Now when the news came to all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites living by the sea, how the Lord had made the waters of Jordan dry before the children of Israel, till they had gone across, their hear

And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hands Jericho with its king and all its men of war.

מַלְכָּ֑הּ (מַלְכָּ֑) mal.Ka “king”

Then the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear and do not be troubled: take with you all the fighting-men and go up against Ai: for I have given into your hands the king of Ai and his people and his town and his land:

מֶ֤לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

And you are to do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king: but their goods and their cattle you may take for yourselves: let a secret force be stationed to make a surprise attack on the town from the back.

וּלְמַלְכָּ֗הּ (מַלְכָּ֗) mal.Ka “king”וּלְמַלְכָּ֔הּ (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”

Now when the king of Ai saw it, he got up quickly and went out to war against Israel, he and all his people, to the slope going down to the valley; but he had no idea that a secret force was waiting at the back of the town.

But the king of Ai they made prisoner, and took him to Joshua.

And he put the king of Ai to death, hanging him on a tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave them orders to take his body down from the tree, and put it in the public place of the town, covering it with a great mass of stones, which is

Now on hearing the news of these things, all the kings on the west side of Jordan, in the hill-country and the lowlands and by the Great Sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusite

And what he did to the two kings of the Amorites east of Jordan, to Sihon, king of Heshbon, and to Og, king of Bashan, at Ashtaroth.

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

So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying,

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position before Gibeon and made war a

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.

But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah.

הַמְּלָכִ֣ים (מְּלָכִ֣ים) me.la.Khim “kings”

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

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.

הַמְּלָכִ֥ים (מְּלָכִ֥ים) me.la.Khim “kings”

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.

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

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.

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

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

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.

מַלְכָּ֨הּ (מַלְכָּ֨) mal.Ka “king”

And he took it, with its king and all its towns: and he put them to the sword, giving every person in it to the curse; all were put to death: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king.

So Joshua overcame all the land, the hill-country and the South and the lowland and the mountain slopes, and all their kings; all were put to death: and every living thing he gave up to the curse, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.

מַלְכֵיהֶ֔ם (מַלְכֵי) mal.khei. “kings”

And all these kings and their land Joshua took at the same time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for Israel.
