1So, Adoni–zedek, the king of Jerusalem, heard how Joshua totally wrecked Ai, just like he did with Jericho and its king. Gibeon was vibing with Israel, so it was all chill.

2They were shook, 'cause Gibeon was a big deal, like a royal city, and way stronger than Ai, with some serious rizz on their squad.

3Adoni–zedek hit up Hoham, king of Hebron, Piram, king of Jarmuth, Japhia, king of Lachish, and Debir, king of Eglon, saying,

4"Yo, come through and help me out so we can take down Gibeon, 'cause they’re tight with Joshua and the Israel crew."

5So the five kings of the Amorites, including the king of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon, gathered their squads and rolled up on Gibeon to start some drama.

6The Gibeon homies sent a message to Joshua at Gilgal, like, "Don’t ghost us; come quick and save us, 'cause all the kings of the Amorites are coming for us."

7Joshua bounced from Gilgal with his whole war crew and all the goated warriors.

8The Lord told Joshua, "No cap, don’t be scared of them; I got you covered, and none of them will stand against you."

9Joshua pulled up on them outta nowhere and made the trek from Gilgal all night.

10The Lord straight-up threw them off their game before Israel, taking them out big time at Gibeon and chasing them on the way to Beth–horon, wrecking them all the way to Azekah and Makkedah.

11So, as they were bouncing from Israel, headed down to Beth-horon, the Lord dropped massive stones from the sky on them, and they were donezo: more peeps got taken out by the hail than by the Israelites' swords.

12Then Joshua hit up the Lord on the day He served the Amorites to Israel, saying, "Yo Sun, just chill in Gibeon; and you, Moon, stay in the Ajalon valley."

13And the sun just vibed there, and the moon was like, "I’m not moving," until the people got their revenge on their enemies. Ain’t this in the book of Jasher? The sun was lit, just hanging out in the sky, not going down for a whole day.

14There’s never been a day like that, before or after, when the Lord listened to a dude: 'cause the Lord was out here fighting for Israel.

15Then Joshua came back, with all of Israel, to the camp at Gilgal.

16But those five kings dipped and hid in a cave at Makkedah.

17And Joshua got the tea that the five kings were hiding in a cave at Makkedah.

18Joshua said, "Roll some big stones over the cave entrance, and put some guys there to keep watch."

19And don’t just chill, go after your enemies and take out the stragglers; don’t let them get back to their cities, 'cause the Lord your God has handed them to you.

20So, when Joshua and the Israelites finished taking them out with a major slaughter, until they were all gone, the rest that remained ran into the fortified cities.

21Everyone rolled back to camp with Joshua at Makkedah, all chill vibes; no one was talking smack about the Israelites.

22Then Joshua was like, "Yo, open that cave up and bring me those five kings."

23They did it, and out came those five kings: the king of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.

24When they brought the kings to Joshua, he called all the Israel dudes over and told the war captains, "Come through, step on these kings' necks." They rolled up and did just that.

25Joshua said, "No cap, don’t be scared or shook; be strong and brave. This is how the Lord rolls with all your enemies."

26Then Joshua took them out, took them down, and hung them on five trees; they were chilling there until evening.

27When the sun was setting, Joshua told them to take the kings down from the trees and toss them into the cave where they were hiding, putting big rocks at the cave's mouth that are still there today.

28That day, Joshua took Makkedah, sliced it up with the sword, totally wrecked the king and everyone there; he didn’t let anyone slide, just like he did with Jericho’s king.

29Then Joshua and all Israel dipped from Makkedah to Libnah and threw down against Libnah.

30The Lord handed it over, along with its king, to Israel; they took it out with the sword and didn’t leave anyone behind, just like with Jericho’s king.

31Joshua rolled out from Libnah with the whole squad to Lachish, set up camp, and got ready to throw down.

32The Lord handed Lachish to Israel, and they took it on day two, slicing through with the sword, just like they did with Libnah.

33Then Horam, the king of Gezer, showed up to back Lachish; Joshua clapped him and his crew until nobody was left.

34From Lachish, Joshua dipped to Eglon with the whole crew; they set up camp and got ready to fight.

35They snagged it that day, took it out with the sword, and wiped out everyone there, just like they did with Lachish.

36Joshua bounced from Eglon with the squad to Hebron, and they threw down there.

37They took it, sliced through with the sword, and wiped out the king and all the cities; nobody was left, just like Eglon.

38Joshua came back with all Israel to Debir and got ready to fight.

39They took it, the king, and all the cities, slashed them with the sword, and completely wiped out everyone there, just like he did to Hebron and Libnah.

40So Joshua took out all the hills, the south, the valleys, and the springs, and all their kings; nobody was left, just like the Lord God of Israel said.

41Joshua straight up took out those foes from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the vibes in Goshen to Gibeon.

42Joshua snagged all those kings and their land at once, 'cause the Lord God of Israel was fighting for the squad.

43Joshua rolled back with all of Israel to the camp at Gilgal, no cap.

1Now it came to pass, when Adoni–zedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;

2That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.

3Wherefore 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,

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

5Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.

6And 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.

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

8And 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.

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

10And 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.

11And 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.

12Then 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.

13And 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.

14And 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.

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

16But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.

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

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

19And 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.

20And 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.

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

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

23And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

24And 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.

25And 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.

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

27And 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.

28And 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.

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

30And 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.

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

32And 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.

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

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

35And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.

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

37And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.

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

39And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.

40So 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.

41And Joshua smote them from Kadesh–barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.

42And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.

43And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
