Joshua 10:1--11:23

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;
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}
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)_,
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>_.
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.
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.
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>_.
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.
Joshua
<03091>
therefore came
<0935> (8799)
unto them suddenly
<06597>_,
[and] went up
<05927> (8804)
from Gilgal
<01537>
all night
<03915>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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?}
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>_.
And Joshua
<03091>
returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him, unto the camp
<04264>
to Gilgal
<01537>_.
But these five
<02568>
kings
<04428>
fled
<05127> (8799)_,
and hid
<02244> (8735)
themselves in a cave
<04631>
at Makkedah
<04719>_.
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>_.
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:
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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)_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_:
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>_.
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:
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>_.
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>_.
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:
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>_.
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:
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.
And Joshua
<03091>
returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him, to Debir
<01688>_;
and fought
<03898> (8735)
against it:
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>_.
And Joshua
<03091>
returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him, unto the camp
<04264>
to Gilgal
<01537>_.
And it came to pass, when Jabin
<02985>
king
<04428>
of Hazor
<02674>
had heard
<08085> (8800)
[those things], that he sent
<07971> (8799)
to Jobab
<03103>
king
<04428>
of Madon
<04068>_,
and to the king
<04428>
of Shimron
<08110>_,
and to the king
<04428>
of Achshaph
<0407>_,
And to the kings
<04428>
that [were] on the north
<06828>
of the mountains
<02022>_,
and of the plains
<06160>
south
<05045>
of Chinneroth
<03672>_,
and in the valley
<08219>_,
and in the borders
<05299>
of Dor
<01756>
on the west
<03220>_,
[And to] the Canaanite
<03669>
on the east
<04217>
and on the west
<03220>_,
and [to] the Amorite
<0567>_,
and the Hittite
<02850>_,
and the Perizzite
<06522>_,
and the Jebusite
<02983>
in the mountains
<02022>_,
and [to] the Hivite
<02340>
under Hermon
<02768>
in the land
<0776>
of Mizpeh
<04709>_.
And they went out
<03318> (8799)_,
they and all their hosts
<04264>
with them, much
<07227>
people
<05971>_,
even as the sand
<02344>
that [is] upon the sea
<03220>
shore
<08193>
in multitude
<07230>_,
with horses
<05483>
and chariots
<07393>
very
<03966>
many
<07227>_.
And when all these kings
<04428>
were met together
<03259> (8735)_,
they came
<0935> (8799)
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
together
<03162>
at the waters
<04325>
of Merom
<04792>_,
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against Israel
<03478>_.
{met...: Heb. assembled by appointment}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joshua
<03091>_,
Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)
because
<06440>
of them: for to morrow
<04279>
about this time
<06256>
will I deliver them up
<05414> (8802)
all slain
<02491>
before
<06440>
Israel
<03478>_:
thou shalt hough
<06131> (8762)
their horses
<05483>_,
and burn
<08313> (8799)
their chariots
<04818>
with fire
<0784>_.
So Joshua
<03091>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
and all the people
<05971>
of war
<04421>
with him, against them by the waters
<04325>
of Merom
<04792>
suddenly
<06597>_;
and they fell upon
<05307> (8799)
them.
And the LORD
<03068>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Israel
<03478>_,
who smote
<05221> (8686)
them, and chased
<07291> (8799)
them unto great
<07227>
Zidon
<06721>_,
and unto Misrephothmaim
<04956>_,
and unto the valley
<01237>
of Mizpeh
<04708>
eastward
<04217>_;
and they smote
<05221> (8686)
them, until they left
<07604> (8689)
them none remaining
<08300>_.
{great Zidon: or, Zidonrabbah} {Misrephothmaim: or, Salt pits: Heb. Burnings of waters}
And Joshua
<03091>
did
<06213> (8799)
unto them as the LORD
<03068>
bade
<0559> (8804)
him: he houghed
<06131> (8765)
their horses
<05483>_,
and burnt
<08313> (8804)
their chariots
<04818>
with fire
<0784>_.
And Joshua
<03091>
at that time
<06256>
turned back
<07725> (8799)_,
and took
<03920> (8799)
Hazor
<02674>_,
and smote
<05221> (8689)
the king
<04428>
thereof with the sword
<02719>_:
for Hazor
<02674>
beforetime
<06440>
was the head
<07218>
of all those kingdoms
<04467>_.
