But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah .
bbe @
Joshua:10:17 @
And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah .
bbe @
Joshua:10:18 @
And Joshua said ,
Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole ,
and let men keep watch by it :
bbe @
Joshua:10:19 @
But do you ,
without waiting ,
go after their army ,
attacking them from the back ;
do not let them get into their towns ,
for the Lord your God has given them into your hands .

Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction ,
and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns ,
bbe @
Joshua:10:21 @
All the people went back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Makkedah in peace :
and no one said a word against the children of Israel .
bbe @
Joshua:10:22 @
Then Joshua said ,
Take away the stones from the mouth of the hole in the rock ,
and make those five kings come out to me .
bbe @
Joshua:10:23 @
And they did so ,
and made those five kings come out of the hole to him ,
the king of Jerusalem ,
the king of Hebron ,
the king of Jarmuth ,
the king of Lachish ,
and the king of Eglon .

Joshua:10:24 @
And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua ,
Joshua sent for all the men of Israel ,
and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him ,
Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings .
So they came near and put their feet on their necks .
bbe @
Joshua:10:25 @
And Joshua said to them ,
Have no fear and do not be troubled ;
be strong and take heart :
for so will the Lord do to all against whom you make war .
bbe @
Joshua:10:26 @
Then Joshua had them put to death ,
hanging them on five trees ,
where they were till evening .
bbe @
Joshua:10:27 @
And when the sun went down ,
they were taken down from the trees ,
by Joshua '
s orders ,
and put into the hole where they had gone to be safe ;
and great stones were placed at the mouth of the hole ,
where they are to this day .
bbe @
Joshua:10:28 @
That day Joshua took Makkedah ,
and put it and its king to the sword ;
every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy :
and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho .
