Joshua 10

1Now 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;

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

2that 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.

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

3Therefore 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,

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

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."

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

5Therefore 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.

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

6The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, "Do not 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."

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

7So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.

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

8The Lord said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you."

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

9Joshua therefore came on them suddenly. He went up from Gilgal all night.

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

10The 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.

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

11It 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.

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

12Then 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!"

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

13The 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 did not hurry to go down about a whole day.

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

14There 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

18Joshua said, "Roll large stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them;

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

19but do not stay. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Do not allow them to enter into their cities; for the Lord your God has delivered them into your hand."

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

20It 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,

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

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

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

22Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me."

1 Samuel 15:32, 1 Samuel 15:32

23They 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.

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

24It 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.

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

25Joshua said to them, "Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and of good courage, for the Lord will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight."

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

26Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.

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

27It 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.

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

28Joshua 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 remaining. He did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

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

29Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.

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

30The Lord delivered it also, with its king, into the hand of Israel. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining in it. He did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

31Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.

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

32The Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel. He took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls who were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

33Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.

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

34Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it fought against it.

Joshua 10:3, Joshua 10:3, Joshua 15:39, Joshua 12:12, Joshua 15:39

35They took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.

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

36Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.

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

37They took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it.

38Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.

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

39He took it, with its king and all its cities. They struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.

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

40So Joshua struck all the land, the hill country, and the Negev, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings. He left none remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord, the God of Israel, commanded.

Deuteronomy 7:2, Deuteronomy 7:16, Deuteronomy 7:2, Deuteronomy 7:16, Joshua 9:24

41Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.

Joshua 11:16, Joshua 11:16, Joshua 15:51, Joshua 15:51, Genesis 10:19

42Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.

Joshua 10:14, Joshua 10:14, Psalms 46:7, Psalms 46:7, Psalms 80:3

43Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
