1 Now it came to pass when My Lord is Righteous (Adonizedec) king of Rain of Peace (Jerusalem) had heard how I AM is Salvation (Joshua) had taken Heap of Ruins (Ai) and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Its Moon (Jericho) and her king and how he had done to Heap of Ruins (Ai) and her king; and how the inhabitants of Hill City (Gibeon) had made peace with God Prevails (Israel), and were among them;
2 They feared greatly, because Hill City
(Gibeon) was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was
greater than Heap of Ruins (Ai), and all the men thereof were mighty.
3 Therefore My Lord is Righteous
(Adonizedec) king of Rain of Peace (Jerusalem) sent to Who I AM (Jehovah)
Drives (Hoham) king of Association (Hebron), and to Like a Wild Ass (Piram)
king of Heights (Jarmuth), and to Shining (Japhia) king of Invincible (Lachish),
and to Sanctuary (Debir) king of Calf-Like (Eglon), saying,
4 Come up to me, and help me, that we may
destroy Hill City (Gibeon): for it has made peace with I AM is Salvation
(Joshua) and with the children of God Prevails (Israel).
5 Therefore these five kings of the Talkers,
Sayers (Amorites), the king of Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), the king of Association
(Hebron), the king of Heights (Jarmuth), the king of Invincible (Lachish), the
king of Calf-Like (Eglon), gathered themselves together, and went up, they and
all their troops, and encamped before Hill City (Gibeon), and made war against
it.
6 So the men of Hill City (Gibeon) sent to
I AM is Salvation (Joshua) to the camp to Rolling Wheel (Gilgal), saying: It is
urgent that you send help to your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us,
and help us: for all the kings of The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite) that dwell in
the mountains are gathered together against us.
7 So I AM is Salvation (Joshua) went up
from Rolling Wheel (Gilgal), he, and all the people of war with him, and all
the mighty men of valor.
8 And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to I
AM is Salvation (Joshua): Fear them not: for I have delivered them into your
hand; there shall not a man of them stand before you.
9 Therefore I AM is Salvation (Joshua) left
immediately, and went up from Rolling Wheel (Gilgal) all night.
10 And I AM (the
LORD, Yehovah) discomfited them before God Prevails (Israel), and slew them
with a great slaughter at Hill City (Gibeon), and chased them along the way
that goes up to House of Hollowness (Bethhoron), and smote them to Dug Over
(Azekah), and to Place of Shepherds (Makkedah).
11 It came to pass, as they fled from
before God Prevails (Israel), and were going down to House of Hollowness
(Bethhoron), that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) cast down great stones from heaven on
them to Dug Over (Azekah), and they died: there were more who died with
hailstones than they whom the children of God Prevails (Israel) slew with the
sword.
12 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) spoke to
I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) in the day when I AM (the
LORD, Yehovah) delivered up The Talkers, Sayers (Amorites) before the children
of God Prevails (Israel), and he said in the sight of God Prevails (Israel):
Sun, you stand still on Hill City (Gibeon); and you, Moon, in the valley of Field
of Deer (Ajalon).
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon
stayed until the people had avenged themselves on their enemies. Is not this
written in the book of the Upright (Jasher)? So, the sun stood still in the
midst of heaven and did not go down for about a whole day.
14 There was no day like that before it
or after it, that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) listened to the voice of a man: for I
AM (the LORD, Yehovah) fought for God Prevails (Israel).
15 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua)
returned, and all God Prevails (Israel) with him, to the camp to Rolling Wheel
(Gilgal).
16 But these five kings fled, and hid
themselves in a cave at Place of Shepherds (Makkedah).
17 It was told I AM is Salvation (Joshua),
saying: The five kings are found hidden in a cave at Place of Shepherds
(Makkedah).
18 So I AM is Salvation (Joshua) said:
Roll great stones on the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:
19 The rest of you go, pursue after your
enemies, and kill the last of them; do not permit them to enter into their
cities: for I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym) has delivered them
into your hand.
20 So when I AM is Salvation (Joshua) and
the children of God Prevails (Israel) had made an end of slaying them with a
very great slaughter, till they were consumed, the rest which remained of them
entered into fenced cities.
21 Then all the people returned to the
camp with I AM is Salvation (Joshua) at Place of Shepherds (Makkedah) in peace:
none moved his tongue against any of the children of God Prevails (Israel).
22 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) said: Open
the mouth of the cave and bring out those five kings to me out of the cave.
23 So they brought forth those five kings
to him out of the cave, the king of Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), the king of Association
(Hebron), the king of Heights (Jarmuth), the king of Invincible (Lachish), and
the king of Calf-Like (Eglon).
24 When they brought out those kings to I
AM is Salvation (Joshua), I AM is Salvation (Joshua) called for all the men of God
Prevails (Israel) and said to the captains of the men of war which went with
him: Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings. And they came near,
and put their feet on the necks of them.
25 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) said to
them: Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall I
AM (the LORD, Yehovah) do to all your enemies against whom you fight.
26 Afterward I AM is Salvation (Joshua)
smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they hung on the
trees until the evening.
27 Then at the time of the going down of
the sun, I AM is Salvation (Joshua) gave the order for them to be taken down
off the trees, cast into the cave where they had been hiding and that great
stones be laid in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.
28 On that day I AM is Salvation (Joshua)
took Place of Shepherds (Makkedah), and smote it with the edge of the sword,
and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were
therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Place of Shepherds
(Makkedah) as he did to the king of Its Moon (Jericho).
29 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) passed
from Place of Shepherds (Makkedah), and all God Prevails (Israel) with him, to Pavement
(Libnah), and fought against Pavement (Libnah):
30 And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) delivered
it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of God Prevails (Israel); and he
smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he
let none remain in it; but did to the king thereof as he did to the king of Its
Moon (Jericho).
31 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) passed
from Pavement (Libnah), and all God Prevails (Israel) with him, to Invincible
(Lachish), and encamped against it, and fought against it:
32 There I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) delivered
Invincible (Lachish) into the hand of God Prevails (Israel). They took it on
the second day and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that
were therein, according to all that he had done to Pavement (Libnah).
33 Then Exalted (Horam) king of Portion
(Gezer) came up to help Invincible (Lachish); and I AM is Salvation (Joshua)
smote him and his people until there were none remaining.
34 And from Invincible (Lachish) I AM is
Salvation (Joshua) passed to Calf-Like (Eglon), and all God Prevails (Israel)
with him, and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
35 They took it on that day and smote it
with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly
destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Invincible (Lachish).
36 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) went
up from Calf-Like (Eglon), and all God Prevails (Israel) with him, to Association
(Hebron); and they fought against it:
37 They took it as well and smote it with
the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and
all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that
he had done to Calf-Like (Eglon); but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls
that were therein.
38 So I AM is Salvation (Joshua)
returned, and all God Prevails (Israel) with him, to Sanctuary (Debir); and
fought against it:
39 He took it, and the king thereof, and
all the cities thereof, and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and
utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as
he had done to Association (Hebron), so he did to Sanctuary (Debir), and to the
king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
40 So I AM is Salvation (Joshua) smote
all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the
springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all
that breathed, as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym) of God Prevails
(Israel) commanded.
41 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) smote
them from Holy (Kadeshbarnea) all the way to The Strong (Gaza), and all the
country of Drawing Near (Goshen), even to Hill City (Gibeon).
42 All these kings and their land I AM is
Salvation (Joshua) took at one time, because I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), God
(‘Elohiym) of God Prevails (Israel) fought for God Prevails (Israel).
43 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua)
returned, and all God Prevails (Israel) with him, to the camp to Rolling Wheel
(Gilgal).
