15 And Josue returned with all Israel into the camp of Galgal.📜💬📚
Victory at Makkedah
16 For the five kings were fled, and had hid themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda.📜💬📚
17 And it was told Josue that the five kings were found lying hid in a cave of the city of Maceda.📜💬📚
18 Who commanded them saying: Roll great stones into the mouth of the cave, and set industrious men, which may keep them shut in:📜💬📚
19 and stand not you still, but pursue the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them that fly, neither let them enter into the forts of their cities, whom our Lord God hath delivered into your hands.📜💬📚
20 The adversaries therefore being slain with a great slaughter, and almost consumed to utter destruction, they that could escape from Israel entered into fenced cities.📜💬📚
21 And all the host returned to Josue in Maceda, where then the camp was, safe and the full number: and no man durst once mutter against the children of Israel.📜💬📚
22 And Josue commanded, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, & bring forth to me the five kings, that lie hid therein.📜💬📚
23 And the ministers did as it was commanded them: and they brought to him the five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon.📜💬📚
24 And when they were brought forth to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the princes of the host that were with him: Go, and set your feet upon the necks of these kings. Who when they had gone, & trodden with their feet the necks of them lying under,📜💬📚
25 again he said to them: Fear ye not, neither dread, take courage and be strong: for so will our Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.📜💬📚
26 And Josue struck, and slew them, and hanged them upon five gibbets: and they hung until evening.📜💬📚
