Joshua 10:13-25

¹³And the sun and the moon stood, unto the time the folk of God had avenged themselves of their enemies. Whether this is not written in the book of just or rightwise men? And so the sun stood in the midst of heaven, and it hasted not to go down in the space of a day;

¹⁴so long a day was not before and afterward; for the Lord obeyed to the voice of a man, and he fought for Israel.

¹⁵And Joshua turned again, with all Israel, into the tents of Gilgal.

¹⁶For the five kings fled, and hid themselves in the den of the city of Makkedah.

¹⁷And it was told to Joshua, that the five kings were found hid in the den of the city of Makkedah.

¹⁸And Joshua commanded to fellows, and said, Wallow ye great stones to the mouth of the den, and put ye witting men, that shall keep the enclosed kings;

¹⁹soothly do not ye stand, but pursue ye the enemies, and slay ye all the last of fleers; and suffer ye not them to enter into the strongholds of their cities, the which enemies your Lord God hath betaken in your hands.

²⁰Then when the adversaries were beaten with great vengeance, and were almost wasted unto the death, they that might flee Israel, entered into the strengthened cities.

²¹And all the host turned again whole, and in whole number to Joshua, into Makkedah, where the tents were then; and no man was hardy to grutch against the sons of Israel.

²²And Joshua commanded, and said, Open ye the mouth of the den, and bring forth to me the five kings that be hid therein.

²³And the servants did, as it was commanded to them; and they brought forth to Joshua the five kings from the den; the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

²⁴And when they were led out to Joshua, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the princes of the host, that were with him, Go ye, and set or putteth your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and treaded the necks of the kings subject to their feet,

²⁵again Joshua said to Israel, Do not ye dread, neither be ye afeared, be ye comforted, and be ye strong; for so the Lord shall do to all your enemies, against which ye shall fight.
