Now it came to pass, when AdonizedekH139 kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389 had heardH8085 howH3588 JoshuaH3091 had takenH3920 AiH5857, and had utterly destroyedH2763 it; as he had doneH6213 to JerichoH3405 and her kingH4428, so he had doneH6213 to AiH5857 and her kingH4428; and how the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391 had made peaceH7999 with IsraelH3478, and were amongH7130 them;
That they fearedH3372 greatlyH3966, because GibeonH1391 was a greatH1419 cityH5892, as oneH259 of the royalH4467 citiesH5892, and because it was greaterH1419 than AiH5857, and all the menH582 thereof were mightyH1368. {royal…: Heb. cities of the kingdom}
Wherefore AdonizedekH139 kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389 sentH7971 unto HohamH1944 kingH4428 of HebronH2275, and unto PiramH6502 kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, and unto JaphiaH3309 kingH4428 of LachishH3923, and unto DebirH1688 kingH4428 of EglonH5700, sayingH559,
Come upH5927 unto me, and helpH5826 me, that we may smiteH5221 GibeonH1391: for it hath made peaceH7999 with JoshuaH3091 and with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Therefore the fiveH2568 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, the kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389, the kingH4428 of HebronH2275, the kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, the kingH4428 of LachishH3923, the kingH4428 of EglonH5700, gathered themselves togetherH622, and went upH5927, they and all their hostsH4264, and encampedH2583 before GibeonH1391, and made warH3898 against it.
At that timeH6256 the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, MakeH6213 thee sharpH6697 knivesH2719, and circumciseH4135 againH7725 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 the second timeH8145. {sharp…: or, knives of flints}
And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 him sharpH6697 knivesH2719, and circumcisedH4135 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 at the hillH1389 of the foreskinsH6190. {sharp…: or, knives of flints} {the hill…: or, Gibeah-haaraloth}
And this is the causeH1697 why JoshuaH3091 did circumciseH4135: All the peopleH5971 that came outH3318 of EgyptH4714, that were malesH2145, even all the menH582 of warH4421, diedH4191 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870, after they came outH3318 of EgyptH4714.
NowH3588 all the peopleH5971 that came outH3318 were circumcisedH4135: but all the peopleH5971 that were bornH3209 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 as they came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, them they had not circumcisedH4135.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, till all the peopleH1471 that were menH582 of warH4421, which came outH3318 of EgyptH4714, were consumedH8552, because they obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068: unto whom the LORDH3068 swareH7650 that he would not shewH7200 them the landH776, which the LORDH3068 swareH7650 unto their fathersH1 that he would giveH5414 us, a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.
And their childrenH1121, whom he raised upH6965 in their stead, them JoshuaH3091 circumcisedH4135: for they were uncircumcisedH6189, because they had not circumcisedH4135 them by the wayH1870.
And it came to pass, when they had doneH8552 circumcisingH4135 all the peopleH1471, that they abodeH3427 in their places in the campH4264, till they were wholeH2421. {they had…: Heb. the people had made an end to be circumcised}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 have I rolled awayH1556 the reproachH2781 of EgyptH4714 from off you. Wherefore the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 is calledH7121 GilgalH1537 unto this dayH3117. {Gilgal: that is Rolling}
Now it came to pass, when AdonizedekH139 kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389 had heardH8085 howH3588 JoshuaH3091 had takenH3920 AiH5857, and had utterly destroyedH2763 it; as he had doneH6213 to JerichoH3405 and her kingH4428, so he had doneH6213 to AiH5857 and her kingH4428; and how the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391 had made peaceH7999 with IsraelH3478, and were amongH7130 them;
That they fearedH3372 greatlyH3966, because GibeonH1391 was a greatH1419 cityH5892, as oneH259 of the royalH4467 citiesH5892, and because it was greaterH1419 than AiH5857, and all the menH582 thereof were mightyH1368. {royal…: Heb. cities of the kingdom}
Wherefore AdonizedekH139 kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389 sentH7971 unto HohamH1944 kingH4428 of HebronH2275, and unto PiramH6502 kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, and unto JaphiaH3309 kingH4428 of LachishH3923, and unto DebirH1688 kingH4428 of EglonH5700, sayingH559,
Come upH5927 unto me, and helpH5826 me, that we may smiteH5221 GibeonH1391: for it hath made peaceH7999 with JoshuaH3091 and with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Therefore the fiveH2568 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, the kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389, the kingH4428 of HebronH2275, the kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, the kingH4428 of LachishH3923, the kingH4428 of EglonH5700, gathered themselves togetherH622, and went upH5927, they and all their hostsH4264, and encampedH2583 before GibeonH1391, and made warH3898 against it.
And the menH582 of GibeonH1391 sentH7971 unto JoshuaH3091 to the campH4264 to GilgalH1537, sayingH559, SlackH7503 not thy handH3027 from thy servantsH5650; come upH5927 to us quicklyH4120, and saveH3467 us, and helpH5826 us: for all the kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567 that dwellH3427 in the mountainsH2022 are gathered togetherH6908 against us.
