Joshua 10

Five Kings Attack Gibeon

1

Now it cameh1961 about when Adoni-zedekh139 kingh4428 of Jerusalemh3389 heardh8085 that Joshuah3091 had capturedh3920 Aih5857, and had  1utterlyh2763a destroyedh2763a it (justh3512c  aas he had doneh6213a to Jerichoh3405 and its kingh4428, soh3651 he had doneh6213a to Aih5857 and its kingh4428), and that the inhabitantsh3427 of Gibeonh1391 had  bmadeh7999b peaceh7999b with Israelh3478 and were  2withinh7130 their landh7130,

2

that  1he  afearedh3372a greatlyh3966, becauseh3588 Gibeonh1391 was a greath1419 cityh5892b, like oneh259 of the royalh4467 citiesh5892b, and becauseh3588 it was greaterh1419 thanh4480 Aih5857, and allh3605 its menh376 were mightyh1368.

3

Therefore Adoni-zedekh139 kingh4428 of Jerusalemh3389 senth7971 word  ato Hohamh1944 kingh4428 of Hebronh2275a and to Piramh6502 kingh4428 of Jarmuthh3412 and to Japhiah3309 kingh4428 of Lachishh3923 and to Debirh1688 kingh4428 of Eglonh5700a, sayingh559,

4

"Comeh5927 up to me and helph5826 me, and let us  1attackh5221 Gibeonh1391, for it has  amadeh7999b peaceh7999b with Joshuah3091 and with the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478."

5

So the fiveh2568 kingsh4428 of  athe Amoritesh567, the kingh4428 of Jerusalemh3389, the kingh4428 of Hebronh2275a, the kingh4428 of Jarmuthh3412, the kingh4428 of Lachishh3923, and the kingh4428 of Eglonh5700a, gatheredh622 together and wenth5927 up, they with allh3605 their armiesh4264, and campedh2583 by Gibeonh1391 and foughth3898a againsth5921 it.

6

Then the menh376 of Gibeonh1391 senth7971 word to Joshuah3091 to the camph4264 at Gilgalh1537, sayingh559, "Do not  1abandonh7503h3027h4480 your servantsh5650; comeh5927 up to us quicklyh4120 and saveh3467 us and helph5826 us, for allh3605 the kingsh4428 of the Amoritesh567 that liveh3427 in the hillh2022 countryh2022 have assembledh6908 againsth413 us."

7

So Joshuah3091 wenth5927 up from Gilgalh1537, he and  aallh3605 the peopleh5971a of warh4421 with him and allh3605 the valianth2428 warriorsh1368.

8

The LORDh3068 saidh559 to Joshuah3091, " aDo not fearh3372a them, for I have givenh5414 them into your handsh3027; not  1oneh376 of them shall standh5975 beforeh6440 you."

9

So Joshuah3091 cameh935 upon them suddenlyh6597  1by marchingh5927 allh3605 nighth3915 from Gilgalh1537.

10

 aAnd the LORDh3068 confoundedh2000 them beforeh6440 Israelh3478, and He  1slewh5221 them with a greath1419 slaughterh4347 at Gibeonh1391, and pursuedh7291 them by the wayh1870 of the ascenth4608 of Beth-horonh1032 and struckh5221 them as farh5704 as Azekahh5825 and Makkedahh4719.

11

As they fledh5127 from beforeh4480h6440 Israelh3478, while they were at the descenth4174 of Beth-horonh1032,  athe LORDh3068 threwh7993 largeh1419 stonesh68 from heavenh8064 on them as farh5704 as Azekahh5825, and they diedh4191; there were moreh7227a whoh834 diedh4191  1from the hailstonesh1259h68 thanh4480 those whomh834 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 killedh2026 with the swordh2719.

12

Thenh227 Joshuah3091 spokeh1696 to the LORDh3068 in the dayh3117 when the LORDh3068 deliveredh5414 up the Amoritesh567 beforeh6440 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, and he saidh559 in the sighth5869 of Israelh3478, "O  asunh8121, standh1826a stillh1826a at Gibeonh1391, And O moonh3394 in the valleyh6010 of Aijalonh357."

