10:17. And it was told Josue, that the five kings were found hid in a
cave of the city of Maceda.
10:18. And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great
stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men to keep them shut
up:
10:19. And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the
hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord
God hath delivered into your hands, to shelter themselves in their
cities.
10:20. So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost
utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered
into fenced cities.
10:21. And all the army returned to Josue, in Maceda, where the camp
then was, in good health, and without the loss of any one: and no man
durst move his tongue against the children of Israel.
10:22. And Josue gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and
bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein.
10:23. And the ministers did as they were commanded: and they brought
out to him the five kings out of the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the
king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of
Eglon.
10:24. And when they were brought out to him, he called all the men of
Israel, and said to the chiefs of the army that were with him: Go, and
set your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and
put their feet upon the necks of them lying under them,
10:25. He said again to them: Fear not, neither be ye dismayed, take
courage, and be strong: for so will the Lord do to all your enemies,
against whom you fight.
10:26. And Josue struck, and slew them, and hanged them upon five
gibbets; and they hung until the evening.
10:27. And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them
down from the gibbets. And after they were taken down, they cast them
into the cave, where they had lain hid, and put great stones at the
mouth thereof, which remain until this day.
10:28. The same day Josue took Maceda, and destroyed it with the edge of
the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left
not in it the least remains. And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had
done to the king of Jericho.
10:29. And he passed from Maceda with all Israel to Lebna, and fought
against it:
10:30. And the Lord delivered it with the king thereof into the hands of
Israel: and they destroyed the city with the edge of the sword, and all
the inhabitants thereof. They left not in it any remains. And they did
to the king of Lebna, as they had done to the king of Jericho.
10:31. From Lebna he passed unto Lachis, with all Israel: and investing
it with his army, besieged it.
10:32. And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel, and he
took it the following day, and put it to the sword, and every soul that
was in it, as he had done to Lebna.
10:33. At that time Horam, king of Gazer, came up to succour Lachis: and
Josue slew him with all his people so as to leave none alive.
10:34. And he passed from Lachis to Eglon, and surrounded it,
10:35. And took it the same day: and put to the sword all the souls that
were in it, according to all that he had done to Lachis.
10:36. He went up also with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron, and fought
against it:
10:37. Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king
also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that
dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon,
so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it.
