And Joshua called for them, and he spoke unto them, saying: 'Wherefore have ye beguiled 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 that 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 sore afraid

Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem 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,

יְהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

'Come up unto me, and help me, and let us smite Gibeon; for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.'

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.

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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly; for he went up from Gilgal all the night.

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 Aijalon.'

יְהוֹשֻׁעַ֙ ye.ho.shu.a' “Joshua”

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

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, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace; none whetted 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 forth those five kings unto me out of the cave.'

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war that went with him: 'Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings.' And they came nea

And Joshua said unto 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.'

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