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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

They answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told your servants, how that Yahweh your 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 for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

That day Joshua made those wood cutters and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of Yahweh, to this day, in the place which he should choose.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Now it happened, 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, and were among them;

יְהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Come up to me, and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Don't slack your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered together against us.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֤עַ 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 valor.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Yahweh said to Joshua, Don't fear them: for I have delivered them into your hands; there shall not a man of them stand before you.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Joshua therefore came on them suddenly; [ergänzt: for] he went up from Gilgal all the night.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then spoke Joshua to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand you still on Gibeon; You, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.

יְהוֹשֻׁעַ֙ ye.ho.shu.a' “Joshua”

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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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

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

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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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,

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֛עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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.

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

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.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֤עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

It happened at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, to this very day.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and the king of it: he utterly destroyed them and all the souls who were therein; he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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

יְ֠הוֹשֻׁעַ Ye.ho.shu.a' “Joshua”

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 struck him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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

יְ֠הוֹשֻׁעַ Ye.ho.shu.a' “Joshua”
