It was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.

וַיֻּגַּ֖ד (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

but don't stay; pursue after your enemies, and strike the hindmost of them; don't allow them to enter into their cities: for Yahweh your God has delivered them into your hand.

וְזִנַּבְתֶּ֖ם (וְ) ve. “and”

It happened, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of killing them with a very great slaughter, until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

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

that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

וַיָּשֻׁבוּ֩ (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

They did so, and brought forth those five kings to him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.

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

It happened, when they brought forth those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings. They came near, and put their feet on the necks of them.

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

Joshua said to them, Don't be afraid, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall Yahweh do to all your enemies against whom you fight.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Afterward Joshua struck them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging on the trees until the evening.
