1. And it cometh to pass, when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heareth that Joshua hath captured Ai, and doth devote it (as he had done to Jericho and to her king so he hath done to Ai and to her king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon have made peace with Israel, and are in their midst, --
|
1. Now it came to pass H1961 , when Adoni H139 -zedek king H4428 of Jerusalem H3389 had heard H8085 how H3588 Joshua H3091 had taken H3920 H853 Ai H5857 , and had utterly destroyed H2763 it; as H834 he had done H6213 to Jericho H3405 and her king H4428 , so H3651 he had done H6213 to Ai H5857 and her king H4428 ; and how H3588 the inhabitants H3427 of Gibeon H1391 had made peace H7999 with H854 Israel H3478 , and were H1961 among H7130 them;
|
|
2. that they are greatly afraid, because Gibeon is a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it is greater than Ai, and all its men -- heroes.
|
2. That they feared H3372 greatly H3966 , because H3588 Gibeon H1391 was a great H1419 city H5892 , as one H259 of the royal H4467 cities H5892 , and because H3588 it H1931 was greater H1419 than H4480 Ai H5857 , and all H3605 the men H376 thereof were mighty H1368 .
|
|
3. And Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sendeth unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,
|
3. Wherefore Adoni H139 -zedek king H4428 of Jerusalem H3389 sent H7971 unto H413 Hoham H1944 king H4428 of Hebron H2275 , and unto H413 Piram H6502 king H4428 of Jarmuth H3412 , and unto H413 Japhia H3309 king H4428 of Lachish H3923 , and unto H413 Debir H1688 king H4428 of Eglon H5700 , saying H559 ,
|
|
4. `Come up unto me, and help me, and we smite Gibeon, for it hath made peace with Joshua, and with the sons of Israel.`
|
4. Come up H5927 unto H413 me , and help H5826 me , that we may smite H5221 H853 Gibeon H1391 : for H3588 it hath made peace H7999 with H854 Joshua H3091 and with H854 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
5. And five kings of the Amorite (the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon) are gathered together, and go up, they and all their camps, and encamp against Gibeon, and fight against it.
|
5. Therefore the five H2568 kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 , the king H4428 of Jerusalem H3389 , the king H4428 of Hebron H2275 , the king H4428 of Jarmuth H3412 , the king H4428 of Lachish H3923 , the king H4428 of Eglon H5700 , gathered themselves together H622 , and went up H5927 , they H1992 and all H3605 their hosts H4264 , and encamped H2583 before H5921 Gibeon H1391 , and made war H3898 against H5921 it.
|
|
6. And the men of Gibeon send unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, saying, `Let not thy hand cease from thy servants; come up unto us with haste, and give safety to us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorite, dwelling in the hill-country, have been assembled against us.`
|
6. And the men H376 of Gibeon H1391 sent H7971 unto H413 Joshua H3091 to H413 the camp H4264 to Gilgal H1537 , saying H559 , Slack H7503 not H408 thy hand H3027 from thy servants H4480 H5650 ; come up H5927 to H413 us quickly H4120 , and save H3467 us , and help H5826 us: for H3588 all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 that dwell H3427 in the mountains H2022 are gathered together H6908 against H413 us.
|
|
7. And Joshua goeth up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, even all the mighty men of valour.
|
7. So Joshua H3091 ascended H5927 from H4480 Gilgal H1537 , he H1931 , and all H3605 the people H5971 of war H4421 with H5973 him , and all H3605 the mighty men H1368 of valor H2428 .
|
|
8. And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `Be not afraid of them, for into thy hand I have given them, there doth not stand a man of them in thy presence.`
|
8. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Joshua H3091 , Fear H3372 them not H408 : for H3588 I have delivered H5414 them into thine hand H3027 ; there shall not H3808 a man H376 of H4480 them stand H5975 before H6440 thee.
|
|
9. And Joshua cometh in unto them suddenly (all the night he hath gone up from Gilgal),
|
9. Joshua H3091 therefore came H935 unto H413 them suddenly H6597 , and went up H5927 from H4480 Gilgal H1537 all H3605 night H3915 .
|
|
10. and Jehovah doth crush them before Israel, and it smiteth them -- a great smiting -- at Gibeon, and pursueth them the way of the ascent of Beth-Horon, and smiteth them unto Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
|
10. And the LORD H3068 discomfited H2000 them before H6440 Israel H3478 , and slew H5221 them with a great H1419 slaughter H4347 at Gibeon H1391 , and chased H7291 them along the way H1870 that goeth up H4608 to Beth H1032 -horon , and smote H5221 them to H5704 Azekah H5825 , and unto H5704 Makkedah H4719 .
