Ioshua 10

1 Five kings war against Gibeon. 6 Joshua rescueth it. 11 God fighteth against them with hailstones. 12 The sun and moon stand still at the word of Joshua. 16 The five kings are mured in a cave. 23 They are brought forth, 24 scornfully used, 26 and hanged. 28 Seven kings more are conquered. 43 Joshua returneth to Gilgal.

 10:1 ¶ Now it came to passe x1961 when Adoni-zedek 139 King 4428 of Ierusalem, 3389 had heard 8085 z8800 how 3588 Ioshua 3091 had taken 3920 z8804 x853 Ai, 5857 and had vtterly destroyed 2763 z8686 it, (as x834 he had done 6213 z8804 to Iericho, 3405 and her King, 4428 so x3651 hee had done 6213 z8804 to Ai, 5857 and her King) 4428 and how x3588 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Gibeon 1391 had made peace 7999 z8689 with x854 Israel, 3478 and were x1961 among 7130 them,

 10:2 That they feared 3372 z8799 greatly 3966 because x3588 Gibeon 1391 [was] a great 1419 citie, 5892 as one 259 of the royall 4467 cities, 5892 and because x3588 it x1931 [was] greater 1419 then x4480 Ai, 5857 and all x3605 the men y582 x376 thereof [were] mighty. 1368

 10:3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek 139 King 4428 of Ierusalem, 3389 sent 7971 z8799 vnto x413 Hoham 1944 King 4428 of Hebron, 2275 and vnto x413 Piram, 6502 king 4428 of Iarmuth, 3412 and vnto x413 Iaphia 3309 king 4428 of Lachish, 3923 and vnto x413 Debir 1688 king 4428 of Eglon, 5700 saying, 559 z8800

 10:4 Come vp 5927 z8798 vnto x413 me, and helpe 5826 z8798 me, that we may smite 5221 z8686 x853 Gibeon: 1391 for x3588 it hath made peace 7999 z8689 with x854 Ioshua, 3091 and with x854 the children 1121 of Israel. 3478

 10:5 Therefore the fiue 2568 Kings 4428 of the Amorites, 567 the king 4428 of Ierusalem, 3389 the king 4428 of Hebron, 2275 the king 4428 of Iarmuth, 3412 the king 4428 of Lachish, 3923 the king 4428 of Eglon, 5700 gathered themselues together, 622 z8735 and went vp, 5927 z8799 they, x1992 and all x3605 their hostes, 4264 and encamped 2583 z8799 before x5921 Gibeon, 1391 and made warre 3898 z8735 against x5921 it.

 10:6 ¶ And the men y582 x376 of Gibeon 1391 sent 7971 z8799 vnto x413 Ioshua 3091 to x413 the campe 4264 to Gilgal, 1537 saying, 559 z8800 Slacke 7503 z8686 not x408 thy hand 3027 from thy seruants, 5650 x4480 come vp 5927 z8798 to x413 vs quickly, 4120 and saue 3467 z8685 vs, and helpe 5826 z8798 vs: for x3588 all x3605 the kings 4428 of the Amorites 567 that dwell 3427 z8802 in the mountaines, 2022 are gathered together 6908 z8738 against x413 vs.

 10:7 So Ioshua 3091 ascended 5927 z8799 from x4480 Gilgal, 1537 he, x1931 and all x3605 the people 5971 of warre 4421 with x5973 him, and all x3605 the mighty y1368 men x1368 of valour. 2428

 10:8 ¶ And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 Ioshua, 3091 Feare 3372 z8799 them not: x408 for x3588 I haue deliuered 5414 z8804 them into thine hand; 3027 there shall not x3808 a man 376 of x4480 them stand 5975 z8799 before 6440 thee.

