Joshua 10:1 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek139 king4428 of Jerusalem3389 had heard8085 how3588 Joshua3091 had taken3920 Ai,5857 and had utterly destroyed2763 it; as he had done6213 to Jericho3405 and her king,4428 so he had done6213 to Ai5857 and her king;4428 and how the inhabitants3427 of Gibeon1391 had made peace7999 with Israel,3478 and were among7130 them;
2 That they feared3372 greatly,3966 because Gibeon1391was a great1419 city,5892 as one259 of the royal4467 cities,5892{Heb. cities of the kingdom} and because it was greater1419 than Ai,5857 and all the men582 thereof were mighty.13683 Wherefore Adonizedek139 king4428 of Jerusalem3389 sent7971 unto Hoham1944 king4428 of Hebron,2275 and unto Piram6502 king4428 of Jarmuth,3412 and unto Japhia3309 king4428 of Lachish,3923 and unto Debir1688 king4428 of Eglon,5700 saying,5594 Come up5927 unto me, and help5826 me, that we may smite5221 Gibeon:1391 for it hath made peace7999 with Joshua3091 and with the children1121 of Israel.34785 Therefore the five2568 kings4428 of the Amorites,567 the king4428 of Jerusalem,3389 the king4428 of Hebron,2275 the king4428 of Jarmuth,3412 the king4428 of Lachish,3923 the king4428 of Eglon,5700 gathered themselves together,622 and went up,5927 they and all their hosts,4264 and encamped2583 before Gibeon,1391 and made war3898 against it.
Joshua 10:6 And the men582 of Gibeon1391 sent7971 unto Joshua3091 to the camp4264 to Gilgal,1537 saying,559 Slack7503 not thy hand3027 from thy servants;5650 come up5927 to us quickly,4120 and save3467 us, and help5826 us: for all the kings4428 of the Amorites567 that dwell3427 in the mountains2022 are gathered together6908 against us.
7 So Joshua3091 ascended5927 from Gilgal,1537 he, and all the people5971 of war4421 with him, and all the mighty1368 men of valour.2428
Joshua 10:8 And the LORD3068 said559 unto Joshua,3091 Fear3372 them not: for I have delivered5414 them into thine hand;3027 there shall not a man376 of them stand5975 before6440 thee.
9 Joshua3091 therefore came935 unto them suddenly,6597and went up5927 from Gilgal1537 all night.391510 And the LORD3068 discomfited2000 them before6440 Israel,3478 and slew5221 them with a great1419 slaughter4347 at Gibeon,1391 and chased7291 them along the way1870 that goeth up4608 to Bethhoron,1032 and smote5221 them to Azekah,5825 and unto Makkedah.471911 And it came to pass, as they fled5127 from before6440 Israel,3478and were in the going down4174 to Bethhoron,1032 that the LORD3068 cast down7993 great1419 stones68 from heaven8064 upon them unto Azekah,5825 and they died:4191theywere more7227 which died4191 with hailstones125968 than they whom834 the children1121 of Israel3478 slew2026 with the sword.2719
Joshua 10:12 Then spake1696 Joshua3091 to the LORD3068 in the day3117 when the LORD3068 delivered up5414 the Amorites567 before6440 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and he said559 in the sight5869 of Israel,3478 Sun,8121 stand{Heb. be silent} thou still1826 upon Gibeon;1391 and thou, Moon,3394 in the valley6010 of Ajalon.35713 And the sun8121 stood still,1826 and the moon3394 stayed,5975 until the people1471 had avenged5358 themselves upon their enemies.341Is not this1931 written3789 in the book5612 of Jasher?3477 So the sun8121 stood still5975 in the midst2677 of heaven,8064 and hasted213 not to go down935 about a whole8549 day.311714 And there was no day3117 like that before6440 it or after310 it, that the LORD3068 hearkened8085 unto the voice6963 of a man:376 for the LORD3068 fought3898 for Israel.3478
Joshua 10:15 And Joshua3091 returned,7725 and all Israel3478 with him, unto the camp4264 to Gilgal.153716 But these five2568 kings4428 fled,5127 and hid2244 themselves in a cave4631 at Makkedah.471917 And it was told5046 Joshua,3091 saying,559 The five2568 kings4428 are found4672 hid2244 in a cave4631 at Makkedah.471918 And Joshua3091 said,559 Roll1556 great1419 stones68 upon the mouth6310 of the cave,4631 and set6485 men582 by it for to keep8104 them:
19 And stay5975 ye not, but pursue7291 after310 your enemies,341 and smite the hindmost2179{Heb. cut off the tail} of them; suffer5414 them not to enter935 into their cities:5892 for the LORD3068 your God430 hath delivered5414 them into your hand.302720 And it came to pass, when Joshua3091 and the children1121 of Israel3478 had made an end3615 of slaying5221 them with a very3966 great1419 slaughter,4347 till they were consumed,8552 that the rest8300which remained8277 of them entered935 into fenced4013 cities.589221 And all the people5971 returned7725 to the camp4264 to Joshua3091 at Makkedah4719 in peace:7965 none moved2782 his tongue3956 against any376 of the children1121 of Israel.3478
Joshua 10:22 Then said559 Joshua,3091 Open6605 the mouth6310 of the cave,4631 and bring out3318 those five2568 kings4428 unto me out of the cave.463123 And they did6213 so, and brought forth3318 those five2568 kings4428 unto him out of the cave,4631 the king4428 of Jerusalem,3389 the king4428 of Hebron,2275 the king4428 of Jarmuth,3412 the king4428 of Lachish,3923and the king4428 of Eglon.570024 And it came to pass, when they brought out3318 those kings4428 unto Joshua,3091 that Joshua3091 called7121 for all the men376 of Israel,3478 and said559 unto the captains7101 of the men582 of war4421 which went1980 with him, Come near,7126 put7760 your feet7272 upon the necks6677 of these kings.4428 And they came near,7126 and put7760 their feet7272 upon the necks6677 of them.