|
|
11. And it cometh to pass, in their fleeing from the face of Israel -- they are in the descent of Beth-Horon -- and Jehovah hath cast upon them great stones out of the heavens, unto Azekah, and they die; more are they who have died by the hailstones than they whom the sons of Israel have slain by the sword.
|
11. And it came to pass H1961 , as they fled H5127 from before H4480 H6440 Israel H3478 , and were in the going down H4174 to Beth H1032 -horon , that the LORD H3068 cast down H7993 great H1419 stones H68 from H4480 heaven H8064 upon H5921 them unto H5704 Azekah H5825 , and they died H4191 : they were more H7227 which H834 died H4191 with hailstones H1259 H68 than they whom H4480 H834 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 slew H2026 with the sword H2719 .
|
|
12. Then speaketh Joshua to Jehovah in the day of Jehovah`s giving up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he saith, before the eyes of Israel, `Sun -- in Gibeon stand still; and moon -- in the valley of Ajalon;`
|
12. Then H227 spoke H1696 Joshua H3091 to the LORD H3068 in the day H3117 when the LORD H3068 delivered up H5414 H853 the Amorites H567 before H6440 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and he said H559 in the sight H5869 of Israel H3478 , Sun H8121 , stand thou still H1826 upon Gibeon H1391 ; and thou, Moon H3394 , in the valley H6010 of Ajalon H357 .
|
|
13. and the sun standeth still, and the moon hath stood -- till the nation taketh vengeance on its enemies; is it not written on the Book of the Upright, `and the sun standeth in the midst of the heavens, and hath not hasted to go in -- as a perfect day?`
|
13. And the sun H8121 stood still H1826 , and the moon H3394 stayed H5975 , until H5704 the people H1471 had avenged H5358 themselves upon their enemies H341 . Is not H3808 this H1931 written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of Jasher H3477 ? So the sun H8121 stood H5975 still in the midst H2677 of heaven H8064 , and hasted H213 not H3808 to go down H935 about a whole H8549 day H3117 .
|
|
14. And there hath not been like that day before it or after it, for Jehovah`s hearkening to the voice of a man; for Jehovah is fighting for Israel.
|
14. And there was H1961 no H3808 day H3117 like that H1931 before H6440 it or after H310 it , that the LORD H3068 hearkened H8085 unto the voice H6963 of a man H376 : for H3588 the LORD H3068 fought H3898 for Israel H3478 .
|
|
15. And Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
|
15. And Joshua H3091 returned H7725 , and all H3605 Israel H3478 with H5973 him, unto H413 the camp H4264 to Gilgal H1537 .
|
|
16. And these five kings flee, and are hidden in a cave at Makkedah,
|
16. But these H428 five H2568 kings H4428 fled H5127 , and hid themselves H2244 in a cave H4631 at Makkedah H4719 .
|
|
17. and it is declared to Joshua, saying, `The five kings have been found hidden in a cave at Makkedah.`
|
17. And it was told H5046 Joshua H3091 , saying H559 , The five H2568 kings H4428 are found H4672 hid H2244 in a cave H4631 at Makkedah H4719 .
|
|
18. And Joshua saith, `Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and appoint over it men to watch them;
|
18. And Joshua H3091 said H559 , Roll H1556 great H1419 stones H68 upon H413 the mouth H6310 of the cave H4631 , and set H6485 men H376 by H5921 it for to keep H8104 them:
|
|
19. and ye, stand not, pursue after your enemies, and ye have smitten the hindmost of them; suffer them not to go in unto their cities, for Jehovah your God hath given them into your hand.`
|
19. And stay H5975 ye H859 not H408 , but pursue H7291 after H310 your enemies H341 , and smite the hindmost H2179 of them; suffer H5414 them not H408 to enter H935 into H413 their cities H5892 : for H3588 the LORD H3068 your God H430 hath delivered H5414 them into your hand H3027 .
|
|
20. And it cometh to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel finish to smite them -- a very great smiting, till they are consumed, and the remnant who have remained of them go in unto the fenced cities,
|
20. And it came to pass H1961 , when Joshua H3091 and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 had made an end H3615 of slaying H5221 them with a very H3966 great H1419 slaughter H4347 , till H5704 they were consumed H8552 , that the rest H8300 which remained H8277 of H4480 them entered H935 into H413 fenced H4013 cities H5892 .
|
|
21. that all the people turn back to the camp, unto Joshua, at Makkedah, in peace; none moved sharply his tongue against the sons of Israel.
|
21. And all H3605 the people H5971 returned H7725 to H413 the camp H4264 to H413 Joshua H3091 at Makkedah H4719 in peace H7965 : none H3808 moved H2782 H853 his tongue H3956 against any H376 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
22. And Joshua saith, `Open ye the mouth of the cave, and bring out unto me these five kings from the cave;`
|
22. Then said H559 Joshua H3091 , Open H6605 H853 the mouth H6310 of the cave H4631 , and bring out H3318 H853 those H428 five H2568 kings H4428 unto H413 me out of H4480 the cave H4631 .
