1 Now Adoni-zedekking of Jerusalemheard that Joshuahad captured Aiand devoted it to destruction10:1 Forms of the Hebrew cherem refer to the giving over of things or persons to the LORD, either by destroying them or by giving them as an offering; also in verses 28, 35, 37, 39, and 40.— doing to Aiand its king as he had done to Jerichoand its king — and that the people of Gibeonhad made peace with Israel and were living near them. 2 So Adoni-zedek and his people were greatly alarmed, because Gibeonwas a great city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
3 Therefore Adoni-zedekking of Jerusalemsent word to Hohamking of Hebron, Piramking of Jarmuth, Japhiaking of Lachish, and Debirking of Eglon, saying, 4 "Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshuaand the Israelites."
5 So the five kings of the Amorites— the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon— joined forces and advanced with all their armies. They camped before Gibeonand made war against it.
6 Then the men of Gibeonsent word to Joshuain the camp at Gilgal: "Do not abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us."
7 So Joshuaand his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.
8 The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them, for I have delivered them into your hand. Not one of them shall stand against you."
9 After marching all night from Gilgal, Joshuacaught them by surprise. 10 And the LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, pursued them along the ascent to Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekahand Makkedah. 11 As they fled before Israelalong the descent from Beth-horonto Azekah, the LORD cast down on them large hailstones from the sky, and more of them were killed by the hailstones than by the swords of the Israelites.
12 On the day that the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshuaspoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel:
"O sun, stand still over Gibeon,
O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon."10:12 See Jasher 88:63.
13 So the sun stood still
and the moon stopped
until the nation took vengeance
upon its enemies.10:13 Or triumphed over its enemies
Is this not written in the Book of Jashar?10:13 Or the Book of the Upright One, commonly cited as Jasher
"So the sun stopped
in the middle of the sky
and delayed going down
about a full day."10:13 See Jasher 88:64.
14 There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man, because the LORD fought for Israel.
15 Then Joshuareturned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
The Victory at Makkedah
16 Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah. 17 And Joshuawas informed: "The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah."
18 So Joshuasaid, "Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them. 19 But you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand."
20 So Joshuaand the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities. 21 The whole army returned safely to Joshuain the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
22 Then Joshuasaid, "Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me." 23 So they brought the five kings out of the cave — the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
24 When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, "Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings."
So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
25 "Do not be afraid or discouraged," Joshuasaid. "Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight."
26 After this, Joshuastruck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees10:26 Or impaled their bodies on five poles; similarly in verse 27and left them there until evening. 27 At sunset Joshuaordered that they be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave in which they had hidden. Then large stones were placed against the mouth of the cave, and the stones are there to this day.
28 On that day Joshuacaptured Makkedahand put it to the sword, along with its king. He devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. So he did to the king of Makkedahas he had done to the king of Jericho.
Conquest of the Southern Cities
29 Then Joshuaand all Israel with him moved on from Makkedahto Libnahand fought against Libnah. 30 And the LORD also delivered that city and its king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the king of Libnahas he had done to the king of Jericho.
31 And Joshuaand all Israel with him moved on from Libnahto Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it. 32 And the LORD delivered Lachishinto the hand of Israel, and Joshua captured it on the second day. He put all the people to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.
33 At that time Horamking of Gezerwent to help Lachish, but Joshuastruck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
34 So Joshuamoved on from Lachishto Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it. 35 That day they captured Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction everyone in the city, just as he had done to Lachish.
36 Then Joshuaand all Israel with him went up from Eglonto Hebronand fought against it. 37 They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebronand everyone in it.
38 Finally Joshuaand all Israel with him turned toward Debirand fought against it. 39 And they captured Debir, its king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debirand its king as he had done to Hebronand as he had done to Libnahand its king.
40 So Joshuaconquered the whole region— the hill country, the Negev, the foothills,10:40 Hebrew Shephelah or lowlands; that is, the western foothills of Judeaand the slopes, together with all their kings— leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded. 41 Joshuaconquered the area from Kadesh-barneato Gaza, and the whole region of Goshenas far as Gibeon.
42 And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshuacaptured all these kings and their land in one campaign. 43 Then Joshuareturned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
