) at one <0259> time <06471>, because the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> fought <03898> (8737) for Israel <03478> .
43 And Joshua <03091> returned <07725> (8799), and all Israel <03478> with him, unto the camp <04264> to Gilgal <01537>.
