Bible. Joshua
06:010:010 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them
with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the
way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and
unto Makkedah.
06:010:011 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were
in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great
stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they
were more which died with hailstones than they whom the
children of Israel slew with the sword.
06:010:012 Then spake 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 Ajalon.
06:010:013 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people
had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written
in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of
heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
06:010:014 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the
LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought
for Israel.
06:010:015 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to
Gilgal.
06:010:016 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at
Makkedah.
06:010:017 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid
in a cave at Makkedah.
06:010:018 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave,
and set men by it for to keep them:
06:010:019 And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the
hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities:
for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.
06:010:020 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, that the rest which remained of them
entered into fenced cities.
06:010:021 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah
in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of
Israel.
06:010:022 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out
those five kings unto me out of the cave.
06:010:023 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him
out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron,
the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of
Eglon.
