And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah.

וַיֻּגַּ֖ד (וַ) va “and”

And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

But do you, without waiting, go after their army, attacking them from the back; do not let them get into their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hands.

וְזִנַּבְתֶּ֖ם (וְ) ve. “and”

Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction, and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns,

וַיְהִי֩ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ (וַ) va “and”

All the people went back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Makkedah in peace: and no one said a word against the children of Israel.

וַיָּשֻׁבוּ֩ (וַ) va “and”

Then Joshua said, Take away the stones from the mouth of the hole in the rock, and make those five kings come out to me.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And they did so, and made those five kings come out of the hole to him, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

וַיַּ֣עֲשׂוּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּצִ֣יאוּ (וַ) va “and”

And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near and put their feet on

וַ֠יְהִי (וַ֠) Va “and”וַיִּקְרָ֨א (וַ) va “and”וַ֠יֹּאמֶר (וַ֠) Va “and”וַֽיִּקְרְב֔וּ (וַֽ) va “and”וַיָּשִׂ֥ימוּ (וַ) va “and”

And Joshua said to them, Have no fear and do not be troubled; be strong and take heart: for so will the Lord do to all against whom you make war.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then Joshua had them put to death, hanging them on five trees, where they were till evening.

And when the sun went down, they were taken down from the trees, by Joshua's orders, and put into the hole where they had gone to be safe; and great stones were placed at the mouth of the hole, where they are to this day.

וַיְהִ֞י (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּֽרִידוּם֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֨שְׁלִכֻ֔ם (וַ) va “and”וַיָּשִׂ֜מוּ (וַ) va “and”

And again the Lord gave it and its king into the hands of Israel; and he put it and every person in it to the sword, till their destruction was complete; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Libnah to Lachish, and took up their position against it and made an attack on it,

וַיַּעֲבֹ֣ר (וַ) va “and”וַיִּ֣חַן (וַ) va “and”וַיִּלָּ֖חֶם (וַ) va “and”

And the Lord gave Lachish into the hands of Israel, and on the second day he took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword without mercy, as he had done to Libnah.

וַיַּ֣עַל (וַ) va “and”וַיִּֽלָּחֲמ֖וּ (וַ) va “and”

And took it, overcoming it and putting it and its king and its towns and every person in it to the sword: as he had done to Eglon, he put them all to death, and gave it up to the curse with every person in it.
