10:1 As
soon
as
Adoni-zedek,
king
of
Jerusalem,
heard
how
Joshua
had
captured
Ai
and
had
devoted
it
to
destruction,
doing
to
Ai
and
its
king
as
he
had
done
to
Jericho
and
its
king,
and
how
the
inhabitants
of
Gibeon
had
made
peace
with
Israel
and
were
among
them,
10:2 he
feared
greatly,
because
Gibeon
was
a
great
city,
like
one
of
the
royal
cities,
and
because
it
was
greater
than
Ai,
and
all
its
men
were
warriors.
10:3 So
Adoni-zedek
king
of
Jerusalem
sent
to
Hoham
king
of
Hebron,
to
Piram
king
of
Jarmuth,
to
Japhia
king
of
Lachish,
and
to
Debir
king
of
Eglon,
saying,
10:4 "Come
up
to
me
and
help
me,
and
let
us
strike
Gibeon.
For
it
has
made
peace
with
Joshua
and
with
the
people
of
Israel."
10:5 Then
the
five
kings
of
the
Amorites,
the
king
of
Jerusalem,
the
king
of
Hebron,
the
king
of
Jarmuth,
the
king
of
Lachish,
and
the
king
of
Eglon,
gathered
their
forces
and
went
up
with
all
their
armies
and
encamped
against
Gibeon
and
made
war
against
it.
10:6 And
the
men
of
Gibeon
sent
to
Joshua
at
the
camp
in
Gilgal,
saying,
"Do
not
relax
your
hand
from
your
servants.
Come
up
to
us
quickly
and
save
us
and
help
us,
for
all
the
kings
of
the
Amorites
who
dwell
in
the
hill
country
are
gathered
against
us."
10:7 So
Joshua
went
up
from
Gilgal,
he
and
all
the
people
of
war
with
him,
and
all
the
mighty
men
of
valor.
10:8 And
the
LORD
said
to
Joshua,
"Do
not
fear
them,
for
I
have
given
them
into
your
hands.
Not
a
man
of
them
shall
stand
before
you."
10:9 So
Joshua
came
upon
them
suddenly,
having
marched
up
all
night
from
Gilgal.
10:10 And
the
LORD
threw
them
into
a
panic
before
Israel,
who
struck
them
with
a
great
blow
at
Gibeon
and
chased
them
by
the
way
of
the
ascent
of
Beth-horon
and
struck
them
as
far
as
Azekah
and
Makkedah.
10:11 And
as
they
fled
before
Israel,
while
they
were
going
down
the
ascent
of
Beth-horon,
the
LORD
threw
down
large
stones
from
heaven
on
them
as
far
as
Azekah,
and
they
died.
There
were
more
who
died
because
of
the
hailstones
than
the
sons
of
Israel
killed
with
the
sword.
10:12 At
that
time
Joshua
spoke
to
the
LORD
in
the
day
when
the
LORD
gave
the
Amorites
over
to
the
sons
of
Israel,
and
he
said
in
the
sight
of
Israel,
"Sun,
stand
still
at
Gibeon,
and
moon,
in
the
Valley
of
Aijalon."
10:13 And
the
sun
stood
still,
and
the
moon
stopped,
until
the
nation
took
vengeance
on
their
enemies.
Is
this
not
written
in
the
Book
of
Jashar
The
sun
stopped
in
the
midst
of
heaven
and
did
not
hurry
to
set
for
about
a
whole
day.
10:14 There
has
been
no
day
like
it
before
or
since,
when
the
LORD
heeded
the
voice
of
a
man,
for
the
LORD
fought
for
Israel.
10:15 So
Joshua
returned,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
to
the
camp
at
Gilgal.
10:16 These
five
kings
fled
and
hid
themselves
in
the
cave
at
Makkedah.
10:17 And
it
was
told
to
Joshua,
"The
five
kings
have
been
found,
hidden
in
the
cave
at
Makkedah."
10:18 And
Joshua
said,
"Roll
large
stones
against
the
mouth
of
the
cave
and
set
men
by
it
to
guard
them,
10:19 but
do
not
stay
there
yourselves.
Pursue
your
enemies;
attack
their
rear
guard.
Do
not
let
them
enter
their
cities,
for
the
LORD
your
God
has
given
them
into
your
hand."
10:20 When
Joshua
and
the
sons
of
Israel
had
finished
striking
them
with
a
great
blow
until
they
were
wiped
out,
and
when
the
remnant
that
remained
of
them
had
entered
into
the
fortified
cities,
10:21 then
all
the
people
returned
safe
to
Joshua
in
the
camp
at
Makkedah.
Not
a
man
moved
his
tongue
against
any
of
the
people
of
Israel.
