¹⁴ But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And it came to pass 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 wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
