Joshua 10:2-5
10:2 All Jerusalem was terrified
because Gibeon was a large city, like one of the royal cities. It was larger than Ai and all its men were warriors.
10:3 So King Adoni-Zedek of Jerusalem sent this message to King Hoham of Hebron, King Piram of Jarmuth, King Japhia of Lachish, and King Debir of Eglon:
10:4 “Come to my aid
so we can attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
10:5 So the five Amorite kings (the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon) and all their troops gathered together and advanced. They deployed their troops and fought against Gibeon.
Joshua 10:23
10:23 They did as ordered;
they brought the five kings
out of the cave to him – the kings of Jerusalem,
Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
Joshua 10:28-39
Joshua Launches a Southern Campaign
10:28 That day Joshua captured Makkedah and put the sword to it and its king. He annihilated everyone who lived in it; he left no survivors. He did to its king what he had done to the king of Jericho.
10:29 Joshua and all Israel marched from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against it.
10:30 The Lord handed it and its king over to Israel, and Israel put the sword to all who lived there; they left no survivors. They did to its king what they had done to the king of Jericho.
