¹⁵ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

¹⁶ And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

¹⁷ And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.

¹⁸ And Joshua said, Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:

¹⁹ but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for Jehovah your God hath delivered them into your hand.

²⁰ And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

²¹ that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

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

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

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

¹⁹ But do not ye 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.

²⁰ And 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.

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

¹⁵ After Joshua's army defeated their enemies, they all returned to their camp at Gilgal.

¹⁶ While the enemy soldiers were fleeing from Joshua's army, their five kings also fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah town.

¹⁷ Then someone told Joshua, “We found those five kings, hiding in a cave at Makkedah!”

¹⁸ When Joshua heard that, he said, “Roll some very large rocks to the entrance of the cave so that the kings cannot escape, and leave some soldiers there to guard it.

¹⁹ But do not stay there! Pursue our enemies! Attack them from behind! Do not allow them to escape to their cities, because Yahweh, our God, will enable you to defeat/kill them. IDM”

²⁰ So Joshua's army did what he told them to do. They killed almost all of the enemy soldiers, but a few of them were able to reach their cities and be safe inside the walls of the cities.

²¹ Then Joshua's army returned to Joshua, who was still in their camp at Makkedah. No one in the land dared to criticize MTY the Israelis.

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

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

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

¹⁹ But 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.

¹⁷ Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”

¹⁸ Joshua said, “Roll large stones to cover the cave’s entrance, and set men by it to guard them;

¹⁹ but don’t stay there. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter into their cities; for Yahweh your God has delivered them into your hand.”

²⁰ When Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

²¹ all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

¹⁵ Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.

¹⁶ These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

¹⁷ Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”

¹⁸ Joshua said, “Roll large stones to cover the cave’s entrance, and set men by it to guard them;

²⁰ When Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

²¹ all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

¹⁵ Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.

¹⁶ These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

¹⁷ Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”

¹⁸ Joshua said, “Roll large stones to cover the cave’s entrance, and set men by it to guard them;

¹⁹ but don’t stay there. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter into their cities; for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”

²⁰ When Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

²¹ all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

¹⁵ And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.

¹⁶ But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah.

¹⁷ And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah.

¹⁸ And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:

¹⁹ But do you, without waiting, go after their army, attacking them from the back; do not let them get into their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hands.

²⁰ Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction, and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns,

²¹ All the people went back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Makkedah in peace: and no one said a word against the children of Israel.

¹⁵ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp, to Gilgal.

¹⁶ And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

¹⁷ And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found, hid in the cave at Makkedah.

¹⁸ And Joshua said, Roll great stones before the mouth of the cave, and set men before it to keep them.

¹⁹ And ye, stay not, pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities; for Jehovah your God has given them into your hand.

²⁰ And it came to pass when Joshua and the children of Israel had ended smiting them with a very great slaughter, until they were consumed, that the remnant which remained of them entered into fortified cities;

²¹ and all the people returned to the camp to Joshua, at Makkedah, in peace; none moved his tongue against the children of Israel.

¹⁵ And Josue returned with all Israel into the camp of Galgal.

¹⁶ For the five kings were fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda.

¹⁷ And it was told Josue that the five kings were found hidden in a cave of the city of Maceda.

¹⁸ And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men, to keep them shut up:

¹⁹ And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord God hath delivered into your hands to shelter themselves in their cities.

²⁰ So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered into fenced cities.

²¹ And all the army returned to Josue in Maceda, where the camp then was, in good health and without the loss of any one: and no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel.

¹⁵ Then Joshua and all the army returned to the camp at Gilgal.

¹⁶ The five kings had run away and hid in a cave at Makkedah.

¹⁷ When Joshua was told that the five kings were hiding in a cave at Makkedah,

¹⁸ he gave this order, “Roll some large stones to block the entrance to the cave and have some men guard it.

¹⁹ But don't you stay there. Chase the enemy down and attack them from the rear. Don't let them escape to their towns for the Lord has given them to you to defeat.”

²⁰ So Joshua and the Israelites totally defeated them, striking them down and killing them. Only a few of them survived to escape back to their towns.

²¹ The army returned to Joshua at the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared even to threaten the Israelites.

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

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

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

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

¹⁹ But 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.

²⁰ And 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,

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

¹⁵ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

¹⁶ And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

¹⁷ And it was told Joshua, saying: 'The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.'

¹⁸ And Joshua said: 'Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them;

¹⁹ but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities; for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.'

²⁰ And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

²¹ that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace; none whetted his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

¹⁵ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

¹⁶ But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.

¹⁷ And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.

¹⁸ And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:

¹⁹ and stay you not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord your God hath delivered them into your hand.

²⁰ And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities.

²¹ And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

¹⁶ But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

¹⁷ And it was told to Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah.

¹⁸ And Joshua said, Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men over it to guard them;

¹⁹ But you, do ye not stay, pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them: suffer them not to enter into their cities; for the Lord your God hath delivered them into your hand.

²⁰ And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of smiting them with a very great defeat, till they were all spent, and those that escaped had fled from them and entered into the fortified cities,

²¹ That all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: no one pointed against any man of the children of Israel his tongue.

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

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

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

¹⁹ But do not ye 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.

²⁰ And 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.

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

¹⁵ Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp at Gilgal.

¹⁶ Now the five kings had escaped and hidden themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

¹⁷ It was told to Joshua, “They have been found!—the five kings hidden in the cave at Makkedah!”

¹⁸ Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave and place soldiers there to guard them.

¹⁹ Do not stay yourselves. Pursue your enemies and attack them from the rear. Do not permit them to enter into their cities, because Yahweh your God has given them into your hand.”

²⁰ Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished slaughtering them with a very great slaughter, until they were almost completely destroyed; only a few survivors who escaped reached the fortified cities.

²¹ Then the whole army returned in peace to Joshua at the camp at Makkedah. No one dared to say one word against any of the people of Israel.

¹⁵ Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.

¹⁶ But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.

¹⁷ And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.

¹⁸ And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:

¹⁹ And stay you not, but pursue your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.

²¹ all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

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

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

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

¹⁸ And 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;

¹⁹ soothly 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.

²⁰ Then 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.

²¹ And 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.

¹⁵ And Joshua turned again, with all Israel, into the tents of Gilgal. (And then Joshua, and all Israel, returned to their tents in Gilgal.)

¹⁶ For the five kings fled, and hid themselves in the den of the city of Makkedah. (But those five kings had escaped, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.)

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

¹⁸ And 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 (en)closed kings; (And Joshua commanded to his men, and said, Roll ye some great stones to the mouth of the cave, and put ye some able men there who shall keep the kings enclosed;)

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

²⁰ Then 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. (And so when their adversaries were beaten with a great vengeance, and were almost destroyed unto the death, the few who escaped from the Israelites, entered into their strengthened cities.)

²¹ And 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 grouch against the sons of Israel (or and no one was fool-hardy enough to grumble against the Israelites).

¹⁵ And Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.

¹⁶ And these five kings flee, and are hidden in a cave at Makkedah,

¹⁷ and it is declared to Joshua, saying, 'The five kings have been found hidden in a cave at Makkedah.'

¹⁸ And Joshua saith, 'Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and appoint over it men to watch them;

¹⁹ and ye, stand not, pursue after your enemies, and ye have smitten the hindmost of them; suffer them not to go in unto their cities, for Jehovah your God hath given them into your hand.'

²⁰ And it cometh to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel finish to smite them — a very great smiting, till they are consumed, and the remnant who have remained of them go in unto the fenced cities,

²¹ that all the people turn back to the camp, unto Joshua, at Makkedah, in peace; none moved sharply his tongue against the sons of Israel.
