*
And these five kings fled ,
and were hidden in a cave at Makkedah .
*
And it was told to Joshua ,
saying ,
the five kings have been found hidden in a cave at Makkedah .
*
And said ,
Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave ,
and set men over it to watch them .
*
And you ,
do not stand still .
Pursue your enemies ,
and you shall strike the hindmost of them .
Do not allow them to go into their cities ,
for Jehovah your God has given them into your hand .
*
And it happened ,
when and the sons of Israel had finished destroying them with a very great blow ,
until they were completely destroyed ,
and the remnant of them who escaped went into the fortified cities ,
*
that all the people returned to the camp in peace ,
to at Makkedah .
Not one sharpened his tongue against the sons of Israel ,
against any man .
*
And said ,
Open the mouth of the cave ,
and bring out to me these five kings from the cave .
*
And they did so ,
and brought out to him these five kings from the cave ,
the king of Jerusalem ,
the king of Hebron ,
the king of Jarmuth ,
the king of Lachish ,
the king of Eglon .
*
And it happened ,
when they brought out these kings to Joshua ,
called to every man of Israel and said to the commanders of the men of war who had gone with him ,
Draw near ,
set your feet on the necks of these kings .
And they drew near and set their feet on their necks .
*
And said to them ,
Do not fear nor be afraid .
Be strong and brave ,
for so Jehovah shall do to all your enemies with whom you are fighting .
*
And afterward struck them ,
and put them to death ,
and hung them on five trees .
And they were hanging on the trees until the evening .
*
And it happened at the time of the going of the sun ,
commanded ,
and they took them down from the trees ,
and threw them into the cave where they had been hidden ,
and put great stones on the mouth of the cave until this very day .
*
And that day captured Makkedah .
And he struck it by the mouth of the sword ,
and he destroyed its king ,
them ,
and every person in it .
He did not leave a survivor .
And he did to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho .
