rotherham@Joshua:1:1 @ And it came to pass, after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, that Yahweh spake unto Joshua son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, saying:

rotherham@Joshua:1:2 @ Moses my servant, is dead, Now, therefore, arise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, into the land which I am giving unto themunto the sons of Israel.

rotherham@Joshua:1:3 @ Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread, unto you, have I given it, as I spake unto Moses.

rotherham@Joshua:1:4 @ From the desert and this Lebanon, even unto the great riverthe river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea, toward the going in of the sun, shall be your boundary.

rotherham@Joshua:1:7 @ Only be very firm and bold, taking heed to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee, do not turn aside therefrom, to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper, whithersoever thou goest.

rotherham@Joshua:1:11 @ Pass ye through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying: Make ready for yourselves, provisions, for, in three days more, are ye to pass over this Jordan, to go in and possess the land which Yahweh your God is giving you, to possess.

rotherham@Joshua:1:14 @ Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses hath given you over the Jordan, but, ye, shall pass over, armed, before your brethren, all ye mighty men of valour, and shall help them;

rotherham@Joshua:1:15 @ until that Yahweh shall grant rest unto your brethren, as unto you, so shall, they also, possess the land which Yahweh your God giveth them, then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh hath given you over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun.

rotherham@Joshua:1:16 @ Then responded they to Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us, will we do, and, whithersoever thou shalt send us, will we go:

rotherham@Joshua:1:17 @ As in every thing we hearkened unto Moses, so, will we hearken unto thee, only let Yahweh thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

rotherham@Joshua:1:18 @ Any man who shall rebel against thy bidding, and not hearken unto thy words in all that thou shalt command him, shall be put to death, only be firm and bold.

rotherham@Joshua:2:1 @ Then did Joshua son of Nun, send out from The Acacias, two men to spy out silently, saying, Go view the land, and Jericho. So they came, and entered the house of a harlot, whose name was Rahab, and lay there.

rotherham@Joshua:2:2 @ And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Lo! men, have come in hither to-night of the sons of Israel to search out the land.

rotherham@Joshua:2:6 @ But, she, had taken them up to the roof, and concealed them with the stalks of flax which she had laid in order for herself upon the roof.

rotherham@Joshua:2:7 @ So, the men, pursued them by way of the Jordan unto the fords, the gate being shut as soon as they who pursued them had gone forth.

rotherham@Joshua:2:8 @ And, ere yet they slept, she, went up unto them, upon the roof;

rotherham@Joshua:2:9 @ and said unto the men, I know that Yahweh hath given unto you the land, and that the terror of you hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land, have melted away, from before you.

rotherham@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard how Yahweh, dried up, the waters of the Red Sea from before you, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan unto Sihon and unto Og, whom ye devoted to destruction;

rotherham@Joshua:2:11 @ and, when we heard, then did our heart melt, and there rose up no longer any spirit in any man because of you, for, as for Yahweh your God, he, is Godin the heavens above, and upon the earth beneath.

rotherham@Joshua:2:18 @ Lo! when we are coming into the land, this cord of crimson thread, must thou bind in the window by which thou didst let us down, and, thy father and thy mother and thy brethren and all the household of thy father, must thou gather together unto thee unto the house.

rotherham@Joshua:2:19 @ And it shall be, whosoever shall go forth out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood, shall be on his own head and, we, shall be free, but, whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood, shall be on our heads, if a, hand, be upon him.

rotherham@Joshua:2:21 @ And she said According to your words, so, shall it be. Thus sent she them away and they departed, and she bound the crimson cord in the window.

rotherham@Joshua:2:23 @ And the two men returned and came down out of the mountain, and crossed over and came unto Joshua, son of Nun, and recounted to him all that had befallen them;

rotherham@Joshua:3:1 @ So then Joshua rose early in the morning, and they brake up from The Acacias and came as far as the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, and they lodged there before they passed over.