 10:9 Ioshua 3091 therefore came 935 z8799 vnto x413 them suddenly, 6597 [and] went vp 5927 z8804 from x4480 Gilgal 1537 all x3605 night. 3915

 10:10 And the LORD 3068 discomfited 2000 z8799 them before 6440 Israel, 3478 and slewe 5221 z8686 them with a great 1419 slaughter 4347 at Gibeon, 1391 and chased 7291 z8799 them along the way 1870 that goeth vp 4608 to Bethoron, 1032 and smote 5221 z8686 them to x5704 Azekah 5825 and vnto x5704 Makkedah. 4719

 10:11 And it came to passe x1961 as they fled 5127 z8800 from before 6440 x4480 Israel, 3478 [and] were in the going downe 4174 to Bethoron, 1032 that the LORD 3068 cast downe 7993 z8689 great 1419 stones 68 from x4480 heauen 8064 vpon x5921 them, vnto x5704 Azekah, 5825 and they died: 4191 z8799 they [were] moe 7227 which x834 died 4191 z8804 with hailestones, 1259 68 then they whome 834 x4480 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 slew 2026 z8804 with the sword. 2719

 10:12 ¶ Then x227 spake 1696 z8762 Ioshua 3091 to the LORD 3068 in the day 3117 when the LORD 3068 deliuered vp 5414 z8800 x853 the Amorites 567 before 6440 the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 and hee said 559 z8799 in the sight 5869 of Israel, 3478 Sunne, 8121 stand thou still 1826 z8798 vpon Gibeon, 1391 and thou Moone 3394 in the valley 6010 of Aialon. 357

 10:13 And the Sunne 8121 stood still, 1826 z8799 and the Moone 3394 stayed, 5975 z8804 vntill x5704 the people 1471 had auenged 5358 z8799 themselues vpon their enemies. 341 z8802 Is not x3808 this 1931 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the booke 5612 of Iasher? 3477 So the Sunne 8121 stood x5975 still y5975 z8799 in the midst 2677 of heauen, 8064 and hasted 213 z8804 not x3808 to goe downe, 935 z8800 about a whole 8549 day. 3117

 10:14 And there was x1961 no x3808 day 3117 like that, x1931 before 6440 it, or after 310 it, that the LORD 3068 hearkened 8085 z8800 vnto the voyce 6963 of a man: 376 for x3588 the LORD 3068 fought 3898 z8737 for Israel. 3478

 10:15 ¶ And Ioshua 3091 returned, 7725 z8799 and all x3605 Israel 3478 with x5973 him, vnto x413 the campe 4264 to Gilgal. 1537

 10:16 But these x428 fiue 2568 kings 4428 fled, 5127 z8799 and hid y2244 z8735 themselues x2244 in a caue 4631 at Makkedah. 4719

 10:17 And it was told 5046 z8714 Ioshua, 3091 saying, 559 z8800 The fiue 2568 kings 4428 are found 4672 z8738 hid 2244 z8737 in a caue 4631 at Makkedah. 4719

 10:18 And Ioshua 3091 said, 559 z8799 Roule 1556 z8798 great 1419 stones 68 vpon x413 the mouth 6310 of the caue, 4631 and set 6485 z8685 men y582 x376 by x5921 it, for to keepe 8104 z8800 them.

 10:19 And stay 5975 z8799 you x859 not, x408 [but] pursue 7291 z8798 after 310 your enemies, 341 z8802 and smite the hindmost 2179 z8765 of them, suffer 5414 z8799 them not x408 to enter 935 z8800 into x413 their cities: 5892 for x3588 the LORD 3068 your God 430 hath deliuered 5414 z8804 them into your hand. 3027

 10:20 And it came to passe x1961 when Ioshua 3091 and the children 1121 of Israel 3478 had made an end 3615 z8763 of slaying 5221 z8687 them with a very 3966 great 1419 slaughter, 4347 till x5704 they were consumed, 8552 z8800 that the rest 8300 [which] remained 8277 z8804 of x4480 them, entred 935 z8799 into x413 fenced 4013 cities. 5892

 10:21 And all x3605 the people 5971 returned 7725 z8799 to x413 the campe 4264 to x413 Ioshua 3091 at Makkedah 4719 in peace: 7965 none x3808 mooued 2782 z8804 x853 his tongue 3956 against any 376 of the children 1121 of Israel. 3478

