1When Adonisedec, king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, to wit, that Joshua had taken Hai, and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai and its king) and that the Gabaonites were gone over to Israel, and were their confederates,

stylus

Genesis 14:18, Joshua 8:2, Joshua 6:21, Joshua 11:19, Joshua 11:20

2He was exceedingly afraid. For Gabaon was a great city, and one of the royal cities, and greater than the town of Hai, and all its fighting men were most valiant.

stylus

Deuteronomy 11:25, Deuteronomy 11:25, Joshua 2:24, Exodus 15:14, Exodus 15:16

3Therefore Adonisedec, king of Jerusalem, sent to Oham, king of Hebron, and to Pharam, king of Jerimoth, and to Japhia, king of Lachis, and to Dabir, king of Eglon, saying:

stylus

2 Chronicles 11:9, Micah 1:13, 2 Chronicles 11:9, Micah 1:13, Numbers 13:22

4Come up to me, and bring help, that we may take Gabaon, because it hath gone over to Joshua, and to the children of Israel.

stylus

Joshua 9:15, Joshua 9:15, Joshua 10:1, Joshua 10:1, Revelation 20:8

5So the five kings of the Amorrhites being assembled together, went up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, they and their armies, and camped about Gabaon, laying siege to it.

stylus

Genesis 15:16, Joshua 9:1, Joshua 9:2, Isaiah 8:9, Isaiah 8:10

6But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon, which was besieged, sent to Joshua, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly, and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us.

stylus

Joshua 9:6, Joshua 5:10, Joshua 9:6, Joshua 5:10, Deuteronomy 1:15

7And Joshua went up from Galgal, and all the army of the warriors with him, most valiant men.

stylus

Joshua 8:1, Joshua 8:1, Isaiah 8:12, Isaiah 8:14, Isaiah 8:12

8But the Lord said to Joshua: Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands: none of them shall be able to stand against thee.

stylus

Romans 8:31, Romans 8:31, Psalms 27:1, Psalms 27:2, Isaiah 41:10

9So Joshua going up from Galgal all the night, came upon them suddenly.

stylus

Proverbs 24:11, Proverbs 24:12, Proverbs 22:29, Ecclesiastes 9:10, 2 Timothy 2:3

10And the Lord troubled them, at the sight of Israel: and he slew them with a great slaughter, in Gabaon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Bethoron, and cut them off all the way to Azeca and Maceda.

stylus

Psalms 18:14, Psalms 18:14, Joshua 16:3, Joshua 16:5, Joshua 16:3

11And when they were fleeing from the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Bethoron, the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven, as far as Azeca: and many more were killed with the hailstones, than were slain by the swords of the children of Israel,

stylus

Isaiah 28:2, Isaiah 28:2, Exodus 9:22, Exodus 9:26, Judges 5:20

12Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon.

stylus

Habakkuk 3:11, Habakkuk 3:11, Isaiah 38:8, Isaiah 38:8, Isaiah 60:20

13And the sun and the moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the just? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down the space of one day.

stylus

Habakkuk 3:11, Habakkuk 3:11, Isaiah 38:8, Isaiah 38:8, Joshua 10:14

14There was not before, nor after, so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.

stylus

Deuteronomy 1:30, Deuteronomy 1:30, Exodus 14:14, Exodus 14:14, Joshua 10:42

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

stylus

Joshua 10:43, Joshua 10:43, Joshua 10:6, Joshua 10:6

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

stylus

Micah 7:17, 1 Samuel 13:6, Revelation 6:15, Isaiah 2:10, Isaiah 2:12

17And it was told Joshua, that the five kings were found hid in a cave of the city of Maceda.

stylus

18And 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:

stylus

Matthew 27:66, Matthew 27:66, Job 21:30, Amos 9:1, Amos 5:19

19And 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.