So JoshuaH3091 ascendedH5927 from GilgalH1537, he, and all the peopleH5971 of warH4421 with him, and all the mightyH1368 men of valourH2428.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, FearH3372 them not: for I have deliveredH5414 them into thine handH3027; there shall not a manH376 of them standH5975 beforeH6440 thee.
JoshuaH3091 therefore cameH935 unto them suddenlyH6597, and went upH5927 from GilgalH1537 all nightH3915.
And the LORDH3068 discomfitedH2000 them beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and slewH5221 them with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347 at GibeonH1391, and chasedH7291 them along the wayH1870 that goeth upH4608 to BethhoronH1032, and smoteH5221 them to AzekahH5825, and unto MakkedahH4719.
And it came to pass, as they fledH5127 from beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and were in the going downH4174 to BethhoronH1032, that the LORDH3068 cast downH7993 greatH1419 stonesH68 from heavenH8064 upon them unto AzekahH5825, and they diedH4191: they were moreH7227 which diedH4191 with hailstonesH1259+H68 than they whomH834 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 slewH2026 with the swordH2719.
Then spakeH1696 JoshuaH3091 to the LORDH3068 in the dayH3117 when the LORDH3068 delivered upH5414 the AmoritesH567 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and he saidH559 in the sightH5869 of IsraelH3478, SunH8121, stand thou stillH1826 upon GibeonH1391; and thou, MoonH3394, in the valleyH6010 of AjalonH357. {stand…: Heb. be silent}
And the sunH8121 stood stillH1826, and the moonH3394 stayedH5975, until the peopleH1471 had avengedH5358 themselves upon their enemiesH341. Is not thisH1931 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of JasherH3477? So the sunH8121 stood stillH5975 in the midstH2677 of heavenH8064, and hastedH213 not to go downH935 about a wholeH8549 dayH3117. {Jasher: or, the upright?}
And there was no dayH3117 like that beforeH6440 it or afterH310 it, that the LORDH3068 hearkenedH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of a manH376: for the LORDH3068 foughtH3898 for IsraelH3478.
And JoshuaH3091 returnedH7725, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto the campH4264 to GilgalH1537.
But these fiveH2568 kingsH4428 fledH5127, and hidH2244 themselves in a caveH4631 at MakkedahH4719.
And it was toldH5046 JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, The fiveH2568 kingsH4428 are foundH4672 hidH2244 in a caveH4631 at MakkedahH4719.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, RollH1556 greatH1419 stonesH68 upon the mouthH6310 of the caveH4631, and setH6485 menH582 by it for to keepH8104 them:
And stayH5975 ye not, but pursueH7291 afterH310 your enemiesH341, and smite the hindmostH2179 of them; sufferH5414 them not to enterH935 into their citiesH5892: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 them into your handH3027. {smite…: Heb. cut off the tail}
And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had made an endH3615 of slayingH5221 them with a veryH3966 greatH1419 slaughterH4347, till they were consumedH8552, that the restH8300 which remainedH8277 of them enteredH935 into fencedH4013 citiesH5892.
And all the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 to the campH4264 to JoshuaH3091 at MakkedahH4719 in peaceH7965: none movedH2782 his tongueH3956 against anyH376 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Then saidH559 JoshuaH3091, OpenH6605 the mouthH6310 of the caveH4631, and bring outH3318 those fiveH2568 kingsH4428 unto me out of the caveH4631.
And they didH6213 so, and brought forthH3318 those fiveH2568 kingsH4428 unto him out of the caveH4631, the kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389, the kingH4428 of HebronH2275, the kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, the kingH4428 of LachishH3923, and the kingH4428 of EglonH5700.
And it came to pass, when they brought outH3318 those kingsH4428 unto JoshuaH3091, that JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto the captainsH7101 of the menH582 of warH4421 which wentH1980 with him, Come nearH7126, putH7760 your feetH7272 upon the necksH6677 of these kingsH4428. And they came nearH7126, and putH7760 their feetH7272 upon the necksH6677 of them.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, FearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865, be strongH2388 and of good courageH553: for thus shall the LORDH3068 doH6213 to all your enemiesH341 against whom ye fightH3898.
And afterwardH310 JoshuaH3091 smoteH5221 them, and slewH4191 them, and hangedH8518 them on fiveH2568 treesH6086: and they were hangingH8518 upon the treesH6086 until the eveningH6153.
And it came to pass at the timeH6256 of the going downH935 of the sunH8121, that JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680, and they took them downH3381 off the treesH6086, and castH7993 them into the caveH4631 wherein they had been hidH2244, and laidH7760 greatH1419 stonesH68 in the cave'sH4631 mouthH6310, which remain until this veryH6106 dayH3117.
And that dayH3117 JoshuaH3091 tookH3920 MakkedahH4719, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and the kingH4428 thereof he utterly destroyedH2763, them, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he letH7604 none remainH8300: and he didH6213 to the kingH4428 of MakkedahH4719 as he didH6213 unto the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.
Then JoshuaH3091 passedH5674 from MakkedahH4719, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto LibnahH3841, and foughtH3898 against LibnahH3841:
And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 it also, and the kingH4428 thereof, into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478; and he smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he letH7604 none remainH8300 in it; but didH6213 unto the kingH4428 thereof as he didH6213 unto the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.
