| 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; | Gn 14:18 Heb 7:1 |
| 2 | that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men of it were mighty. | Jsh 2:9-13 Jsh 2:24-13 Ex 15:14-16 Dt 11:25 Dt 28:10 Ps 48:4-6 Pr 1:26 Pr 1:27 Pr 10:24 Heb 10:27 Heb 10:31 Rev 6:15-17 |
| 3 | Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying, | Jsh 10:1 Jsh 10:5 Jsh 12:10-13 Jsh 15:35-39 Jsh 15:54-39 Jsh 15:63-39 Jsh 18:28 |
| 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. | Isa 8:9 Isa 8:10 Isa 41:5-7 Ac 9:24-27 Ac 21:28 Rev 16:14 Rev 20:8-10 |
| 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 hosts, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it. | Jsh 10:6 Jsh 9:1 Jsh 9:2 Gn 15:16 Isa 8:9 Isa 8:10 |
| 6 | The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Don`t slack your hand from 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 are gathered together against us. | Jsh 5:10 Jsh 9:6 |
| 7 | So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor. | Isa 8:12 Isa 8:14 |
| 8 | Yahweh said to Joshua, Don`t fear them: for I have delivered them into your hands; there shall not a man of them stand before you. | Jsh 1:5-9 Jsh 8:1 Jsh 11:6 Dt 3:2 Dt 20:1-4 Jg 4:14 Jg 4:15 Ps 27:1 Ps 27:2 Isa 41:10-15 Ro 8:31 |
| 9 | Joshua therefore came on them suddenly; [for] he went up from Gilgal all the night. | 1Sa 11:9-11 Pr 22:29 Pr 24:11 Pr 24:12 Ec 9:10 2Ti 2:3 2Ti 4:2 |
| 10 | Yahweh 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. | Jsh 11:8 Jg 4:15 1Sa 7:10-12 2Ch 14:12 Ps 18:14 Ps 44:3 Ps 78:55 |
| 11 | It happened, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that Yahweh cast down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel killed with the sword. | Gn 19:24 Ex 9:22-26 Jg 5:20 Ps 11:6 Ps 18:12-14 Ps 77:17 Ps 77:18 Isa 28:2 Isa 30:30 Ezk 13:11 Rev 11:19 Rev 16:21 |
| 12 | Then spoke Joshua to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand you still on Gibeon; You, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon. | Jsh 10:13 Dt 4:19 Dt 17:3 Jb 9:7 Jb 31:26 Jb 31:27 Ps 19:4 Ps 74:16 Ps 148:3 Isa 28:21 Isa 38:8 Isa 60:20 Am 8:9 Hab 3:11 |
| 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. | Nm 31:2 Jg 5:2 Jg 16:28 Es 8:13 Lk 18:7 Rev 6:10 |
| 14 | There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man: for Yahweh fought for Israel. | 2Ki 20:10 2Ki 20:11 Isa 38:8 |
| 15 | Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal. | Jsh 10:6 Jsh 10:43 |
| 16 | These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. | Ps 48:4-6 Ps 139:7-10 Isa 2:10-12 Am 9:2 Rev 6:15 |
| 17 | It was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah. |
| 18 | Joshua said, Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them: | Jsh 10:22 Jg 9:46-49 Jb 21:30 Am 5:19 Am 9:1 Mt 27:66 |
| 19 | but 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. | Ps 18:37-41 Jer 48:10 |
| 20 | It 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, | Jsh 10:10 Jsh 8:24 2Ch 13:17 |
| 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. | Ex 11:7 Isa 54:17 Isa 57:4 |
| 22 | Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings to me out of the cave. | 1Sa 15:32 |
| 23 | They 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. | Jsh 10:1 Jsh 10:3 Jsh 10:5 |
| 24 | It happened, when they brought forth those kings 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 the necks of them. | Dt 33:29 Jg 8:20 Ps 2:8-12 Ps 18:40 Ps 91:13 Ps 107:40 Ps 110:1 Ps 110:5 Ps 149:8 Ps 149:9 Isa 26:5 Isa 26:6 Isa 60:11 Isa 60:12 Mal 4:3 Ro 16:20 Rev 2:26 Rev 2:27 |
| 25 | Joshua said to them, Don`t be afraid, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall Yahweh do to all your enemies against whom you fight. | Jsh 1:9 Dt 31:6-8 1Sa 17:37 Ps 63:9 Ps 77:11 2Co 1:10 2Ti 4:17 2Ti 4:18 |
| 26 | Afterward Joshua struck them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging on the trees until the evening. | Jg 8:21 1Sa 15:33 |
| 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, to this very day. | Jsh 8:29 Dt 21:23 2Sa 18:17 |
| 28 | Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and the king of it: he utterly destroyed them and all the souls who were therein; he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho. | Jsh 15:41 |
| 29 | Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah: | Jsh 12:15 Jsh 15:42 Jsh 21:13 Nm 33:20 2Ki 8:22 2Ki 19:8 Jer 52:1 |
| 30 | and Yahweh delivered it also, and the king of it, into the hand of Israel; and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were therein; he left none remaining in it; and he did to the king of it as he had done to the king of Jericho. |
| 31 | Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it: | Jsh 10:3 Jsh 10:5 Jsh 12:11 Jsh 15:39 2Ki 19:8 2Ch 11:9 Isa 37:8 Mic 1:13 |
| 32 | and Yahweh delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel; and he took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah. |
| 33 | Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him none remaining. | Jsh 12:12 Jsh 16:3 Jsh 16:10 Jsh 21:21 Jg 1:29 1Ki 9:16 1Ki 9:17 1Ch 6:67 1Ch 20:4 |
| 34 | Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it; | Jsh 10:3 Jsh 12:12 Jsh 15:39 |
| 35 | and they took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword; and all the souls who were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish. | Jsh 10:37 Lv 26:44 Jb 19:10 |
| 36 | Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it: | Jsh 10:3 Jsh 10:5 Jsh 14:13 Jsh 14:14 Jsh 15:13 Jsh 15:54 Jsh 21:13 Gn 13:18 Nm 13:22 Jg 1:10 2Sa 5:1-5 2Sa 15:9 2Sa 15:10 1Ch 12:23 1Ch 12:28 |
| 37 | and they took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and the king of it, and all the cities of it, and all the souls who were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were therein. |
| 38 | Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it: | Jsh 12:13 Jsh 15:15 Jsh 15:49 Jsh 21:15 Jg 1:11-15 |
| 39 | and he took it, and the king of it, and all the cities of it; and they struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king of it; as he had done also to Libnah, and to the king of it. | Jsh 10:33 Jsh 10:37 Jsh 10:40 Jsh 11:8 Dt 3:3 2Ki 10:11 Ob 1:18 |
| 40 | So Joshua struck all the land, the hill-country, and the South, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded. | Jsh 15:21-63 Jsh 18:21-28 Jsh 19:1-8 Jsh 19:40-48 |
| 41 | Joshua struck them from Kadesh-barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon. | Jsh 14:6 Jsh 14:7 Nm 13:26 Nm 32:8 Nm 34:4 Dt 9:23 |
| 42 | All these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because Yahweh, the God of Israel, fought for Israel. | Jsh 10:14 Ex 14:14 Ex 14:25 Dt 20:4 Ps 44:3-8 Ps 46:1 Ps 46:7 Ps 46:11 Ps 80:3 Ps 118:6 Isa 8:9 Isa 8:10 Isa 43:4 Ro 8:31-37 |
| 43 | Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal. | Jsh 10:15 Jsh 4:19 1Sa 11:14 |