And they smote
<05221> (8686)
all the souls
<05315>
that [were] therein with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
utterly destroying
<02763> (8687)
[them]: there was not any left
<03498> (8738)
to breathe
<05397>_:
and he burnt
<08313> (8804)
Hazor
<02674>
with fire
<0784>_.
{any...: Heb. any breath}
And all the cities
<05892>
of those kings
<04428>_,
and all the kings
<04428>
of them, did Joshua
<03091>
take
<03920> (8804)_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
them with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
[and] he utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)
them, as Moses
<04872>
the servant
<05650>
of the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)_.
But [as for] the cities
<05892>
that stood
<05975> (8802)
still in their strength
<08510>_,
Israel
<03478>
burned
<08313> (8804)
none of them, save
<02108>
Hazor
<02674>
only; [that] did Joshua
<03091>
burn
<08313> (8804)_.
{in their...: Heb. on their heap}
And all the spoil
<07998>
of these cities
<05892>_,
and the cattle
<0929>_,
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
took for a prey
<0962> (8804)
unto themselves; but every man
<0120>
they smote
<05221> (8689)
with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
until they had destroyed
<08045> (8687)
them, neither left
<07604> (8689)
they any to breathe
<05397>_.
As the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
Moses
<04872>
his servant
<05650>_,
so did Moses
<04872>
command
<06680> (8765)
Joshua
<03091>_,
and so did
<06213> (8804)
Joshua
<03091>_;
he left
<05493> (0)
nothing
<01697>
undone
<05493> (8689)
of all that the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
Moses
<04872>_.
{left...: Heb. removed nothing}
So Joshua
<03091>
took
<03947> (8799)
all that land
<0776>_,
the hills
<02022>_,
and all the south country
<05045>_,
and all the land
<0776>
of Goshen
<01657>_,
and the valley
<08219>_,
and the plain
<06160>_,
and the mountain
<02022>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and the valley
<08219>
of the same;
[Even] from the mount
<02022>
Halak
<02510>_,
that goeth up
<05927> (8802)
to Seir
<08165>_,
even unto Baalgad
<01171>
in the valley
<01237>
of Lebanon
<03844>
under mount
<02022>
Hermon
<02768>_:
and all their kings
<04428>
he took
<03920> (8804)_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
them, and slew
<04191> (8686)
them. {the mount...: or, the smooth mountain}
Joshua
<03091>
made
<06213> (8804)
war
<04421>
a long
<07227>
time
<03117>
with all those kings
<04428>_.
There was not a city
<05892>
that made peace
<07999> (8689)
with the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
save the Hivites
<02340>
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Gibeon
<01391>_:
all [other] they took
<03947> (8804)
in battle
<04421>_.
For it was of the LORD
<03068>
to harden
<02388> (8763)
their hearts
<03820>_,
that they should come against
<07125> (8800)
Israel
<03478>
in battle
<04421>_,
that he might destroy them utterly
<02763> (8687)_,
[and] that they might have no favour
<08467>_,
but that he might destroy
<08045> (8687)
them, as the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
Moses
<04872>_.
And at that time
<06256>
came
<0935> (8799)
Joshua
<03091>_,
and cut off
<03772> (8686)
the Anakims
<06062>
from the mountains
<02022>_,
from Hebron
<02275>_,
from Debir
<01688>_,
from Anab
<06024>_,
and from all the mountains
<02022>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and from all the mountains
<02022>
of Israel
<03478>_:
Joshua
<03091>
destroyed them utterly
<02763> (8689)
with their cities
<05892>_.
There was none of the Anakims
<06062>
left
<03498> (8738)
in the land
<0776>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_:
only in Gaza
<05804>_,
in Gath
<01661>_,
and in Ashdod
<0795>_,
there remained
<07604> (8738)_.
So Joshua
<03091>
took
<03947> (8799)
the whole land
<0776>_,
according to all that the LORD
<03068>
said
<01696> (8765)
unto Moses
<04872>_;
and Joshua
<03091>
gave
<05414> (8799)
it for an inheritance
<05159>
unto Israel
<03478>
according to their divisions
<04256>
by their tribes
<07626>_.
And the land
<0776>
rested
<08252> (8804)
from war
<04421>_.
