Joshua 10:22-28
Joshua 10:22-28 TPT
Then Joshua ordered, “Open up the cave and bring the five kings out to me.” So Joshua’s men removed the five kings from the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, and brought them before Joshua. Joshua summoned all of Israel and ordered his army officers, “Place your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they placed their feet upon their necks! Then Joshua said to his officers, “Never be afraid of your enemies or let them discourage you. Be strong and filled with courage! YAHWEH is going to do to all your enemies what he’s done to these kings!” Then Joshua had the kings executed and hanged on five trees, and he left them there until evening. At sunset, Joshua ordered them taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave where they had been hiding. He had large stones rolled over the mouth of the cave, and they remain there to this day. That day, Joshua captured Makkedah, annihilated the inhabitants, and put its king to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to its king what had been done to the king of Jericho.
