Joshua 10:14-26

¹⁴And there was no day like that before it, nor after it, that the Lord heard the voyce of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.

¹⁵After, Ioshua returned, and all Israel with him vnto the campe to Gilgal:

¹⁶But the fiue Kings fled and were hid in a caue at Makkedah.

¹⁷And it was tolde Ioshua, saying, The fiue Kings are found hid in a caue at Makkedah.

¹⁸Then Ioshua said, Roule great stones vpon the mouth of the caue, and set men by it for to keepe them.

¹⁹But stand ye not still: follow after your enemies, and smite all the hindmost, suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord your God hath giuen them into your hand.

²⁰And when Ioshua and the children of Israel had made an ende of slaying them with an exceeding great slaughter till they were consumed, and the rest that remained of them were entred into walled cities,

²¹Then all the people returned to the campe, to Ioshua at Makkedah in peace: no man mooued his tongue against the children of Israel.

²²After, Ioshua sayd, Open the mouth of the caue, and bring out these fiue Kings vnto me forth of the caue.

²³And they did so, and brought out those fiue Kings vnto him forth of the caue, euen the King of Ierusalem, the King of Hebron, ye King of Iarmuth, the King of Lachish, and the King of Eglon.

²⁴And when they had brought out those Kings vnto Ioshua, Ioshua called for all the men of Israel, and sayd vnto the chiefe of the men of warre, which went with him, Come neere, set your feete vpon the necks of these Kings: and they came neere and set their feete vpon their necks.

²⁵And Ioshua sayd vnto them, Feare not, nor be faint hearted, but be strong and of a good courage: for thus will the Lord doe to all your enemies, against whome ye fight.

²⁶So then Ioshua smote them, and slewe them, and hanged them on fiue trees, and they hanged still vpon the trees vntill the euening.