And JoshuaH3091 passedH5674 from LibnahH3841, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto LachishH3923, and encampedH2583 against it, and foughtH3898 against it:
And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 LachishH3923 into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478, which tookH3920 it on the secondH8145 dayH3117, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein, according to all that he had doneH6213 to LibnahH3841.
Then HoramH2036 kingH4428 of GezerH1507 came upH5927 to helpH5826 LachishH3923; and JoshuaH3091 smoteH5221 him and his peopleH5971, until he had leftH7604 him none remainingH8300.
And from LachishH3923 JoshuaH3091 passedH5674 unto EglonH5700, and all IsraelH3478 with him; and they encampedH2583 against it, and foughtH3898 against it:
And they tookH3920 it on that dayH3117, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein he utterly destroyedH2763 that dayH3117, according to all that he had doneH6213 to LachishH3923.
And JoshuaH3091 went upH5927 from EglonH5700, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto HebronH2275; and they foughtH3898 against it:
And they tookH3920 it, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and the kingH4428 thereof, and all the citiesH5892 thereof, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he leftH7604 none remainingH8300, according to all that he had doneH6213 to EglonH5700; but destroyedH2763 it utterly, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein.
And JoshuaH3091 returnedH7725, and all IsraelH3478 with him, to DebirH1688; and foughtH3898 against it:
And he tookH3920 it, and the kingH4428 thereof, and all the citiesH5892 thereof; and they smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and utterly destroyedH2763 all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he leftH7604 none remainingH8300: as he had doneH6213 to HebronH2275, so he didH6213 to DebirH1688, and to the kingH4428 thereof; as he had doneH6213 also to LibnahH3841, and to her kingH4428.
So JoshuaH3091 smoteH5221 all the countryH776 of the hillsH2022, and of the southH5045, and of the valeH8219, and of the springsH794, and all their kingsH4428: he leftH7604 none remainingH8300, but utterly destroyedH2763 all that breathedH5397, as the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 commandedH6680.
And JoshuaH3091 smoteH5221 them from KadeshbarneaH6947 even unto GazaH5804, and all the countryH776 of GoshenH1657, even unto GibeonH1391.
And all these kingsH4428 and their landH776 did JoshuaH3091 takeH3920 at oneH259 timeH6471, because the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 foughtH3898 for IsraelH3478.
And JoshuaH3091 returnedH7725, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto the campH4264 to GilgalH1537.
But the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 committedH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764: for AchanH5912, the sonH1121 of CarmiH3756, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, tookH3947 of the accursed thingH2764: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 menH582 from JerichoH3405 to AiH5857, which is besideH5973 BethavenH1007, on the east sideH6924 of BethelH1008, and spakeH559 unto them, sayingH559, Go upH5927 and viewH7270 the countryH776. And the menH582 went upH5927 and viewedH7270 AiH5857.
And they returnedH7725 to JoshuaH3091, and saidH559 unto him, Let not all the peopleH5971 go upH5927; but let about two or threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 go upH5927 and smiteH5221 AiH5857; and make not all the peopleH5971 to labourH3021 thither; for they are but fewH4592. {about…: Heb. about two thousand men, or, about three thousand men}
So there went upH5927 thither of the peopleH5971 about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376: and they fledH5127 beforeH6440 the menH582 of AiH5857.
And the menH582 of AiH5857 smoteH5221 of them about thirtyH7970 and sixH8337 menH376: for they chasedH7291 them from beforeH6440 the gateH8179 even unto ShebarimH7671, and smoteH5221 them in the going downH4174: wherefore the heartsH3824 of the peopleH5971 meltedH4549, and became as waterH4325. {in…: or, in Morad}
And JoshuaH3091 rentH7167 his clothesH8071, and fellH5307 to the earthH776 upon his faceH6440 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 until the eventideH6153, he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and putH5927 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Alas, OH162 LordH136 GODH3069, wherefore hast thou at allH5674 broughtH5674 this peopleH5971 overH5674 JordanH3383, to deliverH5414 us into the handH3027 of the AmoritesH567, to destroyH6 us? would to GodH3863 we had been contentH2974, and dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383!
OH994 LordH136, what shall I sayH559, whenH310 IsraelH3478 turnethH2015 their backsH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341! {backs: Heb. necks}
For the CanaanitesH3669 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 shall hearH8085 of it, and shall environ us roundH5437, and cut offH3772 our nameH8034 from the earthH776: and what wilt thou doH6213 unto thy greatH1419 nameH8034?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Get thee upH6965; wherefore liestH5307 thou thus upon thy faceH6440? {liest: Heb. fallest}
IsraelH3478 hath sinnedH2398, and they have also transgressedH5674 my covenantH1285 which I commandedH6680 them: for they have even takenH3947 of the accursed thingH2764, and have also stolenH1589, and dissembledH3584 also, and they have putH7760 it even among their own stuffH3627.
Therefore the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 couldH3201 not standH6965 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, but turnedH6437 their backsH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, because they were accursedH2764: neither will I be with you any moreH3254, exceptH3808 ye destroyH8045 the accursedH2764 from amongH7130 you.