|
|
23. and they do so, and bring out unto him these five kings from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
|
23. And they did H6213 so H3651 , and brought forth H3318 H853 those H428 five H2568 kings H4428 unto H413 him out of H4480 the cave H4631 , H853 the king H4428 of Jerusalem H3389 , H853 the king H4428 of Hebron H2275 , H853 the king H4428 of Jarmuth H3412 , H853 the king H4428 of Lachish H3923 , and H853 the king H4428 of Eglon H5700 .
|
|
24. And it cometh to pass, when they bring out these kings unto Joshua, that Joshua calleth unto every man of Israel, and saith unto the captains of the men of war, who have gone with him, `Draw near, set your feet on the necks of these kings;` and they draw near, and set their feet on their necks.
|
24. And it came to pass H1961 , when they brought out H3318 H853 those H428 kings H4428 unto H413 Joshua H3091 , that Joshua H3091 called H7121 for H413 all H3605 the men H376 of Israel H3478 , and said H559 unto H413 the captains H7101 of the men H376 of war H4421 which went H1980 with H854 him , Come near H7126 , put H7760 H853 your feet H7272 upon H5921 the necks H6677 of these H428 kings H4428 . And they came near H7126 , and put H7760 H853 their feet H7272 upon H5921 the necks H6677 of them.
|
|
25. And Joshua saith unto them, `Fear not, nor be affrighted; be strong and courageous; for thus doth Jehovah do to all your enemies with whom ye are fighting;`
|
25. And Joshua H3091 said H559 unto H413 them, Fear H3372 not H408 , nor H408 be dismayed H2865 , be strong H2388 and of good courage H553 : for H3588 thus H3602 shall the LORD H3068 do H6213 to all H3605 your enemies H341 against whom H834 H853 ye H859 fight H3898 .
|
|
26. and Joshua smiteth them afterwards, and putteth them to death, and hangeth them on five trees; and they are hanging on the trees till the evening.
|
26. And afterward H310 H3651 Joshua H3091 smote H5221 them , and slew H4191 them , and hanged H8518 them on H5921 five H2568 trees H6086 : and they were H1961 hanging H8518 upon H5921 the trees H6086 until H5704 the evening H6153 .
|
|
27. And it cometh to pass, at the time of the going in of the sun, Joshua hath commanded, and they take them down from off the trees, and cast them unto the cave where they had been hid, and put great stones on the mouth of the cave till this very day.
|
27. And it came to pass H1961 at the time H6256 of the going down H935 of the sun H8121 , that Joshua H3091 commanded H6680 , and they took them down H3381 off the trees H4480 H5921 H6086 , and cast H7993 them into H413 the cave H4631 wherein H834 H8033 they had been hid H2244 , and laid H7760 great H1419 stones H68 in H5921 the cave H4631 's mouth H6310 , which remain until H5704 this H2088 very H6106 day H3117 .
|
|
28. And Makkedah hath Joshua captured on that day, and he smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and its king he hath devoted, them and every person who is in it -- he hath not left a remnant; and he doth to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.
|
28. And that H1931 day H3117 Joshua H3091 took H3920 Makkedah H4719 , and smote H5221 it with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 , and the king H4428 thereof he utterly destroyed H2763 them , and all H3605 the souls H5315 that H834 were therein ; he let H7604 none H3808 remain H8300 : and he did H6213 to the king H4428 of Makkedah H4719 as H834 he did H6213 unto the king H4428 of Jericho H3405 .
|
|
29. And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah to Libnah, and fighteth with Libnah;
|
29. Then Joshua H3091 passed H5674 from Makkedah H4480 H4719 , and all H3605 Israel H3478 with H5973 him , unto Libnah H3841 , and fought H3898 against H5973 Libnah H3841 :
|
|
30. and Jehovah giveth also it into the hand of Israel, and its king, and it smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who is in it -- it left not in it a remnant; and it doth to its king as it did to the king of Jericho.
|
30. And the LORD H3068 delivered H5414 it also H1571 , and the king H4428 thereof , into the hand H3027 of Israel H3478 ; and he smote H5221 it with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 , and all H3605 the souls H5315 that H834 were therein ; he let H7604 none H3808 remain H8300 in it ; but did H6213 unto the king H4428 thereof as H834 he did H6213 unto the king H4428 of Jericho H3405 .
|
|
31. And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and encampeth against it, and fighteth against it;
|
31. And Joshua H3091 passed H5674 from Libnah H4480 H3841 , and all H3605 Israel H3478 with H5973 him , unto Lachish H3923 , and encamped H2583 against H5921 it , and fought H3898 against it:
|
|
32. And Jehovah giveth Lachish into the hand of Israel, and it captureth it on the second day, and smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who is in it, according to all that it did to Libnah.