rotherham@Joshua:3:5 @ Then said Joshua unto the people, Hallow yourselves, for, to-morrow, will Yahweh do in your midst, wonderful things.

rotherham@Joshua:3:6 @ And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take ye up the ark of the covenant, and pass on before the people. So they took up the ark of the covenant, and went on before the people.

rotherham@Joshua:3:9 @ Then said Joshua, unto the sons of Israel, Draw near hither, and hear ye the words of Yahweh your God.

rotherham@Joshua:3:12 @ Now, therefore, take you twelve men, out of the tribes of Israel, one man severally for each tribe;

rotherham@Joshua:3:13 @ and it shall be, when the soles of the feet of the priests who are bearing the ark of Yahweh, Lord of all the earth, do rest, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, shall be cut off, the waters that are coming down from above, and shall stand in one mound.

rotherham@Joshua:3:16 @ that the waters which were coming down from above, stoodrose up in one mound, a great way off, by the city Adam, which is beside Zarethan, and, they which were going down to the sea of the waste plain, the salt sea, failedwere cut off, and, the people, passed over, right against Jericho.

rotherham@Joshua:3:17 @ And the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, stood on dry ground, in the midst of the Jordan, with firm footing, while all Israel were passing over on dry ground, until all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan.

rotherham@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan, that Yahweh slake unto Joshua, saying:

rotherham@Joshua:4:2 @ Take unto you, from among the people, twelve men, one man severally from each tribe;

rotherham@Joshua:4:3 @ and command ye them, saying, Take you up from hence, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where stood the feet of the priests with firm footing, twelve stones; and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge, tonight.

rotherham@Joshua:4:4 @ So Joshua called unto the twelve men whom he had made ready, from among the sons of Israel, one man severally out of each tribe;

rotherham@Joshua:4:5 @ and Joshua said unto them: Pass ye over, before the ark of Yahweh your God, into the midst of the Jordan, and lift ye up, each man one stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel:

rotherham@Joshua:4:6 @ that this may be a sign in your midst, for your sons will ask in time to come, saying, What mean these stones to you?

rotherham@Joshua:4:7 @ Then shall ye say unto them That the waters of the Jordan, were cut off, from before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, when it passed into the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, were cut off. So shall these stones become a memorial unto the sons of Israel, unto times age-abiding.

rotherham@Joshua:4:8 @ And the sons of Israel did so, as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as spake Yahweh unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and carried them with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

rotherham@Joshua:4:9 @ Twelve stones also, did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where stood the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant, and they have remained there until this day.

rotherham@Joshua:4:10 @ Now, the priests who were bearing the ark, continued standing in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished which Yahweh commanded Joshua, to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, the people therefore hasted, and passed over.

rotherham@Joshua:4:11 @ And so it was, as soon as all the people had made an end of passing over, then passed over the ark of Yahweh, and the priests, in presence of the people.

rotherham@Joshua:4:12 @ Also the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the hall tribe of Manasseh, passed over, armed, before the sons of Israel, as Moses had spoken unto them:

rotherham@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day, did Yahweh magnify Joshua in the eyes of all Israel, and they revered him, as they revered Moses, all the days of his life.

rotherham@Joshua:4:16 @ Command the priests who are bearing the ark of testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.

rotherham@Joshua:4:19 @ So, the people, came up out of the Jordan, on the tenth of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, at the eastern end of Jericho.

rotherham@Joshua:4:20 @ And, these twelve stones which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up, in Gilgal.

rotherham@Joshua:4:21 @ Then spake he unto the sons of Israel, saying, When your sons shall ask, in time to come, of their fathers, saying, What mean these stones?

rotherham@Joshua:4:22 @ then shall ye let your sons know, saying, On dry ground, came Israel over this Jordan;

rotherham@Joshua:4:23 @ in that Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before you, until ye had passed over, as Yahweh your God had done unto the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over:

rotherham@Joshua:5:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before the sons of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the sons of Israel.

