Joshua 10:3-23

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>_.