|
32. And the LORD H3068 delivered H5414 H853 Lachish H3923 into the hand H3027 of Israel H3478 , which took H3920 it on the second H8145 day H3117 , and smote H5221 it with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 , and all H3605 the souls H5315 that H834 were therein , according to all H3605 that H834 he had done H6213 to Libnah H3841 .
|
|
33. Than hath Horam king of Gezer come up to help Lachish, and Joshua smiteth him and his people, till he hath not left to him a remnant.
|
33. Then H227 Horam H2036 king H4428 of Gezer H1507 came up H5927 to help H5826 H853 Lachish H3923 ; and Joshua H3091 smote H5221 him and his people H5971 , until H5704 he had left H7604 him none H1115 remaining H8300 .
|
|
34. And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Lachish to Eglon, and they encamp against it, and fight against it,
|
34. And from Lachish H4480 H3923 Joshua H3091 passed H5674 unto Eglon H5700 , and all H3605 Israel H3478 with H5973 him ; and they encamped H2583 against H5921 it , and fought H3898 against H5921 it:
|
|
35. and capture it on that day, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who is in it on that day he hath devoted, according to all that he did to Lachish.
|
35. And they took H3920 it on that H1931 day H3117 , and smote H5221 it with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 , and all H3605 the souls H5315 that H834 were therein he utterly destroyed H2763 that H1931 day H3117 , according to all H3605 that H834 he had done H6213 to Lachish H3923 .
|
|
36. And Joshua goeth up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon to Hebron, and they fight against it,
|
36. And Joshua H3091 went up H5927 from Eglon H4480 H5700 , and all H3605 Israel H3478 with H5973 him , unto Hebron H2275 ; and they fought H3898 against H5921 it:
|
|
37. and capture it, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and every person who is in it -- he hath not left a remnant -- according to all that he did to Eglon -- and doth devote it, and every person who is in it.
|
37. And they took H3920 it , and smote H5221 it with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 , and the king H4428 thereof , and all H3605 the cities H5892 thereof , and all H3605 the souls H5315 that H834 were therein ; he left H7604 none H3808 remaining H8300 , according to all H3605 that H834 he had done H6213 to Eglon H5700 ; but destroyed H2763 it utterly , and all H3605 the souls H5315 that H834 were therein.
|
|
38. And Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fighteth against it,
|
38. And Joshua H3091 returned H7725 , and all H3605 Israel H3478 with H5973 him , to Debir H1688 ; and fought H3898 against H5921 it:
|
|
39. and captureth it, and its king, and all its cities, and they smite them by the mouth of the sword, and devote every person who is in it -- he hath not left a remnant; as he did to Hebron so he did to Debir, and to its king, and as he did to Libnah, and to its king.
|
39. And he took H3920 it , and the king H4428 thereof , and all H3605 the cities H5892 thereof ; and they smote H5221 them with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 , and utterly destroyed H2763 H853 all H3605 the souls H5315 that H834 were therein ; he left H7604 none H3808 remaining H8300 : as H834 he had done H6213 to Hebron H2275 , so H3651 he did H6213 to Debir H1688 , and to the king H4428 thereof; as H834 he had done H6213 also to Libnah H3841 , and to her king H4428 .
|
|
40. And Joshua smiteth all the land of the hill-country, and of the south, and of the low-country, and of the springs, and all their kings -- he hath not left a remnant, and all that doth breathe he hath devoted, as Jehovah, God of Israel, commanded.
|
40. So Joshua H3091 smote H5221 H853 all H3605 the country H776 of the hills H2022 , and of the south H5045 , and of the vale H8219 , and of the springs H794 , and all H3605 their kings H4428 : he left H7604 none H3808 remaining H8300 , but utterly destroyed H2763 all H3605 that breathed H5397 , as H834 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 commanded H6680 .
|
|
41. And Joshua smiteth them from Kadesh-Barnea, even unto Gaza, and all the land of Goshen, even unto Gibeon;
|
41. And Joshua H3091 smote H5221 them from Kadesh H4480 H6947 -barnea even unto H5704 Gaza H5804 , and all H3605 the country H776 of Goshen H1657 , even unto H5704 Gibeon H1391 .
|
|
42. and all these kings and their land hath Joshua captured at one time, for Jehovah, God of Israel, is fighting for Israel.
|
42. And all H3605 these H428 kings H4428 and their land H776 did Joshua H3091 take H3920 at one H259 time H6471 , because H3588 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 fought H3898 for Israel H3478 .
|
|
43. and Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
|
43. And Joshua H3091 returned H7725 , and all H3605 Israel H3478 with H5973 him, unto H413 the camp H4264 to Gilgal H1537 .