rotherham@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time, said Yahweh unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, and again circumcise the sons of Israel, a second time.

rotherham@Joshua:5:3 @ So Joshua made him knives of flint, and circumcised the sons of Israel, at the Hill of Foreskins.

rotherham@Joshua:5:6 @ Because, for forty years, did the sons of Israel journey in the desert, until all the nation who were men of war, who came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, unto whom Yahweh sware that he would not let them see the land, which Yahweh sware unto their fathers, that he would give unto us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

rotherham@Joshua:5:7 @ Their sons, therefore, whom he had raised up in their stead, them, did Joshua circumcise, for, uncircumcised, they were, in that they had not circumcised them by the way.

rotherham@Joshua:5:8 @ And so it came to pass, when they had made an end of circumcising all the nation, they remained in their place, in the camp, until they were healed.

rotherham@Joshua:5:10 @ Thus then the sons of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the waste plains of Jericho.

rotherham@Joshua:5:11 @ And they did eat of the corn of the land, on the morrow of the passover, unleavened cakes and parched ears of corn, on this selfsame day.

rotherham@Joshua:5:12 @ And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they had eaten of the corn of the land, neither had the sons of Israel manna any more, so they did eat of the yield of the land of Canaan throughout that year.

rotherham@Joshua:5:14 @ And he said Nay, but, I, as prince of the host of Yahweh, have, now, come. So Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said unto him, What is my lord speaking unto his servant?

rotherham@Joshua:5:15 @ Then said the prince of the host of Yahweh unto Joshua Slip off thy sandals from thy feet, for, as for the place whereon thou art standing, holy, it is. And Joshua did so.

rotherham@Joshua:6:1 @ Now, Jericho, was shut up and barred because of the sons of Israel, none came out and none went in.

rotherham@Joshua:6:3 @ So then ye shall compass the city all ye men of war, going round the city, once, thus, shall thou do six days.

rotherham@Joshua:6:4 @ And, seven priests, shall bear the seven rams horns before the ark, and, on the seventh day, shall ye compass the city seven times, and, the priests, shall blow with the horns.

rotherham@Joshua:6:6 @ Then called Joshua son of Nun unto the priests, and said unto them, Bear ye the ark of the covenant, and let, seven priest, bear seven rams horns, before the ark of Yahweh.

rotherham@Joshua:6:7 @ Then said he unto the people, Pass on and compass the city, and let, the armed host, pass on before the ark of Yahweh.

rotherham@Joshua:6:8 @ And it was so, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that, the seven priests who were bearing the seven rams horns before Yahweh, passed on and blew with the horns, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh also coming after them.

rotherham@Joshua:6:9 @ And, the armed host, went on before the priests who blew with the horns, and, the rear-guard, came after the ark, going on and blowing with the horns.

rotherham@Joshua:6:11 @ So he caused the ark of Yahweh to compass the city, going round once, and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

rotherham@Joshua:6:13 @ and, the seven priests who bare the seven rams horns before the ark of Yahweh, went on and on, and blew with the horns, with, the armed host going on before them, and, the rear-guard, coming after the ark of Yahweh, going on and blowing with the horns.

rotherham@Joshua:6:14 @ So they compassed the city on the second day once, and returned into the camp, thus, did they, six days.

rotherham@Joshua:6:15 @ And it came to pass, on the seventh day, that they rose early at the uprisings of the dawn, and compassed the city after this manner, seven times, only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

rotherham@Joshua:6:18 @ But, in any wise, do, ye, beware of what is devoted, lest ye should covet, and then take of what is devoted, and so cause the camp of Israel to be devoted, and bring trouble upon it.

rotherham@Joshua:6:19 @ But, as for all silver and gold and vessels of bronze and iron, hallowed, it is to Yahweh, unto the treasury of Yahweh, shall it come.