stylus

Psalms 18:37, Psalms 18:41, Psalms 18:37, Psalms 18:41, Jeremiah 48:10

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

stylus

Joshua 8:24, Joshua 8:24, Jeremiah 8:14, 2 Samuel 20:6, Deuteronomy 20:16

21And all the army returned to Joshua, 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.

stylus

Exodus 11:7, Exodus 11:7, Isaiah 57:4, Isaiah 54:17, Isaiah 57:4

22And Joshua gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein.

stylus

1 Samuel 15:32, 1 Samuel 15:32

23And the ministers did as they were commanded: and they brought out 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.

stylus

Joshua 10:3, Joshua 10:5, Joshua 10:1, Joshua 10:3, Joshua 10:5

24And when they were brought out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the army that were with him: Go, and set your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and put their feet upon the necks of them lying under them,

stylus

Revelation 2:26, Revelation 2:27, Malachi 4:3, Romans 16:20, Revelation 2:26

25He said again to them: Fear not, neither be ye dismayed, take courage, and be strong: for so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.

stylus

Joshua 1:9, 2 Corinthians 1:10, Joshua 1:9, 2 Corinthians 1:10, Ephesians 6:10

26And Joshua struck, and slew them, and hanged them upon five gibbets; and they hung until the evening.

stylus

Joshua 8:29, Joshua 8:29, Numbers 25:4, 2 Samuel 21:9, Esther 2:23

27And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them down from the gibbets. And after they were taken down, they cast them into the cave, where they had lain hid, and put great stones at the mouth thereof, which remain until this day.

stylus

Joshua 8:29, Joshua 8:29, Joshua 7:26, 2 Samuel 18:17, Deuteronomy 21:22

28The same day Joshua took Maceda, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left not in it the least remains. And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had done to the king of Jericho.

stylus

Joshua 6:21, Joshua 6:21, Deuteronomy 7:2, Psalms 21:8, Psalms 21:9

29And he passed from Maceda with all Israel to Lebna, and fought against it:

stylus

Joshua 21:13, Joshua 21:13, Joshua 15:42, Joshua 15:42, Joshua 6:21

30And the Lord delivered it with the king thereof into the hands of Israel: and they destroyed the city with the edge of the sword, and all the inhabitants thereof. They left not in it any remains. And they did to the king of Lebna, as they had done to the king of Jericho.

stylus

31From Lebna he passed unto Lachis, with all Israel: and investing it with his army, besieged it.

stylus

Joshua 10:3, Joshua 10:3, 2 Kings 19:8, 2 Chronicles 11:9, Joshua 15:39

32And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel, and he took it the following day, and put it to the sword, and every soul that was in it, as he had done to Lebna.

stylus

33At that time Horam, king of Gazer, came up to succour Lachis: and Joshua slew him with all his people so as to leave none alive.

stylus

Joshua 16:10, Judges 1:29, Joshua 16:10, Judges 1:29, Joshua 16:3

34And he passed from Lachis to Eglon, and surrounded it,

stylus

35And took it the same day: and put to the sword all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Lachis.

stylus

Leviticus 26:44, Joshua 10:37, Job 19:10, Leviticus 26:44, Joshua 10:37

36He went up also with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron, and fought against it:

stylus

Judges 1:10, Judges 1:10, Joshua 15:13, Joshua 15:13, Joshua 14:13

37Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon, so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it.

stylus

38Returning from thence to Dabir,

stylus

Joshua 15:15, Joshua 15:15, Joshua 21:15, Judges 1:11, Judges 1:15

39He took it, and destroyed it: the king also thereof, and all the towns round about, he destroyed with the edge of the sword: he left not in it any remains: as he had done to Hebron and Lebna, and to their kings, so did he to Dabir, and to the king thereof.

stylus

Joshua 10:37, Deuteronomy 3:3, Joshua 11:8, 2 Kings 10:11, Obadiah 1:18

40So Joshua conquered all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the plain, and of Asedoth, with their kings: he left not any remains therein, but slew all that breathed, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded him.
