And as heard that Joshua took Ai, and utterly destroyed it, in which manner he did to Jericho and her king, and thus they did also to Ai and her king, and that deserted to Joshua and to Israel, and were in of them;
that they feared among themselves exceedingly. For he knew that city as also one of the mother-cities of the kings, for it over Ai, and all its men
And sent to Holam king of Hebron, and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Come, ascend to me, and help me! and we shall wage war against Gibeon. For it deserted to Joshua, and to the sons of Israel!
And they gathered and ascended the five kings of the Amorites of Jerusalem, and of Hebron, and of Jerimuth, and of Lachish, and of Eglon, they and all their people; and they besieged Gibeon and it.
And sent to Joshua into the camp of Israel in Gilgal, saying, Do not loosen your hands from your servants! Ascend to us quickly and rescue us, and help us! for are gathering the ones dwelling in the mountainous area.
And Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he and every warrior with him, all mighty in strength.
And to Joshua, Do not fear them! for into your hands I have delivered them; there shall not stand even one of them before you.
And when came suddenly, night he was gone from out of Gilgal,
that startled from in front of Israel, and defeated in Gibeon. And they pursued them by the way ascending to Beth-horon, and they slew them unto Azekah and unto Makkedah.
But in their fleeing from in front of the sons of Israel at the descent of Beth-horon, that cast upon them stones of hail from out of the heaven unto Azekah. And there were more dying by the stones of hail than which were killed by the sons of Israel by sword in the battle.
Then Joshua spoke to in the day God delivered up the Amorites under the hand of the sons of Israel. And Joshua said, the and the moon over of Ajalon.
And stood in position until God repulsed their enemies. Is this not written in of the upright? And stood in of the heaven, it did not go forth into descent for day
And there was not a day nor former nor latter, so as for God to heed of man, because joined in war with Israel.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him to the camp in Gilgal.
And fled and hid in the cave the one in Makkedah.
And it was reported to Joshua, saying, have been found hiding in the cave, the one in Makkedah.
And Joshua said, Roll stones upon the mouth of the cave, and place upon them men to guard them!
But you do not stand firmly! be pursuing after your enemies, and overtake their rear guard, and do not let them enter into their cities! delivered into our hands.
And it came to pass as Joshua rested, and the son of Israel, in beating them slaughter even unto completion, that the ones surviving were delivered from them, and entered into the cities
And returned to Joshua in Makkedah in the camp in health; and not growled with his tongue.
And Joshua said, Open the cave, and lead out to me five from out of the cave!
And they did thus, and they led to him five out of the cave the king of Jerusalem, and the king of Hebron, and the king of Jarmuth, and the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
And when they led them to Joshua, then Joshua called together every man of Israel, saying to them, and the ones commencing the war of the ones going with him, saying to them, Go forth and place your feet upon their necks! And coming forward, they placed their feet upon their necks.
And said You should not fear them nor be timid; be manly and be strong! for thus to all your enemies whom you make war against them.
And killed and put them to death, and hung them upon five trees. And they were hanging upon the trees until evening.
And it came to pass towards of the sun, and Joshua gave charge, and they lowered them from the trees. And they tossed them into the cave into which they took refuge there. And they rolled stones upon the cave, the day today.
And Makkedah in that day, and he slaughtered it by of the sword, and the king. And they utterly destroyed them, and every one breathing was in it. And there was not left behind in it any one surviving. And they did to the king of Makkedah in which manner they did to the king of Jericho.
And Joshua went forth, and all Israel with him, from out of Makkedah unto Libna. And they assaulted against Libna.
And it also into of Israel. And they took it, and its king. And they slaughtered it by of the sword, and every one breathing was in it; there was not left behind in her not even one surviving and having escaped. And they did its king in which manner they did to the king of Jericho.
And Joshua went forth, and all Israel with him, from out of Libna unto Lachish; and he besieged it, and assaulted it.
And Lachish into the hands of Israel. And he took it on the second day, and he slaughtered it by of the sword, and utterly destroyed it in which manner he did to Libna.
Then ascended to help Lachish. And struck by of the sword, and his people, until not being left behind of them one being delivered and escaping.
And Joshua went forth, and all Israel with him, from Lachish unto Eglon, and he besieged it, and captured it.
And delivered into of Israel. And he took it in that day, and he slaughtered it by of the sword, and every one breathing in it. In that day they slaughtered in which manner they did to Lachish.
And Joshua went forth, and all Israel with him, from Eglon unto Hebron. And they besieged it.
And they overtook it, and struck it by of the sword, and its king, and all its villages, and every one breathing, as many as was in it. There was not one surviving. In which manner they did Eglon, also they utterly destroyed it and all breathing, as much as it.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and they besieged it.
And and they took it, and its king, and all her towns; and they struck it by of the sword, and they utterly destroyed it, and every one breathing in it, and they did not leave behind one surviving. In which manner they did to Hebron, so they did to Dabir, and its king; just as he did to Libna and its king.
And Joshua struck all of the mountainous area, and the Negev, and the plain, and Asedoth, and all its kings; they did not leave behind in it one being delivered, and every one breathing life they utterly destroyed; in which manner gave charge
And killed from Kadesh Barnea unto Gaza, all the land of Goshen unto Gibeon.
And all these kings and their land Joshua took at once; for God of Israel joined in war with Israel.
And Joshua returned to Gilgal.