13

 aSo the sunh8121 stoodh1826a stillh1826a, and the moonh3394 stoppedh5975, Untilh5704 the nationh1471 avengedh5358 themselves of their enemiesh340. Is it not writtenh3789 in  bthe bookh5612 of Jasharh3477? And  cthe sunh8121 stoppedh5975 in the middleh2677 of the skyh8064 and did not hastenh213 to goh935 down for about a wholeh8549 dayh3117.

14

There was noh3808 dayh3117 like that beforeh6440 it or afterh310 it, when the LORDh3068 listenedh8085 to the voiceh6963 of a manh376; for  athe LORDh3068 foughth3898a for Israelh3478.

15

Then Joshuah3091 and allh3605 Israelh3478 with him returnedh7725 to the camph4264 to Gilgalh1537.

Victory at Makkedah

16

Now theseh428  afiveh2568 kingsh4428 had fledh5127 and hiddenh2244 themselves in the caveh4631 at Makkedahh4719.

17

It was toldh5046 Joshuah3091, sayingh559, "The fiveh2568 kingsh4428 have been foundh4672 hiddenh2244 in the caveh4631 at Makkedahh4719."

18

Joshuah3091 saidh559, "Rollh1556 largeh1419 stonesh68 againsth413 the mouthh6310 of the caveh4631, and assignh6485 menh376 by it to guardh8104 them,

19

but do not stayh5975 there yourselvesh864b; pursueh7291 your enemiesh340 and  1attackh2179 them in the rearh2179. Do not allowh5414 them to enterh935 their citiesh5892b, for the LORDh3068 your Godh430 has deliveredh5414 them into your handh3027."

20

It cameh1961 about when Joshuah3091 and the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 had finishedh3615  1slayingh5221 them with a veryh3966 greath1419 slaughterh4347,  auntilh5704 they were destroyedh8552, and the survivorsh8300 who remainedh8277 of them  2had enteredh935 the fortifiedh4013 citiesh5892b,

21

that allh3605 the peopleh5971a returnedh7725 to the camph4264 to Joshuah3091 at Makkedahh4719 in peaceh7965. Noh3808 one  1utteredh2782 a wordh3956 against any of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478.

22

Then Joshuah3091 saidh559, "Openh6605a the mouthh6310 of the caveh4631 and bringh3318 theseh428 fiveh2568 kingsh4428 out to me from the caveh4631."

23

They didh6213a soh3651, and  abroughth3318 theseh428 fiveh2568 kingsh4428 out to him from the caveh4631: the kingh4428 of Jerusalemh3389, the kingh4428 of Hebronh2275a, the kingh4428 of Jarmuthh3412, the kingh4428 of Lachishh3923, and the kingh4428 of Eglonh5700a.

24

When they broughth3318 theseh428 kingsh4428 out to Joshuah3091, Joshuah3091 calledh7121 for allh3605 the menh376 of Israelh3478, and saidh559 to the chiefsh7101 of the menh376 of warh4421 who had goneh1980 with him, "Comeh7126 nearh7126,  aputh7760 your feeth7272 on the necksh6677 of theseh428 kingsh4428." So they cameh7126 nearh7126 and puth7760 their feeth7272 on their necksh6677.

25

Joshuah3091 then saidh559 to them, " aDo not fearh3372a or be dismayedh2865! Be strongh2388 and courageoush553, for thush3602 the LORDh3068 will doh6213a to allh3605 your enemiesh340 with whomh834 you fighth3898a."

26

So afterwardh310h3651 Joshuah3091 struckh5221 them and puth4191 them to deathh4191, and he  ahangedh8518 them on fiveh2568 treesh6086; and they hungh8518 on the treesh6086 untilh5704 eveningh6153.

27

It cameh1961 about at  1sunseth8121h935 that Joshuah3091 gaveh6680 a commandh6680, and  athey tookh3381 them downh3381 from the treesh6086 and threwh7993 them into the caveh4631 whereh834h8033 they had hiddenh2244 themselves, and puth7760 largeh1419 stonesh68 overh5921 the mouthh6310 of the caveh4631, to thish2088 veryh6106 dayh3117.

