Then the men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not seek the counsel of the LORD.
Read word by wordAnd Joshua made a treaty of peace with them to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them.
Read word by wordThree days after they had made the treaty with the Gibeonites, the Israelites learned that they were neighbors, living among them.
Read word by wordSo the Israelites set out and on the third day arrived at their cities—Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
Read word by wordBut the Israelites did not attack them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. And the whole congregation grumbled against the leaders.
Read word by wordAll the leaders answered, “We have sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God of Israel, and now we cannot touch them.
Read word by wordThey continued, “Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water carriers for the whole congregation.” So the leaders kept their promise.
Read word by wordThen Joshua summoned the Gibeonites and said, “Why did you deceive us by telling us you live far away from us, when in fact you live among us?
Read word by wordThe Gibeonites answered, “Your servants were told clearly that the LORD your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land and wipe out all its inhabitants before you. So we greatly feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we have done this.
Read word by wordSo Joshua did this and delivered them from the hands of the Israelites, and they did not kill the Gibeonites.
Read word by wordOn that day he made them woodcutters and water carriers, as they are to this day for the congregation of the LORD and for the altar at the place He would choose.
Read word by wordNow Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai and devoted it to destruction—doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king—and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them.
Read word by wordSo Adoni-zedek and his people were greatly alarmed, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
Read word by wordTherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Read word by wordSo the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon—joined forces and advanced with all their armies. They camped before Gibeon and made war against it.
Read word by wordThen the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
Read word by wordSo Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.
Read word by wordThe LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have delivered them into your hand. Not one of them shall stand against you.”
Read word by wordAfter marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.
Read word by wordAnd the LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, pursued them along the ascent to Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
Read word by wordAs they fled before Israel along the descent from Beth-horon to Azekah, the LORD cast down on them large hailstones from the sky, and more of them were killed by the hailstones than by the swords of the Israelites.
Read word by wordOn the day that the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
Read word by wordSo the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”
Read word by wordThen Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
Read word by wordNow the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
Read word by wordAnd Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
Read word by wordSo Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.
Read word by wordBut you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”
Read word by wordSo Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.
Read word by wordThe whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
Read word by wordThen Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”
Read word by wordSo they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
Read word by wordWhen they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
Read word by word“Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.”
Read word by wordAfter this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.
Read word by wordAt sunset Joshua ordered that they be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave in which they had hidden. Then large stones were placed against the mouth of the cave, and the stones are there to this day.
Read word by wordOn that day Joshua captured Makkedah and put it to the sword, along with its king. He devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. So he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Read word by wordThen Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.
Read word by wordAnd the LORD also delivered that city and its king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the king of Libnah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Read word by wordAnd Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
Read word by wordAnd the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and Joshua captured it on the second day. He put all the people to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.
Read word by wordAt that time Horam king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
Read word by wordSo Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
Read word by wordThat day they captured Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction everyone in the city, just as he had done to Lachish.
Read word by wordThen Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.
Read word by wordThey captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it.
Read word by wordFinally Joshua and all Israel with him turned toward Debir and fought against it.
Read word by wordAnd they captured Debir, its king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debir and its king as he had done to Hebron and as he had done to Libnah and its king.
Read word by wordSo Joshua conquered the whole region—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes, together with all their kings—leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.
Read word by wordJoshua conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
