17It was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
18Joshua said, Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:
19but don`t stay; pursue after your enemies, and strike the hindmost of them; don`t allow them to enter into their cities: for Yahweh your God has delivered them into your hand.
20It happened, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of killing them with a very great slaughter, until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
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.
22Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings to me out of the cave.
23They did so, and brought forth those five kings to him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
