Joshua 10:3Therefore 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,Joshua 10:4“Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”Joshua 10:5So 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.Joshua 10:6Then 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.”Joshua 10:7So Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.Joshua 10:8The 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.”Joshua 10:9After marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.Joshua 10:10And 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.Joshua 10:11As 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.Joshua 10:12On 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.”Joshua 10:13So 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.”Joshua 10:14There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man, because the LORD fought for Israel.Joshua 10:15Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.Joshua 10:16Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.Joshua 10:17And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”Joshua 10:18So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.Joshua 10:19But 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.”Joshua 10:20So 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.Joshua 10:21The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.Joshua 10:22Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”Joshua 10:23So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.Joshua 10:24When 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.Joshua 10:25“Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.”Joshua 10:26After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.Joshua 10:27At 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.Joshua 11:21At that time Joshua proceeded to eliminate the Anakim from the hill country of Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and of Israel. Joshua devoted them to destruction, along with their cities.Joshua 15:7Then the border went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, turning north to Gilgal, which faces the Ascent of Adummim south of the ravine. It continued along the waters of En-shemesh and came out at En-rogel.Joshua 15:15From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).Joshua 15:16And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”Joshua 15:17So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.Joshua 15:49Dannah, Kiriath-sannah (that is, Debir),Joshua 21:15Holon, Debir,Judges 1:12And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”Judges 1:13So Othniel son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