UpH6965, sanctifyH6942 the peopleH5971, and sayH559, SanctifyH6942 yourselves against to morrowH4279: for thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, There is an accursed thingH2764 in the midstH7130 of thee, O IsraelH3478: thou canstH3201 not standH6965 beforeH6440 thine enemiesH341, until ye take awayH5493 the accursed thingH2764 from amongH7130 you.
In the morningH1242 therefore ye shall be broughtH7126 according to your tribesH7626: and it shall be, that the tribeH7626 which the LORDH3068 takethH3920 shall comeH7126 according to the familiesH4940 thereof; and the familyH4940 which the LORDH3068 shall takeH3920 shall comeH7126 by householdsH1004; and the householdH1004 which the LORDH3068 shall takeH3920 shall comeH7126 manH1397 by manH1397.
And it shall be, that he that is takenH3920 with the accursed thingH2764 shall be burntH8313 with fireH784, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressedH5674 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and because he hath wroughtH6213 follyH5039 in IsraelH3478. {folly: or, wickedness}
So JoshuaH3091 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and broughtH7126 IsraelH3478 by their tribesH7626; and the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 was takenH3920:
And he broughtH7126 the familyH4940 of JudahH3063; and he tookH3920 the familyH4940 of the ZarhitesH2227: and he broughtH7126 the familyH4940 of the ZarhitesH2227 manH1397 by manH1397; and ZabdiH2067 was takenH3920:
And he broughtH7126 his householdH1004 manH1397 by manH1397; and AchanH5912, the sonH1121 of CarmiH3756, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, was takenH3920.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto AchanH5912, My sonH1121, giveH7760, I pray thee, gloryH3519 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and makeH5414 confessionH8426 unto him; and tellH5046 me now what thou hast doneH6213; hideH3582 it not from me.
And AchanH5912 answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091, and saidH559, IndeedH546 I have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and thus and thus have I doneH6213:
When I sawH7200 among the spoilsH7998 aH259 goodlyH2896 BabylonishH8152 garmentH155, and two hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, and aH259 wedgeH3956 of goldH2091 of fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 weightH4948, then I covetedH2530 them, and tookH3947 them; and, behold, they are hidH2934 in the earthH776 in the midstH8432 of my tentH168, and the silverH3701 under it. {wedge: Heb. tongue}
So JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 messengersH4397, and they ranH7323 unto the tentH168; and, behold, it was hidH2934 in his tentH168, and the silverH3701 under it.
And they tookH3947 them out of the midstH8432 of the tentH168, and broughtH935 them unto JoshuaH3091, and unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and laid them outH3332 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. {laid: Heb. poured}
And JoshuaH3091, and all IsraelH3478 with him, tookH3947 AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, and the silverH3701, and the garmentH155, and the wedgeH3956 of goldH2091, and his sonsH1121, and his daughtersH1323, and his oxenH7794, and his assesH2543, and his sheepH6629, and his tentH168, and all that he had: and they broughtH5927 them unto the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, WhyH4100 hast thou troubledH5916 us? the LORDH3068 shall troubleH5916 thee this dayH3117. And all IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 him with stonesH68, and burnedH8313 them with fireH784, after they had stonedH5619 them with stonesH68.
And they raisedH6965 over him a greatH1419 heapH1530 of stonesH68 unto this dayH3117. So the LORDH3068 turnedH7725 from the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639. Wherefore the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121, The valleyH6010 of AchorH5911, unto this dayH3117. {Achor: that is, Trouble}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, FearH3372 not, neither be thou dismayedH2865: takeH3947 all the peopleH5971 of warH4421 with thee, and ariseH6965, go upH5927 to AiH5857: seeH7200, I have givenH5414 into thy handH3027 the kingH4428 of AiH5857, and his peopleH5971, and his cityH5892, and his landH776:
And thou shalt doH6213 to AiH5857 and her kingH4428 as thou didstH6213 unto JerichoH3405 and her kingH4428: only the spoilH7998 thereof, and the cattleH929 thereof, shall ye take for a preyH962 unto yourselves: layH7760 thee an ambushH693 for the cityH5892 behindH310 it.
So JoshuaH3091 aroseH6965, and all the peopleH5971 of warH4421, to go upH5927 against AiH5857: and JoshuaH3091 chose outH977 thirtyH7970 thousandH505 mightyH1368 menH376 of valourH2428, and sent them awayH7971 by nightH3915.
And he commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, BeholdH7200, ye shall lie in waitH693 against the cityH5892, even behindH310 the cityH5892: goH7368 not veryH3966 farH7368 from the cityH5892, but be ye all readyH3559:
And I, and all the peopleH5971 that are with me, will approachH7126 unto the cityH5892: and it shall come to pass, when they come outH3318 againstH7125 us, as at the firstH7223, that we will fleeH5127 beforeH6440 them,
(For they will come outH3318 afterH310 us) till we have drawnH5423 them from the cityH5892; for they will sayH559, They fleeH5127 beforeH6440 us, as at the firstH7223: therefore we will fleeH5127 beforeH6440 them. {drawn: Heb. pulled}
Then ye shall rise upH6965 from the ambushH693, and seizeH3423 upon the cityH5892: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will deliverH5414 it into your handH3027.
