Joshua 10:1-43

10:1
Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek
<0139>
king
<04428>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
had heard
<08085> (8800)
how
<03588>
Joshua
<03091>
had taken
<03920> (8804)
Ai
<05857>_,
and had utterly destroyed
<02763> (8686)
it; as he had done
<06213> (8804)
to Jericho
<03405>
and her king
<04428>_,
so he had done
<06213> (8804)
to Ai
<05857>
and her king
<04428>_;
and how the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Gibeon
<01391>
had made peace
<07999> (8689)
with Israel
<03478>_,
and were among
<07130>
them;
10:2
That they feared
<03372> (8799)
greatly
<03966>_,
because Gibeon
<01391>
[was] a great
<01419>
city
<05892>_,
as one
<0259>
of the royal
<04467>
cities
<05892>_,
and because it [was] greater
<01419>
than Ai
<05857>_,
and all the men
<0582>
thereof [were] mighty
<01368>_.
{royal...: Heb. cities of the kingdom}
10:3
Wherefore Adonizedek
<0139>
king
<04428>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
sent
<07971> (8799)
unto Hoham
<01944>
king
<04428>
of Hebron
<02275>_,
and unto Piram
<06502>
king
<04428>
of Jarmuth
<03412>_,
and unto Japhia
<03309>
king
<04428>
of Lachish
<03923>_,
and unto Debir
<01688>
king
<04428>
of Eglon
<05700>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
10:4
Come up
<05927> (8798)
unto me, and help
<05826> (8798)
me, that we may smite
<05221> (8686)
Gibeon
<01391>_:
for it hath made peace
<07999> (8689)
with Joshua
<03091>
and with the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
10:5
Therefore the five
<02568>
kings
<04428>
of the Amorites
<0567>_,
the king
<04428>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
the king
<04428>
of Hebron
<02275>_,
the king
<04428>
of Jarmuth
<03412>_,
the king
<04428>
of Lachish
<03923>_,
the king
<04428>
of Eglon
<05700>_,
gathered themselves together
<0622> (8735)_,
and went up
<05927> (8799)_,
they and all their hosts
<04264>_,
and encamped
<02583> (8799)
before Gibeon
<01391>_,
and made war
<03898> (8735)
against it.
10:6
And the men
<0582>
of Gibeon
<01391>
sent
<07971> (8799)
unto Joshua
<03091>
to the camp
<04264>
to Gilgal
<01537>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Slack
<07503> (8686)
not thy hand
<03027>
from thy servants
<05650>_;
come up
<05927> (8798)
to us quickly
<04120>_,
and save
<03467> (8685)
us, and help
<05826> (8798)
us: for all the kings
<04428>
of the Amorites
<0567>
that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the mountains
<02022>
are gathered together
<06908> (8738)
against us.
10:7
So Joshua
<03091>
ascended
<05927> (8799)
from Gilgal
<01537>_,
he, and all the people
<05971>
of war
<04421>
with him, and all the mighty
<01368>
men of valour
<02428>_.
10:8
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joshua
<03091>_,
Fear
<03372> (8799)
them not: for I have delivered
<05414> (8804)
them into thine hand
<03027>_;
there shall not a man
<0376>
of them stand
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
thee.
10:9
Joshua
<03091>
therefore came
<0935> (8799)
unto them suddenly
<06597>_,
[and] went up
<05927> (8804)
from Gilgal
<01537>
all night
<03915>_.
10:10
And the LORD
<03068>
discomfited
<02000> (8799)
them before
<06440>
Israel
<03478>_,
and slew
<05221> (8686)
them with a great
<01419>
slaughter
<04347>
at Gibeon
<01391>_,
and chased
<07291> (8799)
them along the way
<01870>
that goeth up
<04608>
to Bethhoron
<01032>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
them to Azekah
<05825>_,
and unto Makkedah
<04719>_.
10:11
And it came to pass, as they fled
<05127> (8800)
from before
<06440>
Israel
<03478>_,
[and] were in the going down
<04174>
to Bethhoron
<01032>_,
that the LORD
<03068>
cast down
<07993> (8689)
great
<01419>
stones
<068>
from heaven
<08064>
upon them unto Azekah
<05825>_,
and they died
<04191> (8799)_:
[they were] more
<07227>
which died
<04191> (8804)
with hailstones
<01259> <068>
than [they] whom
<0834>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
slew
<02026> (8804)
with the sword
<02719>_.
10:12
Then spake
<01696> (8762)
Joshua
<03091>
to the LORD
<03068>
in the day
<03117>
when the LORD
<03068>
delivered up
<05414> (8800)
the Amorites
<0567>
before
<06440>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and he said
<0559> (8799)
in the sight
<05869>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Sun
<08121>_,
stand thou still
<01826> (8798)
upon Gibeon
<01391>_;
and thou, Moon
<03394>_,
in the valley
<06010>
of Ajalon
<0357>_.
