1
Now it came
about when Adoni-zedek
king
of Jerusalem
heard
that Joshua
had captured
Ai,
and had utterly destroyed
it (just
as
he had done
to Jericho
and its
king
,
so
he had done
to Ai
and its
king
),
and that the inhabitants
of Gibeon
had made peace
with Israel
and were within their land,
2
that 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 mighty.
3
Therefore Adoni-zedek
king
of Jerusalem
sent
word to Hoham
king
of Hebron
and to Piram
king
of Jarmuth
and to Japhia
king
of Lachish
and to Debir
king
of Eglon,
saying,
4
"Come
up to me and help
me, and let us attack
Gibeon,
for it has made peace
with Joshua
and with the sons
of Israel."
5
So 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
together and went
up, they with all
their armies,
and camped
by Gibeon
and fought
against
it.
6
Then the men
of Gibeon
sent
word to Joshua
to the camp
at Gilgal,
saying,
"Do not abandon
your servants;
come
up to us quickly
and save
us and help
us, for all
the kings
of the Amorites
that live
in the hill country
have assembled
against
us."
7
So Joshua
went
up from Gilgal,
he and all
the people
of war
with him and all
the valiant
warriors.
8
The LORD
said
to Joshua,
"Do not fear
them, for I have given
them into your hands;
not one
of them shall stand
before
you."
9
So Joshua
came
upon them suddenly
by marching
all
night
from Gilgal.
10
And the LORD
confounded
them before
Israel,
and He slew
them with a great
slaughter
at Gibeon,
and pursued
them by the way
of the ascent
of Beth-horon
and struck
them as far
as Azekah
and Makkedah.
11
As they fled
from before
Israel,
while they were at the descent
of Beth-horon,
the LORD
threw
large
stones
from heaven
on them as far
as Azekah,
and they
died
;
there were more
who
died
from the hail
stones
than
those
who
m
the sons
of Israel
killed
with the sword.
12
Then
Joshua
spoke
to the LORD
in the day
when the LORD
delivered
up the Amorites
before
the sons
of Israel,
and he said
in the sight
of Israel,
"O sun,
stand still
at Gibeon,
And O moon
in the valley
of Aijalon."
13
So the sun
stood still,
and the moon
stopped
,
Until
the nation
avenged
themselves of their enemies.
Is it not written
in the book
of Jashar?
And the sun
stopped
in the middle
of the sky
and did not hasten
to go
down for about a whole
day.
14
There was no
day
like that before
it or after
it, when the LORD
listened
to the voice
of a man;
for the LORD
fought
for Israel.
15
Then Joshua
and all
Israel
with him returned
to the camp
to Gilgal.
16
Now these
five
kings
had fled
and hidden
themselves in the cave
at Makkedah.
17
It was told
Joshua,
saying,
"The five
kings
have been found
hidden
in the cave
at Makkedah."
18
Joshua
said,
"Roll
large
stones
against
the mouth
of the cave,
and assign
men
by it to guard
them,
19
but do not stay
there yourselves;
pursue
your enemies
and attack them in the rear.
Do not allow
them to enter
their cities,
for the LORD
your God
has delivered
them into your hand."
20
It came
about when Joshua
and the sons
of Israel
had finished
slaying
them with a very
great
slaughter,
until
they were destroyed,
and the survivors
who remained
of them had entered
the fortified
cities,
21
that all
the people
returned
to the camp
to Joshua
at Makkedah
in peace.
No
one uttered
a word
against any of the sons
of Israel.
22
Then Joshua
said,
"Open
the mouth
of the cave
and bring
these
five
kings
out to me from the cave."
23
They did
so,
and brought
these
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.
24
When they brought
these
kings
out to
Joshua
,
Joshua
called
for 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
."
So they came near
and
put
their feet
on their necks.
25
Joshua
then said
to them, "Do not fear
or be dismayed!
Be strong
and courageous,
for thus
the LORD
will do
to all
your enemies
with whom
you fight."
26
So afterward
Joshua
struck
them and put them to death,
and he hanged
them on five
trees;
and they hung
on the trees
until
evening.
27
It came
about at sunset
that Joshua
gave a command,
and they took them down
from the trees
and threw
them into the cave
where
they had hidden
themselves, and put
large
stones
over
the mouth
of the cave,
to this
very
day.
28
Now Joshua
captured
Makkedah
on that day,
and struck
it and its king
with the edge
of the sword;
he utterly destroyed
it and every
person
who
was in it. He left
no
survivor.
Thus he did
to the king
of
Makkedah
just
as he had done
to the king
of Jericho.
29
Then Joshua
and all
Israel
with him passed
on from Makkedah
to Libnah,
and fought
against
Libnah.
30
The LORD
gave
it also
with its king
into the hands
of Israel,
and he struck
it and every
person
who
was in it with the edge
of the sword.
He left
no
survivor
in it. Thus he did
to its king
just
as he had done
to the king
of Jericho.
31
And Joshua
and all
Israel
with him passed
on from Libnah
to Lachish,
and they camped
by it and fought
against it.
32
The LORD
gave
Lachish
into the hands
of Israel;
and he captured
it on the second
day,
and struck
it and every
person
who
was in it with the edge
of the sword,
according to all
that he had done
to Libnah.
33
Then
Horam
king
of Gezer
came
up to help
Lachish,
and Joshua
defeated
him and his people
until
he had left
him no
survivor.
34
And Joshua
and all
Israel
with him passed
on from Lachish
to Eglon,
and they camped
by it and fought
against
it.
35
They captured
it on
that day
and struck
it with the edge
of the sword;
and he utterly destroyed
that day
every
person
who
was in it, according to all
that he had done
to Lachish.
36
Then Joshua
and all
Israel
with him went
up from Eglon
to Hebron,
and they fought
against
it.
37
They captured
it and struck
it and its king
and all
its cities
and all
the
person
s
who
were in it with the edge
of the sword.
He left
no
survivor,
according to all
that he had done
to Eglon.
And he utterly destroyed
it and every
person
who
was in it.
38
Then Joshua
and all
Israel
with him returned
to Debir,
and they fought
against
it.
39
He captured
it and its king
and all
its cities,
and they struck
them with the edge
of the sword,
and utterly destroyed
every
per
so
n
who was in it. He left
no
survivor.
Just
as he had done
to Hebron,
so
he did
to Debir
and its king,
as he had al
so
done
to Libnah
and its king.
40
Thus Joshua
struck
all
the land,
the hill country
and the Negev
and the lowland
and the slopes
and
all
their kings.
He left
no
survivor,
but he utterly destroyed
all
who breathed,
just
as the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
had commanded.
41
Joshua
struck
them from Kadesh-barnea
even as far
as Gaza,
and all
the country
of Goshen
even as far
as Gibeon.
42
Joshua
captured
all
these
kings
and their lands
at one
time,
because
the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
fought
for Israel.
43
So Joshua
and all
Israel
with him returned
to the camp
at Gilgal.