10:22 Then
Joshua
said,
"Open
the
mouth
of
the
cave
and
bring
those
five
kings
out
to
me
from
the
cave."
10:23 And
they
did
so,
and
brought
those
five
kings
out
to
him
from
the
cave,
the
king
of
Jerusalem,
the
king
of
Hebron,
the
king
of
Jarmuth,
the
king
of
Lachish,
and
the
king
of
Eglon.
10:24 And
when
they
brought
those
kings
out
to
Joshua,
Joshua
summoned
all
the
men
of
Israel
and
said
to
the
chiefs
of
the
men
of
war
who
had
gone
with
him,
"Come
near;
put
your
feet
on
the
necks
of
these
kings."
Then
they
came
near
and
put
their
feet
on
their
necks.
10:25 And
Joshua
said
to
them,
"Do
not
be
afraid
or
dismayed;
be
strong
and
courageous.
For
thus
the
LORD
will
do
to
all
your
enemies
against
whom
you
fight."
10:26 And
afterward
Joshua
struck
them
and
put
them
to
death,
and
he
hanged
them
on
five
trees.
And
they
hung
on
the
trees
until
evening.
10:27 But
at
the
time
of
the
going
down
of
the
sun,
Joshua
commanded,
and
they
took
them
down
from
the
trees
and
threw
them
into
the
cave
where
they
had
hidden
themselves,
and
they
set
large
stones
against
the
mouth
of
the
cave,
which
remain
to
this
very
day.
10:28 As
for
Makkedah,
Joshua
captured
it
on
that
day
and
struck
it,
and
its
king,
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
He
devoted
to
destruction
every
person
in
it;
he
left
none
remaining.
And
he
did
to
the
king
of
Makkedah
just
as
he
had
done
to
the
king
of
Jericho.
10:29 Then
Joshua
and
all
Israel
with
him
passed
on
from
Makkedah
to
Libnah
and
fought
against
Libnah.
10:30 And
the
LORD
gave
it
also
and
its
king
into
the
hand
of
Israel.
And
he
struck
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
every
person
in
it;
he
left
none
remaining
in
it.
And
he
did
to
its
king
as
he
had
done
to
the
king
of
Jericho.
10:31 Then
Joshua
and
all
Israel
with
him
passed
on
from
Libnah
to
Lachish
and
laid
siege
to
it
and
fought
against
it.
10:32 And
the
LORD
gave
Lachish
into
the
hand
of
Israel,
and
he
captured
it
on
the
second
day
and
struck
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
every
person
in
it,
as
he
had
done
to
Libnah.
10:33 Then
Horam
king
of
Gezer
came
up
to
help
Lachish.
And
Joshua
struck
him
and
his
people,
until
he
left
none
remaining.
10:34 Then
Joshua
and
all
Israel
with
him
passed
on
from
Lachish
to
Eglon.
And
they
laid
siege
to
it
and
fought
against
it.
10:35 And
they
captured
it
on
that
day,
and
struck
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
And
he
devoted
every
person
in
it
to
destruction
that
day,
as
he
had
done
to
Lachish.
10:36 Then
Joshua
and
all
Israel
with
him
went
up
from
Eglon
to
Hebron.
And
they
fought
against
it
10:37 and
captured
it
and
struck
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
its
king
and
its
towns,
and
every
person
in
it.
He
left
none
remaining,
as
he
had
done
to
Eglon,
and
devoted
it
to
destruction
and
every
person
in
it.
10:38 Then
Joshua
and
all
Israel
with
him
turned
back
to
Debir
and
fought
against
it
10:39 and
he
captured
it
with
its
king
and
all
its
towns.
And
they
struck
them
with
the
edge
of
the
sword
and
devoted
to
destruction
every
person
in
it;
he
left
none
remaining.
Just
as
he
had
done
to
Hebron
and
to
Libnah
and
its
king,
so
he
did
to
Debir
and
to
its
king.
10:40 So
Joshua
struck
the
whole
land,
the
hill
country
and
the
Negeb
and
the
lowland
and
the
slopes,
and
all
their
kings.
He
left
none
remaining,
but
devoted
to
destruction
all
that
breathed,
just
as
the
LORD
God
of
Israel
commanded.
10:41 And
Joshua
struck
them
from
Kadesh-barnea
as
far
as
Gaza,
and
all
the
country
of
Goshen,
as
far
as
Gibeon.
10:42 And
Joshua
captured
all
these
kings
and
their
land
at
one
time,
because
the
LORD
God
of
Israel
fought
for
Israel.
10:43 Then
Joshua
returned,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
to
the
camp
at
Gilgal.