25 And Joshua3091 said559 unto them, Fear3372 not, nor be dismayed,2865 be strong2388 and of good courage:553 for thus shall the LORD3068 do6213 to all your enemies341 against whom ye fight.389826 And afterward310 Joshua3091 smote5221 them, and slew4191 them, and hanged8518 them on five2568 trees:6086 and they were hanging8518 upon the trees6086 until the evening.615327 And it came to pass at the time6256 of the going down935 of the sun,8121that Joshua3091 commanded,6680 and they took them down3381 off the trees,6086 and cast7993 them into the cave4631 wherein they had been hid,2244 and laid7760 great1419 stones68 in the cave's4631 mouth,6310whichremain until this very6106 day.3117
Joshua 10:28 And that day3117 Joshua3091 took3920 Makkedah,4719 and smote5221 it with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and the king4428 thereof he utterly destroyed,2763 them, and all the souls5315 that were therein; he let7604 none remain:8300 and he did6213 to the king4428 of Makkedah4719 as he did6213 unto the king4428 of Jericho.3405
Joshua 10:29 Then Joshua3091 passed5674 from Makkedah,4719 and all Israel3478 with him, unto Libnah,3841 and fought3898 against Libnah:384130 And the LORD3068 delivered5414 it also, and the king4428 thereof, into the hand3027 of Israel;3478 and he smote5221 it with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and all the souls5315 that were therein; he let7604 none remain8300 in it; but did6213 unto the king4428 thereof as he did6213 unto the king4428 of Jericho.3405
Joshua 10:31 And Joshua3091 passed5674 from Libnah,3841 and all Israel3478 with him, unto Lachish,3923 and encamped2583 against it, and fought3898 against it:
32 And the LORD3068 delivered5414 Lachish3923 into the hand3027 of Israel,3478 which took3920 it on the second8145 day,3117 and smote5221 it with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and all the souls5315 that were therein, according to all that he had done6213 to Libnah.3841
Joshua 10:33 Then Horam2036 king4428 of Gezer1507 came up5927 to help5826 Lachish;3923 and Joshua3091 smote5221 him and his people,5971 until he had left7604 him none remaining.8300
Joshua 10:34 And from Lachish3923 Joshua3091 passed5674 unto Eglon,5700 and all Israel3478 with him; and they encamped2583 against it, and fought3898 against it:
35 And they took3920 it on that day,3117 and smote5221 it with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and all the souls5315 that were therein he utterly destroyed2763 that day,3117 according to all that he had done6213 to Lachish.3923
Joshua 10:36 And Joshua3091 went up5927 from Eglon,5700 and all Israel3478 with him, unto Hebron;2275 and they fought3898 against it:
37 And they took3920 it, and smote5221 it with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and the king4428 thereof, and all the cities5892 thereof, and all the souls5315 that were therein; he left7604 none remaining,8300 according to all that he had done6213 to Eglon;5700 but destroyed2763 it utterly, and all the souls5315 that were therein.
Joshua 10:38 And Joshua3091 returned,7725 and all Israel3478 with him, to Debir;1688 and fought3898 against it:
39 And he took3920 it, and the king4428 thereof, and all the cities5892 thereof; and they smote5221 them with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and utterly destroyed2763 all the souls5315 that were therein; he left7604 none remaining:8300 as he had done6213 to Hebron,2275 so he did6213 to Debir,1688 and to the king4428 thereof; as he had done6213 also to Libnah,3841 and to her king.4428
Joshua 10:40 So Joshua3091 smote5221 all the country776 of the hills,2022 and of the south,5045 and of the vale,8219 and of the springs,794 and all their kings:4428 he left7604 none remaining,8300 but utterly destroyed2763 all that breathed,5397 as the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 commanded.668041 And Joshua3091 smote5221 them from Kadeshbarnea6947 even unto Gaza,5804 and all the country776 of Goshen,1657 even unto Gibeon.139142 And all these kings4428 and their land776 did Joshua3091 take3920 at one259 time,6471 because the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 fought3898 for Israel.347843 And Joshua3091 returned,7725 and all Israel3478 with him, unto the camp4264 to Gilgal.1537
