Chapter 10
Now
it
came
to
pass,
when
Adoni-zedek
king
of
Jerusalem
had
heard
how
Joshua
had
taken
Ai,
and
had
utterly
destroyed
it;
as
he
had
done
to
Jericho
and
her
king,
so
he
had
done
to
Ai
and
her
king;
and
how
the
inhabitants
of
Gibeon
had
made
peace
with
Israel,
and
were
among
them;
2
That
they
feared
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.
3
Wherefore
Adoni-zedek
king
of
Jerusalem
sent
unto
Hoham
king
of
Hebron,
and
unto
Piram
king
of
Jarmuth,
and
unto
Japhia
king
of
Lachish,
and
unto
Debir
king
of
Eglon,
saying,
4
Come
up
unto
me,
and
help
me,
that
we
may
smite
Gibeon:
for
it
hath
made
peace
with
Joshua
and
with
the
children
of
Israel.
5
Therefore
the
five
kings
of
the
Amorites,
the
king
of
Jerusalem,
the
king
of
Hebron,
the
king
of
Jarmuth,
the
king
of
Lachish,
the
king
of
Eglon,
gathered
themselves
together,
and
went
up,
they
and
all
their
hosts,
and
encamped
before
Gibeon,
and
made
war
against
it.
6
And
the
men
of
Gibeon
sent
unto
Joshua
to
the
camp
to
Gilgal,
saying,
Slack
not
thy
hand
from
thy
servants;
come
up
to
us
quickly,
and
save
us,
and
help
us:
for
all
the
kings
of
the
Amorites
that
dwell
in
the
mountains
are
gathered
together
against
us.
7
So
Joshua
ascended
from
Gilgal,
he,
and
all
the
people
of
war
with
him,
and
all
the
mighty
men
of
valour.
8
And
the
Lord
said
unto
Joshua,
Fear
them
not:
for
I
have
delivered
them
into
thine
hand;
there
shall
not
a
man
of
them
stand
before
thee.
9
Joshua
therefore
came
unto
them
suddenly,
and
went
up
from
Gilgal
all
night.
10
And
the
Lord
discomfited
them
before
Israel,
and
slew
them
with
a
great
slaughter
at
Gibeon,
and
chased
them
along
the
way
that
goeth
up
to
Beth-horon,
and
smote
them
to
Azekah,
and
unto
Makkedah.
11
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
they
fled
from
before
Israel,
and
were
in
the
going
down
to
Beth-horon,
that
the
Lord
cast
down
great
stones
from
heaven
upon
them
unto
Azekah,
and
they
died:
they
were
more
which
died
with
hailstones
than
they
whom
the
children
of
Israel
slew
with
the
sword.
12
Then
spake
Joshua
to
the
Lord
in
the
day
when
the
Lord
delivered
up
the
Amorites
before
the
children
of
Israel,
and
he
said
in
the
sight
of
Israel,
Sun,
stand
thou
still
upon
Gibeon;
and
thou,
Moon,
in
the
valley
of
Ajalon.
13
And
the
sun
stood
still,
and
the
moon
stayed,
until
the
people
had
avenged
themselves
upon
their
enemies.
Is
not
this
written
in
the
book
of
Jasher?
So
the
sun
stood
still
in
the
midst
of
heaven,
and
hasted
not
to
go
down
about
a
whole
day.
14
And
there
was
no
day
like
that
before
it
or
after
it,
that
the
Lord
hearkened
unto
the
voice
of
a
man:
for
the
Lord
fought
for
Israel.
15
And
Joshua
returned,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
unto
the
camp
to
Gilgal.
16
But
these
five
kings
fled,
and
hid
themselves
in
a
cave
at
Makkedah.
17
And
it
was
told
Joshua,
saying,
The
five
kings
are
found
hid
in
a
cave
at
Makkedah.
18
And
Joshua
said,
Roll
great
stones
upon
the
mouth
of
the
cave,
and
set
men
by
it
for
to
keep
them:
19
And
stay
ye
not,
but
pursue
after
your
enemies,
and
smite
the
hindmost
of
them;
suffer
them
not
to
enter
into
their
cities:
for
the
Lord
your
God
hath
delivered
them
into
your
hand.
20
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Joshua
and
the
children
of
Israel
had
made
an
end
of
slaying
them
with
a
very
great
slaughter,
till
they
were
consumed,
that
the
rest
which
remained
of
them
entered
into
fenced
cities.
21
And
all
the
people
returned
to
the
camp
to
Joshua
at
Makkedah
in
peace:
none
moved
his
tongue
against
any
of
the
children
of
Israel.
