Then Joshua sent for them, and said to them, Why have you been false to us, saying, We are very far from you, when you are living among us?

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And, answering Joshua, they said, Because it came to the ears of your servants that the Lord your God had given orders to his servant Moses to give you all this land, and to send destruction on all the people living in it, because of you; so, fearing gre

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And that day Joshua made them servants, cutting wood and getting water for the people and for the altar of the Lord, in the place marked out by him, to this day.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, that Joshua had taken Ai, and had given it up to the curse (for as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king); and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with

יְהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Come up to me and give me help, and let us make an attack on Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together against us.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֤עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

So Joshua went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them, for I have given them into your hands; they will all give way before you.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

It was on the day when the Lord gave up the Amorites into the hands of the children of Israel that Joshua said to the Lord, before the eyes of Israel, Sun, be at rest over Gibeon; and you, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon.

יְהוֹשֻׁעַ֙ ye.ho.shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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

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

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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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,

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֛עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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

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

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.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֤עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it;

יְ֠הוֹשֻׁעַ Ye.ho.shu.a' “Joshua”

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,

יְ֠הוֹשֻׁעַ Ye.ho.shu.a' “Joshua”

Then Horam, king of Gezer, came up to the help of Lachish; and Joshua overcame him and his people, putting all of them to death.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Lachish to Eglon: and they took up their position against it and made an attack on it;