And it shall be, when ye have takenH8610 the cityH5892, that ye shall setH3341 the cityH5892 on fireH784: according to the commandmentH1697 of the LORDH3068 shall ye doH6213. SeeH7200, I have commandedH6680 you.
JoshuaH3091 therefore sent them forthH7971: and they wentH3212 to lie in ambushH3993, and abodeH3427 between BethelH1008 and AiH5857, on the west sideH3220 of AiH5857: but JoshuaH3091 lodgedH3885 that nightH3915 amongH8432 the peopleH5971.
And JoshuaH3091 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and numberedH6485 the peopleH5971, and went upH5927, he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, beforeH6440 the peopleH5971 to AiH5857.
And all the peopleH5971, even the people of warH4421 that were with him, went upH5927, and drew nighH5066, and cameH935 before the cityH5892, and pitchedH2583 on the north sideH6828 of AiH5857: now there was a valleyH1516 between them and AiH5857.
And he tookH3947 about fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376, and setH7760 them to lie in ambushH693 between BethelH1008 and AiH5857, on the west sideH3220 of the cityH5857+H5892. {of…: or, of Ai}
And when they had setH7760 the peopleH5971, even all the hostH4264 that was on the northH6828 of the cityH5892, and their liers in waitH6119 on the westH3220 of the cityH5892, JoshuaH3091 wentH3212 that nightH3915 into the midstH8432 of the valleyH6010. {liers…: Heb. lying in wait}
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 of AiH5857 sawH7200 it, that they hastedH4116 and rose up earlyH7925, and the menH582 of the cityH5892 went outH3318 againstH7125 IsraelH3478 to battleH4421, he and all his peopleH5971, at a time appointedH4150, beforeH6440 the plainH6160; but he wistH3045 not that there were liers in ambushH693 against him behindH310 the cityH5892.
And JoshuaH3091 and all IsraelH3478 made as if they were beatenH5060 beforeH6440 them, and fledH5127 by the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057.
And all the peopleH5971 that were in AiH5857+H5892 were calledH2199 together to pursueH7291 afterH310 them: and they pursuedH7291 afterH310 JoshuaH3091, and were drawn awayH5423 from the cityH5892.
And there was not a manH376 leftH7604 in AiH5857 or BethelH1008, that went not outH3318 afterH310 IsraelH3478: and they leftH5800 the cityH5892 openH6605, and pursuedH7291 after IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Stretch outH5186 the spearH3591 that is in thy handH3027 toward AiH5857; for I will giveH5414 it into thine handH3027. And JoshuaH3091 stretched outH5186 the spearH3591 that he had in his handH3027 toward the cityH5892.
And the ambushH693 aroseH6965 quicklyH4120 out of their placeH4725, and they ranH7323 as soon as he had stretched outH5186 his handH3027: and they enteredH935 into the cityH5892, and tookH3920 it, and hastedH4116 and setH3341 the cityH5892 on fireH784.
And when the menH582 of AiH5857 lookedH6437 behindH310 them, they sawH7200, and, behold, the smokeH6227 of the cityH5892 ascended upH5927 to heavenH8064, and they had no powerH3027 to fleeH5127 this way or that wayH2008: and the peopleH5971 that fledH5127 to the wildernessH4057 turned backH2015 upon the pursuersH7291. {power: Heb. hand}
And when JoshuaH3091 and all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the ambushH693 had takenH3920 the cityH5892, and that the smokeH6227 of the cityH5892 ascendedH5927, then they turned againH7725, and slewH5221 the menH582 of AiH5857.
And the otherH428 issued outH3318 of the cityH5892 againstH7125 them; so they were in the midstH8432 of IsraelH3478, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smoteH5221 them, so thatH5704 they letH7604 none of them remainH8300 or escapeH6412.
And the kingH4428 of AiH5857 they tookH8610 aliveH2416, and broughtH7126 him to JoshuaH3091.
And it came to pass, when IsraelH3478 had made an endH3615 of slayingH2026 all the inhabitantsH3427 of AiH5857 in the fieldH7704, in the wildernessH4057 wherein they chasedH7291 them, and when they were all fallenH5307 on the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, until they were consumedH8552, that all the IsraelitesH3478 returnedH7725 unto AiH5857, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
And so it was, that all that fellH5307 that dayH3117, both of menH376 and womenH802, were twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505, even all the menH582 of AiH5857.
For JoshuaH3091 drewH7725 not his handH3027 backH7725, wherewith he stretched outH5186 the spearH3591, until he had utterly destroyedH2763 all the inhabitantsH3427 of AiH5857.
Only the cattleH929 and the spoilH7998 of that cityH5892 IsraelH3478 took for a preyH962 unto themselves, according unto the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which he commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091.
And JoshuaH3091 burntH8313 AiH5857, and madeH7760 it an heapH8510 for everH5769, even a desolationH8077 unto this dayH3117.
