And Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, Why have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were greatly afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even to this day, in the place which he should choose.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedec 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;

יְהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp at 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 assembled against us.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֤עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the LORD said to Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Joshua therefore came to them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then spoke 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.

יְהוֹשֻׁעַ֙ ye.ho.shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.

לִיהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ (יהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ) ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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 who remained of them entered into fortified cities.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֛עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings to me out of the cave.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who 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.

יְהוֹשֻׁעַ֒ ye.ho.shu.a' “Joshua”יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua said to 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.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֤עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And it came to pass at the time of the setting of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and cast them into the cave in which they had been hid, and laid great stones upon the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king of it he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were in it; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah:

יְ֠הוֹשֻׁעַ Ye.ho.shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:

יְ֠הוֹשֻׁעַ Ye.ho.shu.a' “Joshua”

Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And from Lachish Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:

יְ֠הוֹשֻׁעַ Ye.ho.shu.a' “Joshua”