{stand...: Heb. be silent}
10:13
And the sun
<08121>
stood still
<01826> (8799)_,
and the moon
<03394>
stayed
<05975> (8804)_,
until the people
<01471>
had avenged
<05358> (8799)
themselves upon their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
[Is] not this
<01931>
written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of Jasher
<03477>_?
So the sun
<08121>
stood still
<05975> (8799)
in the midst
<02677>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and hasted
<0213> (8804)
not to go down
<0935> (8800)
about a whole
<08549>
day
<03117>_.
{Jasher: or, the upright?}
10:14
And there was no day
<03117>
like that before
<06440>
it or after
<0310>
it, that the LORD
<03068>
hearkened
<08085> (8800)
unto the voice
<06963>
of a man
<0376>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
fought
<03898> (8737)
for Israel
<03478>_.
10:15
And Joshua
<03091>
returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him, unto the camp
<04264>
to Gilgal
<01537>_.
10:16
But these five
<02568>
kings
<04428>
fled
<05127> (8799)_,
and hid
<02244> (8735)
themselves in a cave
<04631>
at Makkedah
<04719>_.
10:17
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
Joshua
<03091>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The five
<02568>
kings
<04428>
are found
<04672> (8738)
hid
<02244> (8737)
in a cave
<04631>
at Makkedah
<04719>_.
10:18
And Joshua
<03091>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Roll
<01556> (8798)
great
<01419>
stones
<068>
upon the mouth
<06310>
of the cave
<04631>_,
and set
<06485> (8685)
men
<0582>
by it for to keep
<08104> (8800)
them:
10:19
And stay
<05975> (8799)
ye not, [but] pursue
<07291> (8798)
after
<0310>
your enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and smite the hindmost
<02179> (8765)
of them; suffer
<05414> (8799)
them not to enter
<0935> (8800)
into their cities
<05892>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
them into your hand
<03027>_.
{smite...: Heb. cut off the tail}
10:20
And it came to pass, when Joshua
<03091>
and the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
had made an end
<03615> (8763)
of slaying
<05221> (8687)
them with a very
<03966>
great
<01419>
slaughter
<04347>_,
till they were consumed
<08552> (8800)_,
that the rest
<08300>
[which] remained
<08277> (8804)
of them entered
<0935> (8799)
into fenced
<04013>
cities
<05892>_.
10:21
And all the people
<05971>
returned
<07725> (8799)
to the camp
<04264>
to Joshua
<03091>
at Makkedah
<04719>
in peace
<07965>_:
none moved
<02782> (8804)
his tongue
<03956>
against any
<0376>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
10:22
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Joshua
<03091>_,
Open
<06605> (8798)
the mouth
<06310>
of the cave
<04631>_,
and bring out
<03318> (8685)
those five
<02568>
kings
<04428>
unto me out of the cave
<04631>_.
10:23
And they did
<06213> (8799)
so, and brought forth
<03318> (8686)
those five
<02568>
kings
<04428>
unto him out of the cave
<04631>_,
the king
<04428>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
the king
<04428>
of Hebron
<02275>_,
the king
<04428>
of Jarmuth
<03412>_,
the king
<04428>
of Lachish
<03923>_,
[and] the king
<04428>
of Eglon
<05700>_.
10:24
And it came to pass, when they brought out
<03318> (8687)
those kings
<04428>
unto Joshua
<03091>_,
that Joshua
<03091>
called
<07121> (8799)
for all the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto the captains
<07101>
of the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
which went
<01980> (8804)
with him, Come near
<07126> (8798)_,
put
<07760> (8798)
your feet
<07272>
upon the necks
<06677>
of these kings
<04428>_.
And they came near
<07126> (8799)_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
their feet
<07272>
upon the necks
<06677>
of them.
10:25
And Joshua
<03091>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Fear
<03372> (8799)
not, nor be dismayed
<02865> (8735)_,
be strong
<02388> (8798)
and of good courage
<0553> (8798)_:
for thus shall the LORD
<03068>
do
<06213> (8799)
to all your enemies
<0341> (8802)
against whom ye fight
<03898> (8737)_.
10:26
And afterward
<0310>
Joshua
<03091>
smote
<05221> (8686)
them, and slew
<04191> (8686)
them, and hanged
<08518> (8799)
them on five
<02568>
trees
<06086>_:
and they were hanging
<08518> (8803)
upon the trees
<06086>
until the evening
<06153>_.
10:27
And it came to pass at the time
<06256>
of the going down
<0935> (8800)
of the sun
<08121>_,
[that] Joshua
<03091>
commanded
<06680> (8765)_,
and they took them down
<03381> (8686)
off the trees
<06086>_,
and cast
<07993> (8686)
them into the cave
<04631>
wherein they had been hid
<02244> (8738)_,
and laid
<07760> (8799)
great
<01419>
stones
<068>
in the cave's
<04631>
mouth
<06310>_,
[which remain] until this very
<06106>
day
<03117>_.