22
Then
said
Joshua,
Open
the
mouth
of
the
cave,
and
bring
out
those
five
kings
unto
me
out
of
the
cave.
23
And
they
did
so,
and
brought
forth
those
five
kings
unto
him
out
of
the
cave,
the
king
of
Jerusalem,
the
king
of
Hebron,
the
king
of
Jarmuth,
the
king
of
Lachish,
and
the
king
of
Eglon.
24
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
they
brought
out
those
kings
unto
Joshua,
that
Joshua
called
for
all
the
men
of
Israel,
and
said
unto
the
captains
of
the
men
of
war
which
went
with
him,
Come
near,
put
your
feet
upon
the
necks
of
these
kings.
And
they
came
near,
and
put
their
feet
upon
the
necks
of
them.
25
And
Joshua
said
unto
them,
Fear
not,
nor
be
dismayed,
be
strong
and
of
good
courage:
for
thus
shall
the
Lord
do
to
all
your
enemies
against
whom
ye
fight.
26
And
afterward
Joshua
smote
them,
and
slew
them,
and
hanged
them
on
five
trees:
and
they
were
hanging
upon
the
trees
until
the
evening.
27
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
time
of
the
going
down
of
the
sun,
that
Joshua
commanded,
and
they
took
them
down
off
the
trees,
and
cast
them
into
the
cave
wherein
they
had
been
hid,
and
laid
great
stones
in
the
cave’s
mouth,
which
remain
until
this
very
day.
28
And
that
day
Joshua
took
Makkedah,
and
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
the
king
thereof
he
utterly
destroyed,
them,
and
all
the
souls
that
were
therein;
he
let
none
remain:
and
he
did
to
the
king
of
Makkedah
as
he
did
unto
the
king
of
Jericho.
29
Then
Joshua
passed
from
Makkedah,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
unto
Libnah,
and
fought
against
Libnah:
30
And
the
Lord
delivered
it
also,
and
the
king
thereof,
into
the
hand
of
Israel;
and
he
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
all
the
souls
that
were
therein;
he
let
none
remain
in
it;
but
did
unto
the
king
thereof
as
he
did
unto
the
king
of
Jericho.
31
And
Joshua
passed
from
Libnah,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
unto
Lachish,
and
encamped
against
it,
and
fought
against
it:
32
And
the
Lord
delivered
Lachish
into
the
hand
of
Israel,
which
took
it
on
the
second
day,
and
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
all
the
souls
that
were
therein,
according
to
all
that
he
had
done
to
Libnah.
33
Then
Horam
king
of
Gezer
came
up
to
help
Lachish;
and
Joshua
smote
him
and
his
people,
until
he
had
left
him
none
remaining.
34
And
from
Lachish
Joshua
passed
unto
Eglon,
and
all
Israel
with
him;
and
they
encamped
against
it,
and
fought
against
it:
35
And
they
took
it
on
that
day,
and
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
all
the
souls
that
were
therein
he
utterly
destroyed
that
day,
according
to
all
that
he
had
done
to
Lachish.
36
And
Joshua
went
up
from
Eglon,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
unto
Hebron;
and
they
fought
against
it:
37
And
they
took
it,
and
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
the
king
thereof,
and
all
the
cities
thereof,
and
all
the
souls
that
were
therein;
he
left
none
remaining,
according
to
all
that
he
had
done
to
Eglon;
but
destroyed
it
utterly,
and
all
the
souls
that
were
therein.
38
And
Joshua
returned,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
to
Debir;
and
fought
against
it:
39
And
he
took
it,
and
the
king
thereof,
and
all
the
cities
thereof;
and
they
smote
them
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
utterly
destroyed
all
the
souls
that
were
therein;
he
left
none
remaining:
as
he
had
done
to
Hebron,
so
he
did
to
Debir,
and
to
the
king
thereof;
as
he
had
done
also
to
Libnah,
and
to
her
king.
40
So
Joshua
smote
all
the
country
of
the
hills,
and
of
the
south,
and
of
the
vale,
and
of
the
springs,
and
all
their
kings:
he
left
none
remaining,
but
utterly
destroyed
all
that
breathed,
as
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
commanded.
41
And
Joshua
smote
them
from
Kadesh-barnea
even
unto
Gaza,
and
all
the
country
of
Goshen,
even
unto
Gibeon.
42
And
all
these
kings
and
their
land
did
Joshua
take
at
one
time,
because
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
fought
for
Israel.
43
And
Joshua
returned,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
unto
the
camp
to
Gilgal.