28

Now Joshuah3091 capturedh3920 Makkedahh4719 on that dayh3117, and struckh5221 it and its kingh4428 with the edgeh6310 of the swordh2719;  ahe  1utterlyh2763a destroyedh2763a  2it and everyh3605  3personh5315 whoh834 was in it. He lefth7604 noh3808 survivorh8300. Thus he didh6213a to the kingh4428 of Makkedahh4719  bjusth3512c as he had doneh6213a to the kingh4428 of Jerichoh3405.

Then Joshuah3091 and allh3605 Israelh3478 with him passedh5674a on from Makkedahh4719 to  aLibnahh3841, and foughth3898a againsth5973 Libnahh3841.

30

The LORDh3068 gaveh5414 it alsoh1571 with its kingh4428 into the handsh3027 of Israelh3478, and he struckh5221 it and everyh3605 personh5315 whoh834 was in it with the edgeh6310 of the swordh2719. He lefth7604 noh3808 survivorh8300 in it. Thus he didh6213a to its kingh4428 justh3512c as he had doneh6213a to the kingh4428 of Jerichoh3405.

31

And Joshuah3091 and allh3605 Israelh3478 with him passedh5674a on from Libnahh3841 to Lachishh3923, and they campedh2583 by it and foughth3898a against it.

32

The LORDh3068 gaveh5414 Lachishh3923 into the handsh3027 of Israelh3478; and he capturedh3920 it on the secondh8145 dayh3117, and struckh5221 it and everyh3605 personh5315 whoh834 was in it with the edgeh6310 of the swordh2719, according to allh3605 that he had doneh6213a to Libnahh3841.

33

Thenh227 Horamh2036 kingh4428 of  aGezerh1507 cameh5927 up to helph5826 Lachishh3923, and Joshuah3091  1defeatedh5221 him and his peopleh5971a untilh5704 he had lefth7604 him noh1115 survivorh8300.

34

And Joshuah3091 and allh3605 Israelh3478 with him passedh5674a on from Lachishh3923 to Eglonh5700a, and they campedh2583 by it and foughth3898a againsth5921 it.

35

They capturedh3920 it on that dayh3117 and struckh5221 it with the edgeh6310 of the swordh2719; and he  1utterlyh2763a destroyedh2763a that dayh3117 everyh3605 personh5315 whoh834 was in it, according to allh3605 that he had doneh6213a to Lachishh3923.

36

Then Joshuah3091 and allh3605 Israelh3478 with him wenth5927 up from Eglonh5700a to  aHebronh2275a, and they foughth3898a againsth5921 it.

37

They capturedh3920 it and struckh5221 it and its kingh4428 and allh3605 its citiesh5892b and allh3605 the personsh5315 whoh834 were in it with the edgeh6310 of the swordh2719. He lefth7604 noh3808 survivorh8300, according to allh3605 that he had doneh6213a to Eglonh5700a. And he  1utterlyh2763a destroyedh2763a it and everyh3605 personh5315 whoh834 was in it.

38

Then Joshuah3091 and allh3605 Israelh3478 with him returnedh7725 to  aDebirh1688, and they foughth3898a againsth5921 it.

39

He capturedh3920 it and its kingh4428 and allh3605 its citiesh5892b, and they struckh5221 them with the edgeh6310 of the swordh2719, and  1utterlyh2763a destroyedh2763a everyh3605 personh5315 who was in it. He lefth7604 noh3808 survivorh8300. Justh3512c as he had doneh6213a to Hebronh2275a, soh3651 he didh6213a to Debirh1688 and its kingh4428, as he had also doneh6213a to Libnahh3841 and its kingh4428.

40

Thus Joshuah3091 struckh5221 allh3605 the landh776,  athe hillh2022 countryh2022 and the  1Negevh5045 and the lowlandh8219 and the slopesh794 and  ballh3605 their kingsh4428.