10:28
And that day
<03117>
Joshua
<03091>
took
<03920> (8804)
Makkedah
<04719>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
it with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
and the king
<04428>
thereof he utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)_,
them, and all the souls
<05315>
that [were] therein; he let
<07604> (8689)
none remain
<08300>_:
and he did
<06213> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
of Makkedah
<04719>
as he did
<06213> (8804)
unto the king
<04428>
of Jericho
<03405>_.
10:29
Then Joshua
<03091>
passed
<05674> (8799)
from Makkedah
<04719>_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him, unto Libnah
<03841>_,
and fought
<03898> (8735)
against Libnah
<03841>_:
10:30
And the LORD
<03068>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
it also, and the king
<04428>
thereof, into the hand
<03027>
of Israel
<03478>_;
and he smote
<05221> (8686)
it with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
and all the souls
<05315>
that [were] therein; he let
<07604> (8689)
none remain
<08300>
in it; but did
<06213> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>
thereof as he did
<06213> (8804)
unto the king
<04428>
of Jericho
<03405>_.
10:31
And Joshua
<03091>
passed
<05674> (8799)
from Libnah
<03841>_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him, unto Lachish
<03923>_,
and encamped
<02583> (8799)
against it, and fought
<03898> (8735)
against it:
10:32
And the LORD
<03068>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
Lachish
<03923>
into the hand
<03027>
of Israel
<03478>_,
which took
<03920> (8799)
it on the second
<08145>
day
<03117>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
it with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
and all the souls
<05315>
that [were] therein, according to all that he had done
<06213> (8804)
to Libnah
<03841>_.
10:33
Then Horam
<02036>
king
<04428>
of Gezer
<01507>
came up
<05927> (8804)
to help
<05826> (8800)
Lachish
<03923>_;
and Joshua
<03091>
smote
<05221> (8686)
him and his people
<05971>_,
until he had left
<07604> (8689)
him none remaining
<08300>_.
10:34
And from Lachish
<03923>
Joshua
<03091>
passed
<05674> (8799)
unto Eglon
<05700>_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him; and they encamped
<02583> (8799)
against it, and fought
<03898> (8735)
against it:
10:35
And they took
<03920> (8799)
it on that day
<03117>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
it with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
and all the souls
<05315>
that [were] therein he utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)
that day
<03117>_,
according to all that he had done
<06213> (8804)
to Lachish
<03923>_.
10:36
And Joshua
<03091>
went up
<05927> (8799)
from Eglon
<05700>_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him, unto Hebron
<02275>_;
and they fought
<03898> (8735)
against it:
10:37
And they took
<03920> (8799)
it, and smote
<05221> (8686)
it with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
and the king
<04428>
thereof, and all the cities
<05892>
thereof, and all the souls
<05315>
that [were] therein; he left
<07604> (8689)
none remaining
<08300>_,
according to all that he had done
<06213> (8804)
to Eglon
<05700>_;
but destroyed
<02763> (8686)
it utterly, and all the souls
<05315>
that [were] therein.
10:38
And Joshua
<03091>
returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him, to Debir
<01688>_;
and fought
<03898> (8735)
against it:
10:39
And he took
<03920> (8799)
it, and the king
<04428>
thereof, and all the cities
<05892>
thereof; and they smote
<05221> (8686)
them with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
and utterly destroyed
<02763> (8686)
all the souls
<05315>
that [were] therein; he left
<07604> (8689)
none remaining
<08300>_:
as he had done
<06213> (8804)
to Hebron
<02275>_,
so he did
<06213> (8804)
to Debir
<01688>_,
and to the king
<04428>
thereof; as he had done
<06213> (8804)
also to Libnah
<03841>_,
and to her king
<04428>_.

So Joshua
<03091>
smote
<05221> (8686)
all the country
<0776>
of the hills
<02022>_,
and of the south
<05045>_,
and of the vale
<08219>_,
and of the springs
<0794>_,
and all their kings
<04428>_:
he left
<07604> (8689)
none remaining
<08300>_,
but utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)
all that breathed
<05397>_,
as the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
commanded
<06680> (8765)_.

And Joshua
<03091>
smote
<05221> (8686)
them from Kadeshbarnea
<06947>
even unto Gaza
<05804>_,
and all the country
<0776>
of Goshen
<01657>_,
even unto Gibeon
<01391>_.

And all these kings
<04428>
and their land
<0776>
did Joshua
<03091>
take
<03920> (8804)
at one
<0259>
time
<06471>_,
because the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
fought
<03898> (8737)
for Israel
<03478>_.
10:43
And Joshua
<03091>
returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him, unto the camp
<04264>
to Gilgal
<01537>_.