And the kingH4428 of AiH5857 he hangedH8518 on a treeH6086 until eventideH6256+H6153: and as soon as the sunH8121 was downH935, JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680 that they should takeH3381 his carcaseH5038 downH3381 from the treeH6086, and castH7993 it at the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892, and raiseH6965 thereon a greatH1419 heapH1530 of stonesH68, that remaineth unto this dayH3117.
Then JoshuaH3091 builtH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 in mountH2022 EbalH5858,
As MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, as it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, an altarH4196 of wholeH8003 stonesH68, over which no man hath lift upH5130 any ironH1270: and they offeredH5927 thereon burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068, and sacrificedH2076 peace offeringsH8002.
And he wroteH3789 there upon the stonesH68 a copyH4932 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, which he wroteH3789 in the presenceH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And all IsraelH3478, and their eldersH2205, and officersH7860, and their judgesH8199, stoodH5975 on this side the arkH727 and on that side before the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, which bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, as well the strangerH1616, as he that was bornH249 among them; halfH2677 of them overH413 againstH4136 mountH2022 GerizimH1630, and halfH2677 of them over againstH4136 mountH2022 EbalH5858; as MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 beforeH7223, that they should blessH1288 the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478.
And afterwardH310 he readH7121 all the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451, the blessingsH1293 and cursingsH7045, according to all that is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451.
There was not a wordH1697 of all that MosesH4872 commandedH6680, which JoshuaH3091 readH7121 not before all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, with the womenH802, and the little onesH2945, and the strangersH1616 that were conversantH1980 amongH7130 them. {were…: Heb. walked}
And it came to pass, when all the kingsH4428 which were on this sideH5676 JordanH3383, in the hillsH2022, and in the valleysH8219, and in all the coastsH2348 of the greatH1419 seaH3220 over againstH4136 LebanonH3844, the HittiteH2850, and the AmoriteH567, the CanaaniteH3669, the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983, heardH8085 thereof;
That they gatheredH6908 themselves togetherH3162, to fightH3898 with JoshuaH3091 and with IsraelH3478, with oneH259 accordH6310. {accord: Heb. mouth}
And when the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391 heardH8085 what JoshuaH3091 had doneH6213 unto JerichoH3405 and to AiH5857,
They did workH6213 wililyH6195, and wentH3212 and made as if they had been ambassadorsH6737, and tookH3947 oldH1087 sacksH8242 upon their assesH2543, and wineH3196 bottlesH4997, oldH1087, and rentH1234, and bound upH6887;
And oldH1087 shoesH5275 and cloutedH2921 upon their feetH7272, and oldH1087 garmentsH8008 upon them; and all the breadH3899 of their provisionH6718 was dryH3001 and mouldyH5350.
And they wentH3212 to JoshuaH3091 unto the campH4264 at GilgalH1537, and saidH559 unto him, and to the menH376 of IsraelH3478, We be comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776: now therefore makeH3772 ye a leagueH1285 with us.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto the HivitesH2340, PeradventureH194 ye dwellH3427 amongH7130 us; and how shall we makeH3772 a leagueH1285 with you?
And they saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, We are thy servantsH5650. And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, Who are ye? and from whenceH370 comeH935 ye?
And they saidH559 unto him, From a veryH3966 farH7350 countryH776 thy servantsH5650 are comeH935 because of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: for we have heardH8085 the fameH8089 of him, and all that he didH6213 in EgyptH4714,
And all that he didH6213 to the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, that were beyondH5676 JordanH3383, to SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and to OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, which was at AshtarothH6252.
Wherefore our eldersH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of our countryH776 spakeH559 to us, sayingH559, TakeH3947 victualsH6720 with youH3027 for the journeyH1870, and goH3212 to meetH7125 them, and sayH559 unto them, We are your servantsH5650: therefore now makeH3772 ye a leagueH1285 with us. {with you: Heb. in your hand}
This our breadH3899 we took hotH2525 for our provisionH6679 out of our housesH1004 on the dayH3117 we came forthH3318 to goH3212 unto you; but now, behold, it is dryH3001, and it is mouldyH5350:
And these bottlesH4997 of wineH3196, which we filledH4390, were newH2319; and, behold, they be rentH1234: and these our garmentsH8008 and our shoesH5275 are become oldH1086 by reason of the veryH3966 longH7230 journeyH1870.
And the menH582 tookH3947 of their victualsH6718, and askedH7592 not counsel at the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068. {the men…: or, they received the men by reason of their victuals}
And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 peaceH7965 with them, and madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them, to let them liveH2421: and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 swareH7650 unto them.
And it came to pass at the endH7097 of threeH7969 daysH3117 afterH310 they had madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them, that they heardH8085 that they were their neighboursH7138, and that they dweltH3427 amongH7130 them.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265, and cameH935 unto their citiesH5892 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117. Now their citiesH5892 were GibeonH1391, and ChephirahH3716, and BeerothH881, and KirjathjearimH7157.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 them not, because the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 had swornH7650 unto them by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. And all the congregationH5712 murmuredH3885 against the princesH5387.
But all the princesH5387 saidH559 unto all the congregationH5712, We have swornH7650 unto them by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478: now therefore we mayH3201 not touchH5060 them.
