those five kings to me out of the cave.
010:023 They did so, and brought forth those five kings to him out
of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron,
the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
010:024 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.
010:025 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.
010:026 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.
010:027 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.
010:028 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

010:031 Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish,
and encamped against it, and fought against it:
010:032 and Yahweh delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel;
and he took it on the second day, and struck it with
the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were therein,
according to all that he had done to Libnah.
010:033 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua
struck him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.

of the sword; and all the souls who were therein he utterly
destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
010:036 Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron;
