[HNV] Joshua 10, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
Joshua, starting at chapter 10
{10:1} Now it happened when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how
Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to
Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the
inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
{10:2} that they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as
one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all
its men were mighty. {10:3} Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem
sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhia king
of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying, {10:4} "Come up to me,
and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it has made peace with
Joshua and with the children of Israel." {10:5} Therefore the five
kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the
king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered
themselves together, and went up, they and all their armies, and
encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it. {10:6} The men of
Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, "Don't abandon
your servants! Come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for
all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have
gathered together against us."
{10:7} So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war
with him, and all the mighty men of valor. {10:8} The LORD said to
Joshua, "Don't fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands.
Not a man of them will stand before you."
{10:9} Joshua therefore came on them suddenly. He went up from
Gilgal all night. {10:10} The LORD confused them before Israel, and he
killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the
way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to
Makkedah. {10:11} It happened, as they fled from before Israel, while
they were at the descent of Beth Horon, that the LORD cast down great
stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more
who died from the hailstones than who the children of Israel killed
with the sword.
{10:12} Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD
delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said
in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop
in the valley of Aijalon!"
{10:13} The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation
had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn't this written in the
book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and didn't
hurry to go down about a whole day. {10:14} There was no day like that
before it or after it, that the LORD listened to the voice of a man;
for the LORD fought for Israel.
{10:15} Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to
Gilgal. {10:16} These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave
at Makkedah. {10:17} Joshua was told, saying, "The five kings are
found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah."
{10:18} Joshua said, "Roll large stones to the mouth of the cave,
and set men by it to guard them; {10:19} but don't stay. Pursue your
enemies, and them from the rear. Don't allow them to enter into their
cities; for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand."
{10:20} It happened, 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, {10:21} 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. {10:22} Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the
cave, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me."
{10:23} They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to
him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth,
the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. {10:24} It happened, when
they brought those kings out to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the
men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with
him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings."
They came near, and put their feet on their necks.
{10:25} Joshua said to them, "Don't be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be
strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all your enemies
against whom you fight."
{10:26} Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged
them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.
{10:27} It happened at the time of the going down of the sun, that
Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them
into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great
stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.
{10:28} Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the
edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed them and all
the souls who were in it. He left none re

for the LORD fought for Israel.
{10:15} Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to
Gilgal. {10:16} These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave
at Makkedah. {10:17} Joshua was told, saying, "The five kings are
found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah."
{10:18} Joshua said, "Roll large stones to the mouth of the cave,
and set men by it to guard them; {10:19} but don't stay. Pursue your
enemies, and them from the rear. Don't allow them to enter into their
cities; for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand."
{10:20} It happened, 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, {10:21} 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. {10:22} Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the
cave, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me."
{10:23} They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to
him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth,
the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. {10:24} It happened, when
they brought those kings out to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the
men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with
him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings."
They came near, and put their feet on their necks.
{10:25} Joshua said to them, "Don't be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be
strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all your enemies
against whom you fight."
{10:26} Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged
them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.
{10:27} It happened at the time of the going down of the sun, that
Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them
into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great
stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.
{10:28} Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the
edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed them and all
the souls who were in it. He left none re

{10:1} Now it happened when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how
Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to
Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the
inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
{10:2} that they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as
one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all
its men were mighty. {10:3} Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem
sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhia king
of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying, {10:4} "Come up to me,
and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it has made peace with
Joshua and with the children of Israel." {10:5} Therefore the five
kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the
king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered
themselves together, and went up, they and all their armies, and
encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it. {10:6} The men of
Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, "Don't abandon
your servants! Come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for
all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have
gathered together against us."
{10:7} So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war
with him, and all the mighty men of valor. {10:8} The LORD said to
Joshua, "Don't fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands.
Not a man of them will stand before you."
{10:9} Joshua therefore came on them suddenly. He went up from
Gilgal all night. {10:10} The LORD confused them before Israel, and he
killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the
way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to
Makkedah. {10:11} It happened, as they fled from before Israel, while
they were at the descent of Beth Horon, that the LORD cast down great
stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more
who died from the hailstones than who the children of Israel killed
with the sword.
{10:12} Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD
delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said
in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop
in the valley of Aijalon!"
{10:13} The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation
had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn't this written in the
book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and didn't
hurry to go down about a whole day. {10:14} There was no day like that
before it or after it, that the LORD listened to the voice of a man;
for the LORD fought for Israel.
{10:15} Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to
Gilgal. {10:16} These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave
at Makkedah. {10:17} Joshua was told, saying, "The five kings are

and set men by it to guard them; {10:19} but don't stay. Pursue your
enemies, and them from the rear. Don't allow them to enter into their
cities; for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand."
{10:20} It happened, when Joshua and the children of Israel had

fortified cities, {10:21} that all the people returned to the camp to

{10:23} They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to
him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth,
the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. {10:24} It happened, when