This we will doH6213 to them; we will even let them liveH2421, lest wrathH7110 be upon us, because of the oathH7621 which we swareH7650 unto them.
And the princesH5387 saidH559 unto them, Let them liveH2421; but let them be hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 unto all the congregationH5712; as the princesH5387 had promisedH1696 them.
And JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for them, and he spakeH1696 unto them, sayingH559, Wherefore have ye beguiledH7411 us, sayingH559, We are veryH3966 farH7350 from you; when ye dwellH3427 amongH7130 us?
Now therefore ye are cursedH779, and there shall none of you be freedH3772 from being bondmenH5650, and hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430. {none…: Heb. not be cut off from you}
And they answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091, and saidH559, Because it was certainlyH5046 toldH5046 thy servantsH5650, how that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 commandedH6680 his servantH5650 MosesH4872 to giveH5414 you all the landH776, and to destroyH8045 all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 from beforeH6440 you, therefore we were soreH3966 afraidH3372 of our livesH5315 becauseH6440 of you, and have doneH6213 this thingH1697.
And now, behold, weH2009 are in thine handH3027: as it seemethH5869 goodH2896 and rightH3477 unto thee to doH6213 unto us, doH6213.
And so didH6213 he unto them, and deliveredH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they slewH2026 them not.
And JoshuaH3091 madeH5414 them that dayH3117 hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 for the congregationH5712, and for the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, even unto this dayH3117, in the placeH4725 which he should chooseH977. {made: Heb. gave, or, delivered to be}
Now it came to pass, when AdonizedekH139 kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389 had heardH8085 howH3588 JoshuaH3091 had takenH3920 AiH5857, and had utterly destroyedH2763 it; as he had doneH6213 to JerichoH3405 and her kingH4428, so he had doneH6213 to AiH5857 and her kingH4428; and how the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391 had made peaceH7999 with IsraelH3478, and were amongH7130 them;
That they fearedH3372 greatlyH3966, because GibeonH1391 was a greatH1419 cityH5892, as oneH259 of the royalH4467 citiesH5892, and because it was greaterH1419 than AiH5857, and all the menH582 thereof were mightyH1368. {royal…: Heb. cities of the kingdom}
Wherefore AdonizedekH139 kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389 sentH7971 unto HohamH1944 kingH4428 of HebronH2275, and unto PiramH6502 kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, and unto JaphiaH3309 kingH4428 of LachishH3923, and unto DebirH1688 kingH4428 of EglonH5700, sayingH559,
Come upH5927 unto me, and helpH5826 me, that we may smiteH5221 GibeonH1391: for it hath made peaceH7999 with JoshuaH3091 and with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Therefore the fiveH2568 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, the kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389, the kingH4428 of HebronH2275, the kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, the kingH4428 of LachishH3923, the kingH4428 of EglonH5700, gathered themselves togetherH622, and went upH5927, they and all their hostsH4264, and encampedH2583 before GibeonH1391, and made warH3898 against it.
And the menH582 of GibeonH1391 sentH7971 unto JoshuaH3091 to the campH4264 to GilgalH1537, sayingH559, SlackH7503 not thy handH3027 from thy servantsH5650; come upH5927 to us quicklyH4120, and saveH3467 us, and helpH5826 us: for all the kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567 that dwellH3427 in the mountainsH2022 are gathered togetherH6908 against us.
So JoshuaH3091 ascendedH5927 from GilgalH1537, he, and all the peopleH5971 of warH4421 with him, and all the mightyH1368 men of valourH2428.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, FearH3372 them not: for I have deliveredH5414 them into thine handH3027; there shall not a manH376 of them standH5975 beforeH6440 thee.
JoshuaH3091 therefore cameH935 unto them suddenlyH6597, and went upH5927 from GilgalH1537 all nightH3915.
And the LORDH3068 discomfitedH2000 them beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and slewH5221 them with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347 at GibeonH1391, and chasedH7291 them along the wayH1870 that goeth upH4608 to BethhoronH1032, and smoteH5221 them to AzekahH5825, and unto MakkedahH4719.
And it came to pass, as they fledH5127 from beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and were in the going downH4174 to BethhoronH1032, that the LORDH3068 cast downH7993 greatH1419 stonesH68 from heavenH8064 upon them unto AzekahH5825, and they diedH4191: they were moreH7227 which diedH4191 with hailstonesH1259+H68 than they whomH834 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 slewH2026 with the swordH2719.
Then spakeH1696 JoshuaH3091 to the LORDH3068 in the dayH3117 when the LORDH3068 delivered upH5414 the AmoritesH567 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and he saidH559 in the sightH5869 of IsraelH3478, SunH8121, stand thou stillH1826 upon GibeonH1391; and thou, MoonH3394, in the valleyH6010 of AjalonH357. {stand…: Heb. be silent}
And the sunH8121 stood stillH1826, and the moonH3394 stayedH5975, until the peopleH1471 had avengedH5358 themselves upon their enemiesH341. Is not thisH1931 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of JasherH3477? So the sunH8121 stood stillH5975 in the midstH2677 of heavenH8064, and hastedH213 not to go downH935 about a wholeH8549 dayH3117. {Jasher: or, the upright?}
And there was no dayH3117 like that beforeH6440 it or afterH310 it, that the LORDH3068 hearkenedH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of a manH376: for the LORDH3068 foughtH3898 for IsraelH3478.