rotherham@Joshua:6:24 @ But, the city, burned they with fire, and all that was therein, save only, the silver and the gold and the vessels of bronze and of iron, put they into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.

rotherham@Joshua:6:26 @ And Joshua imposed an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Yahweh who shall raise up and build this city Jericho, At the price of his firstborn, shall he lay its foundation, and, at the price of his youngest, shall he set up its doors.

rotherham@Joshua:7:1 @ But the sons of Israel had committed an act of unfaithfulness in respect of what was devoted, for Achan son of Carmi son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah had taken of what was devoted, and the anger of Yahweh had kindled against the sons of Israel.

rotherham@Joshua:7:2 @ And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai which was beside Beth-aven on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them saying, Go up and spy out the land. So the men went up, and spied out Ai.

rotherham@Joshua:7:5 @ And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men, and pursued them before the gate as far as the Shebarim, and smote them on the slope, so that the heart of the people melted and became as water.

rotherham@Joshua:7:6 @ Then Joshua rent his clothes and fell upon his face to the earth before the ark of Yahweh until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they lifted up dust upon their heads.

rotherham@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said Alas! My Lord Yahweh! Wherefore hast thou, brought, this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us? Would then we had been content to dwell on the other side of the Jordan!

rotherham@Joshua:7:9 @ Only let the Canaanite and all the inhabitants of the land hear, and they will surround us, and cut off our name out of the earth, what then wilt thou do for thy great name?

rotherham@Joshua:7:10 @ And Yahweh said unto Joshua Get thee up! wherefore is it that thou art lying upon thy face?

rotherham@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel hath sinned, yea moreover they have transgressed my covenant which I commanded them, yea moreover they have taken of what was devoted, yea moreover they have stolen, yea moreover they have dissembled, yea moreover they have put it among their own goods.

rotherham@Joshua:7:12 @ Therefore cannot the sons of Israel stand before their enemies, their back, do they turn before their enemies, because they have become devoted, I will no more be with you, except ye destroy the devoted thing out of your midst.

rotherham@Joshua:7:18 @ and he brought near his household, man by man, and, Achan son of Carmi son of Zabdi son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was seized.

rotherham@Joshua:7:19 @ And Joshua said unto Achan My son give I pray thee glory unto Yahweh God of Israel and make to him confession, and tell me I pray thee what thou hast done, do not hide it from me.

rotherham@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua and said, Of a truth, I, have sinned against Yahweh God of Israel, and, thus and thus, have I done:

rotherham@Joshua:7:21 @ When I saw among the spoil a certain goodly mantle of Babylonia and two hundred shekels of silver and a certain wedge of goldfifty shekels the weight thereof, then I coveted them, then I took them, and, there they are, hid in the earth, in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

rotherham@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them in unto Joshua, and unto all the sons of Israel, and poured them out before Yahweh.

rotherham@Joshua:7:24 @ And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achanson of Zerah, and the silver and the mantle and the wedge of gold, and his sons and his daughters, and his oxen and his asses and his sheep and his tent, and all that he had, and brought them up the valley of Achor.

rotherham@Joshua:7:25 @ And Joshua said Why hast thou troubled us? Yahweh, will trouble thee, this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them up with fire, and covered them with stones;

rotherham@Joshua:7:26 @ yea they raised over him a great heap of stones

rotherham@Joshua:8:2 @ so shalt thou do unto Ai and to her king, as thou didst unto Jericho unto her king, save only, the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof, shall ye take as your own prey, set thee an ambush for the city, behind it.

rotherham@Joshua:8:7 @ Then, ye, shall rise up out of the ambush, and take possession of the city, and Yahweh your God will deliver it into your hand.

rotherham@Joshua:8:9 @ So Joshua sent them forth, and they went into ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai, but Joshua lodged that night in the midst of the people.

rotherham@Joshua:8:11 @ And, all the people of war who were with him, went up, and drew near, and came in, right before the city, and pitched on the north of Ai, with, a valley, between them and Ai.

