Joshua:10:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now it came to pass ,
when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai ,
and had utterly destroyed it ;
as he had done to Jericho and her king ,
so he had done to Ai and her king ;
and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel ,
and were among them ;
*
That they feared greatly ,
because Gibeon was a great city ,
as one of the royal cities ,
and because it was greater than Ai ,
and all the men thereof were mighty .
*
Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron ,
and unto Piram king of Jarmuth ,
and unto Japhia king of Lachish ,
and unto Debir king of Eglon ,
saying ,
*
Come up unto me ,
and help me ,
that we may smite Gibeon :
for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel .
*
Therefore the five kings of the Amorites ,
the king of Jerusalem ,
the king of Hebron ,
the king of Jarmuth ,
the king of Lachish ,
the king of Eglon ,
gathered themselves together ,
and went up ,
they and all their hosts ,
and encamped before Gibeon ,
and made war against it .
*
And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal ,
saying ,
Slack not thy hand from thy servants ;
come up to us quickly ,
and save us ,
and help us :
for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us .
*
So Joshua ascended from Gilgal ,
he ,
and all the people of war with him ,
and all the mighty men of valour .
*
And the LORD said unto Joshua ,
Fear them not :
for I have delivered them into thine hand ;
there shall not a man of them stand before thee .
