Joshua 10:13-25

¹³And the sun and the moon stood still, until God executed vengeance on their enemies; and the sun stood still in the midst of heaven; it did not proceed to set till the end of one day.

¹⁴And there was not such a day either before or after, so that God should listen to a man, because the Lord fought on the side of Israel.

¹⁶And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave that is in Makeda.

¹⁷And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found hid in the cave that is in Makeda.

¹⁸And Joshua said, Roll stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men to watch over them.

¹⁹But do not you° stand, but pursue after your enemies, and attack the rear of them, and do not suffer them to enter into their cities; for the Lord our God has delivered them into our hands.

²⁰And it came to pass when Joshua and all Israel ceased destroying them utterly with a very great slaughter, that they that escaped took refuge in the strong cities.

²¹And all the people returned safe to Joshua to Makeda; and no one of the children of Israel murmured with his tongue.

²²And Joshua said, Open the cave, and bring out these five kings out of the cave.

²³And they brought out the five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, and the king of Chebron, and the king of Jerimuth, and the king of Lachis, and the king of Odollam.

²⁴And when they brought them out to Joshua, then Joshua called together all Israel, and the chiefs of the army that went with him, saying to them, Come forward and set your feet on their necks; and they came and set their feet on their necks.

²⁵And Joshua said to them, Do not fear them, neither be cowardly; be courageous and strong, for thus the Lord will do to all your enemies, against whom you° fight.