rotherham@Joshua:8:12 @ And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city.

rotherham@Joshua:8:13 @ And, when the people had set all the host that was on the north of the city, with the rear thereof on the west of the city, then went Joshua, during the night, into the midst of the valley.

rotherham@Joshua:8:17 @ And there remained not a man, in Ai or Bethel, who had not gone out after Israel, and they left the city, open, and pursued Israel.

rotherham@Joshua:8:19 @ And, the ambush, rose up quickly, out of their place, and ran, when he stretched out his hand, and entered the city, and captured it, and hasted, and set the city on fire.

rotherham@Joshua:8:20 @ And the men of Ai turned behind them, and looked, and lo! the smoke of the city had risen up towards the heavens, and there was in them no strength, to flee this way or that way, moreover, the people that were fleeing to the wilderness, turned back upon the pursuers.

rotherham@Joshua:8:22 @ And, the others, came forth out of the city to meet them, so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side, and they smote them, until there was left them none to remain or to escape.

rotherham@Joshua:8:24 @ And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness whither they had pursued them, and all of them had fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, then all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

rotherham@Joshua:8:28 @ So then Joshua burned Ai, and made of it an age-abiding heapa desolation, until this day.

rotherham@Joshua:8:29 @ And, the king of Ai, hanged he on a tree until eventide, but, at the going in of the sun, Joshua gave command and they took down his dead body from the tree, and cast it in at the opening of the gate of the city, and raised up over it a great heap of stones

rotherham@Joshua:8:31 @ as Moses, the servant of Yahweh, commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the scroll of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, whereon had not been wielded any tool of iron, and they caused to go up thereon, ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, and sacrificed peace-offerings.

rotherham@Joshua:8:32 @ Then wrote he there, upon the stones, a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the sons of Israel.

rotherham@Joshua:8:33 @ And, all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, were standing on this side and on that side of the ark, before the priests the Levites, who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, as well the sojourner as the home-born, half of them over against Mount Gerizim, and half of them over against Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded to bless the sons of Israel, first of all.

rotherham@Joshua:8:35 @ Them was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the convocation of Israel, with the women and the little ones, and the sojourner who was going on in their midst.

rotherham@Joshua:9:1 @ And it came to pass, when they heard, namely, all the kings who were over the Jordan, in the hill country and in the lowland, and in all the coast of the great sea, over against the Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite;

rotherham@Joshua:9:2 @ then gathered they themselves together as one man, to fight with Joshua, and with Israel, with one accord.

rotherham@Joshua:9:3 @ Now, the inhabitants of Gibeon, heard that which Joshua had done unto Jericho and unto Ai;

rotherham@Joshua:9:5 @ and sandals, old and patched, upon their feet, and worn-out mantles upon them, and, all the bread of their provision, was dry and broken.

rotherham@Joshua:9:9 @ And they said unto him From a very far country, have thy servants come, because of the name of Yahweh thy God, because we had heard his fame, and all that he had done in Egypt;

rotherham@Joshua:9:10 @ and all that he had done unto the two kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan, unto Sihon, king of Heshbon, and unto Og, king of Bashan, who was in Ashtaroth.

rotherham@Joshua:9:11 @ So our elders and all the inhabitants of our land spake unto us, saying Take ye, in your hand, provision for the journey, and go your way to meet them, then shall ye say unto them, Your servants, we are. Now, therefore, solemnise with us a covenant.

rotherham@Joshua:9:12 @ This our bread, took we, hot, for our provision, out of our houses, on the day we came forth to journey unto you, but, now, lo! it is dry, yea it is broken;

rotherham@Joshua:9:13 @ and, these leathern wine bottles, which we filled new, lo! also, they are rent, and, as for these our mantles and our sandals, they are worn out, by reason of the very long journey.

rotherham@Joshua:9:14 @ So the men took of their provision, but, the bidding of Yahweh, had they not asked.