 10:22 Then said 559 z8799 Ioshua, 3091 Open 6605 z8798 x853 the mouth 6310 of the caue, 4631 and bring out 3318 z8685 x853 those x428 fiue 2568 kings 4428 vnto x413 me out of x4480 the caue. 4631

 10:23 And they did 6213 z8799 so, x3651 and brought forth 3318 z8686 x853 those x428 fiue 2568 kings 4428 vnto x413 him out of x4480 the caue, 4631 x853 the king 4428 of Ierusalem, 3389 x853 the king 4428 of Hebron, 2275 x853 the king 4428 of Iarmuth, 3412 x853 the king 4428 of Lachish, 3923 [and] x853 the king 4428 of Eglon. 5700

 10:24 And it came to passe x1961 when they brought out 3318 z8687 x853 those x428 kings 4428 vnto x413 Ioshua, 3091 that Ioshua 3091 called 7121 z8799 for x413 all x3605 the men 376 of Israel, 3478 and saide 559 z8799 vnto x413 the captaines 7101 of the men y582 x376 of war 4421 which went 1980 z8804 with x854 him, Come neere, 7126 z8798 put 7760 z8798 x853 your feete 7272 vpon x5921 the neckes 6677 of these x428 kings. 4428 And they came neere, 7126 z8799 and put 7760 z8799 x853 their feet 7272 vpon x5921 the necks 6677 of them.

 10:25 And Ioshua 3091 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 them, Feare 3372 z8799 not, x408 nor x408 be dismaid, 2865 z8735 bee strong, 2388 z8798 and of good courage: 553 z8798 for x3588 thus x3602 shall the LORD 3068 doe 6213 z8799 to all x3605 your enemies 341 z8802 against whom x834 x853 ye x859 fight. 3898 z8737

 10:26 And afterward 310 x3651 Ioshua 3091 smote 5221 z8686 them, and slew 4191 z8686 them, and hanged 8518 z8799 them on x5921 fiue 2568 trees: 6086 and they were x1961 hanging 8518 z8803 vpon x5921 the trees 6086 vntill x5704 the euening. 6153

 10:27 And it came to passe x1961 at the time 6256 of the going downe 935 z8800 of the Sunne, 8121 [that] Ioshua 3091 commanded, 6680 z8765 and they tooke them downe 3381 z8686 off the trees, 6086 x4480 x5921 and cast 7993 z8686 them into x413 the caue, 4631 wherein x834 x8033 they had beene hid, 2244 z8738 and laid 7760 z8799 great 1419 stones 68 in x5921 the caues 4631 mouth, 6310 [which remain] vntil x5704 this x2088 very 6106 day. 3117

 10:28 ¶ And that x1931 day 3117 Ioshua 3091 tooke 3920 z8804 Makkedah, 4719 and smote 5221 z8686 it with the edge 6310 of the sword, 2719 and the king 4428 thereof hee vtterly destroyed, 2763 z8689 them, and all x3605 the soules 5315 that x834 were therein, he let 7604 z8689 none x3808 remaine: 8300 and he did 6213 z8799 to the king 4428 of Makkedah, 4719 as x834 hee did 6213 z8804 vnto the king 4428 of Iericho. 3405

 10:29 Then Ioshua 3091 passed 5674 z8799 from Makkedah, 4719 x4480 and all x3605 Israel 3478 with x5973 him, vnto Libnah, 3841 and fought 3898 z8735 against x5973 Libnah. 3841

 10:30 And the LORD 3068 deliuered 5414 z8799 it also x1571 and the king 4428 thereof, into the hand 3027 of Israel, 3478 and he smote 5221 z8686 it with the edge 6310 of the sword, 2719 and all x3605 the soules 5315 that x834 [were] therein: He let 7604 z8689 none x3808 remaine 8300 in it, but did 6213 z8799 vnto the king 4428 therof, as x834 he did 6213 z8804 vnto the king 4428 of Iericho. 3405

 10:31 ¶ And Ioshua 3091 passed 5674 z8799 from Libnah 3841 x4480 and all x3605 Israel 3478 with x5973 him, vnto Lachish, 3923 and encamped 2583 z8799 against x5921 it, and fought 3898 z8735 against it.

 10:32 And the LORD 3068 deliuered 5414 z8799 x853 Lachish 3923 into the hande 3027 of Israel, 3478 which tooke 3920 z8799 it on the second 8145 day, 3117 and smote 5221 z8686 it with the edge 6310 of the sword, 2719 and all x3605 the soules 5315 that x834 were therein, according to all x3605 that x834 he had done 6213 z8804 to Libnah. 3841

 10:33 ¶ Then x227 Horam 2036 king 4428 of Gezer, 1507 came vp 5927 z8804 to helpe 5826 z8800 x853 Lachish, 3923 and Ioshua 3091 smote 5221 z8686 him and his people, 5971 vntill x5704 he had left 7604 z8689 him none x1115 remayning. 8300

 10:34 ¶ And from Lachish, 3923 x4480 Ioshua 3091 passed 5674 z8799 vnto Eglon, 5700 and all x3605 Israel 3478 with x5973 him, and they encamped 2583 z8799 against x5921 it, and fought 3898 z8735 against x5921 it.

 10:35 And they tooke 3920 z8799 it on that x1931 day, 3117 and smote 5221 z8686 it with the edge 6310 of the sword, 2719 and all x3605 the soules 5315 that x834 [were] therein he vtterly destroyed 2763 z8689 that x1931 day, 3117 according to all x3605 that x834 he had done 6213 z8804 to Lachish. 3923

 10:36 And Ioshua 3091 went vp 5927 z8799 from Eglon, 5700 x4480 and all x3605 Israel 3478 with x5973 him, vnto Hebron, 2275 and they fought 3898 z8735 against x5921 it.

 10:37 And they tooke 3920 z8799 it, and smote 5221 z8686 it with the edge 6310 of the sword, 2719 and the king 4428 thereof, and all x3605 the cities 5892 thereof, and all x3605 the soules 5315 that x834 [were] therein, he left 7604 z8689 none x3808 remaining, 8300 according to all x3605 that x834 he had done 6213 z8804 to Eglon: 5700 but destroyed 2763 z8686 it vtterly, and all x3605 the soules 5315 that x834 [were] therein.

 10:38 ¶ And Ioshua 3091 returned, 7725 z8799 and all x3605 Israel 3478 with x5973 him to Debir, 1688 and fought 3898 z8735 against x5921 it.

 10:39 And hee tooke 3920 z8799 it, and the King 4428 thereof, and all x3605 the cities 5892 thereof, and they smote 5221 z8686 them with the edge 6310 of the sword, 2719 and vtterly destroyed 2763 z8686 x853 all x3605 the soules 5315 that x834 [were] therein, he left 7604 z8689 none x3808 remayning: 8300 as x834 he had done 6213 z8804 to Hebron, 2275 so x3651 he did 6213 z8804 to Debir, 1688 and to the king 4428 thereof, as x834 he had done 6213 z8804 also to Libnah, 3841 and to her king. 4428

 10:40 ¶ So Ioshua 3091 smote 5221 z8686 x853 all x3605 the countrey 776 of the hils, 2022 and of the South, 5045 and of the vale, 8219 and of the springs, 794 and all x3605 their kings, 4428 hee left 7604 z8689 none x3808 remayning, 8300 but vtterly destroyed 2763 z8689 all x3605 that breathed, 5397 as x834 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 commanded. 6680 z8765

 10:41 And Ioshua 3091 smote 5221 z8686 them from Kadesh-Barnea, 6947 x4480 euen vnto x5704 Gaza, 5804 and all x3605 the countrey 776 of Goshen, 1657 euen vnto x5704 Gibeon. 1391

 10:42 And all x3605 these x428 Kings 4428 and their land 776 did Ioshua 3091 take 3920 z8804 at one 259 time: 6471 because x3588 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 fought 3898 z8737 for Israel. 3478

 10:43 And Ioshua 3091 returned 7725 z8799 & al x3605 Israel 3478 with x5973 him, vnto x413 the campe 4264 to Gilgal. 1537