rotherham@Joshua:9:17 @ So the sons of Israel brake up, and came in unto their cities on the third day, their cities, being Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.

rotherham@Joshua:9:18 @ And the sons of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the assembly had sworn unto them by Yahweh, God of Israel, but all the assembly murmured against the princes.

rotherham@Joshua:9:20 @ This, will we do unto them, even let them live, lest there come on us wrath, because of the oath which we have sworn unto them.

rotherham@Joshua:9:23 @ Now, therefore, accursed, ye are, and ye shall not cease to be in bond-service as hewers of wood and drawers of water, for the house of my God.

rotherham@Joshua:9:24 @ And they responded to Joshua, and said Because it was, plainly told, thy servants, how that Yahweh thy God had commanded Moses his servant to give unto you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore feared we greatly, for our lives, because of you, and did this thing.

rotherham@Joshua:9:26 @ And he did to them so, and rescued them out of the hand of the sons of Israel, and they slew them not.

rotherham@Joshua:10:1 @ And it came to pass, when Adonizedec, king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua had captured Ai, and devoted it to destruction, as he had done unto Jericho and her king, so, had he done unto Ai and her king, and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and had come into their midst,

rotherham@Joshua:10:2 @ then feared they 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:

rotherham@Joshua:10:3 @ therefore sent Adonizedec, king of Jerusalem, unto Hoham, king of Hebron, and unto Piram, king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia, king of Lachish, and unto Debir, king of Eglon, saying:

rotherham@Joshua:10:4 @ Come up unto me and help me, that we may smite Gibeon, for it hath made peace with Joshua, and with the sons of Israel.

rotherham@Joshua:10:5 @ So they gathered themselves together and came up, even the five kings of the Amoritesthe king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, they, and all their hosts, and encamped near Gibeon, and made war against it.

rotherham@Joshua:10:6 @ So the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, saying, Do not withhold thy hand from thy servants, Come up unto us quickly, and save us, and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country, are gathered together against us.

rotherham@Joshua:10:10 @ And Yahweh confused them before Israel, and smote them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up Beth-horon, and smote them as far as Azekah and as far as Makkedah.

rotherham@Joshua:10:11 @ And it came to pass, when they fled from before Israel, they, being on the slope of Beth-horon, that, Yahweh, cast down upon them great stones out of the heavens, as far as Azekah, and they died, more, were they who died by the hailstones, than they whom the sons of Israel slew with the sword.

rotherham@Joshua:10:12 @ Then, spake Joshua unto Yahweh, on the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, yea he said, in the presence of Israel Thou Sun! in Gibeon, be still, and thou Moon! in the vale of Aijalon.

rotherham@Joshua:10:13 @ So the sun, was still, and, the moon, stayed, until a nation should be avenged on its fees. Is not, that, written in the Book of the Upright? So then the sun stayed in the middle of the heavens, and hastened not to go in, about a whole day.

rotherham@Joshua:10:18 @ And Joshua said, Roll ye great stones against the mouth of the cave, and set over it men, to watch them;

rotherham@Joshua:10:20 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel had made an end of smiting them with a very great slaughter, until they were spent, then did, the remainder that were left of them, enter into the fortified cities.

rotherham@Joshua:10:21 @ And all the people returned unto the camp, unto Joshua at Makkedah, in peace, none sharpened his tongue at any man of the sons of Israel.

rotherham@Joshua:10:23 @ And they did so, and brought out unto him, these five kings, out of the cave, namely, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.

rotherham@Joshua:10:24 @ And it came to pass, when they brought out these kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war who had been with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. So they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.

rotherham@Joshua:10:26 @ And Joshua smote them after this, and put them to death, and hanged them upon five trees, and they remained hung on the trees, until the evening,

rotherham@1Chronicles:16:1 @ So they brought in the ark of God, and placed it in the midst of the tent, which David had pitched for it, and they brought near ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, before God.