And JoshuaH3091 returnedH7725, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto the campH4264 to GilgalH1537.
But these fiveH2568 kingsH4428 fledH5127, and hidH2244 themselves in a caveH4631 at MakkedahH4719.
And it was toldH5046 JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, The fiveH2568 kingsH4428 are foundH4672 hidH2244 in a caveH4631 at MakkedahH4719.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, RollH1556 greatH1419 stonesH68 upon the mouthH6310 of the caveH4631, and setH6485 menH582 by it for to keepH8104 them:
And stayH5975 ye not, but pursueH7291 afterH310 your enemiesH341, and smite the hindmostH2179 of them; sufferH5414 them not to enterH935 into their citiesH5892: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 them into your handH3027. {smite…: Heb. cut off the tail}
And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had made an endH3615 of slayingH5221 them with a veryH3966 greatH1419 slaughterH4347, till they were consumedH8552, that the restH8300 which remainedH8277 of them enteredH935 into fencedH4013 citiesH5892.
And all the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 to the campH4264 to JoshuaH3091 at MakkedahH4719 in peaceH7965: none movedH2782 his tongueH3956 against anyH376 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Then saidH559 JoshuaH3091, OpenH6605 the mouthH6310 of the caveH4631, and bring outH3318 those fiveH2568 kingsH4428 unto me out of the caveH4631.
And they didH6213 so, and brought forthH3318 those fiveH2568 kingsH4428 unto him out of the caveH4631, the kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389, the kingH4428 of HebronH2275, the kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, the kingH4428 of LachishH3923, and the kingH4428 of EglonH5700.
And it came to pass, when they brought outH3318 those kingsH4428 unto JoshuaH3091, that JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto the captainsH7101 of the menH582 of warH4421 which wentH1980 with him, Come nearH7126, putH7760 your feetH7272 upon the necksH6677 of these kingsH4428. And they came nearH7126, and putH7760 their feetH7272 upon the necksH6677 of them.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, FearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865, be strongH2388 and of good courageH553: for thus shall the LORDH3068 doH6213 to all your enemiesH341 against whom ye fightH3898.
And afterwardH310 JoshuaH3091 smoteH5221 them, and slewH4191 them, and hangedH8518 them on fiveH2568 treesH6086: and they were hangingH8518 upon the treesH6086 until the eveningH6153.
And it came to pass at the timeH6256 of the going downH935 of the sunH8121, that JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680, and they took them downH3381 off the treesH6086, and castH7993 them into the caveH4631 wherein they had been hidH2244, and laidH7760 greatH1419 stonesH68 in the cave'sH4631 mouthH6310, which remain until this veryH6106 dayH3117.
And that dayH3117 JoshuaH3091 tookH3920 MakkedahH4719, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and the kingH4428 thereof he utterly destroyedH2763, them, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he letH7604 none remainH8300: and he didH6213 to the kingH4428 of MakkedahH4719 as he didH6213 unto the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.
Then JoshuaH3091 passedH5674 from MakkedahH4719, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto LibnahH3841, and foughtH3898 against LibnahH3841:
And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 it also, and the kingH4428 thereof, into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478; and he smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he letH7604 none remainH8300 in it; but didH6213 unto the kingH4428 thereof as he didH6213 unto the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.
And JoshuaH3091 passedH5674 from LibnahH3841, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto LachishH3923, and encampedH2583 against it, and foughtH3898 against it:
And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 LachishH3923 into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478, which tookH3920 it on the secondH8145 dayH3117, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein, according to all that he had doneH6213 to LibnahH3841.
Then HoramH2036 kingH4428 of GezerH1507 came upH5927 to helpH5826 LachishH3923; and JoshuaH3091 smoteH5221 him and his peopleH5971, until he had leftH7604 him none remainingH8300.
And from LachishH3923 JoshuaH3091 passedH5674 unto EglonH5700, and all IsraelH3478 with him; and they encampedH2583 against it, and foughtH3898 against it:
And they tookH3920 it on that dayH3117, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein he utterly destroyedH2763 that dayH3117, according to all that he had doneH6213 to LachishH3923.
And JoshuaH3091 went upH5927 from EglonH5700, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto HebronH2275; and they foughtH3898 against it:
And they tookH3920 it, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and the kingH4428 thereof, and all the citiesH5892 thereof, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he leftH7604 none remainingH8300, according to all that he had doneH6213 to EglonH5700; but destroyedH2763 it utterly, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein.
And JoshuaH3091 returnedH7725, and all IsraelH3478 with him, to DebirH1688; and foughtH3898 against it:
And he tookH3920 it, and the kingH4428 thereof, and all the citiesH5892 thereof; and they smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and utterly destroyedH2763 all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he leftH7604 none remainingH8300: as he had doneH6213 to HebronH2275, so he didH6213 to DebirH1688, and to the kingH4428 thereof; as he had doneH6213 also to LibnahH3841, and to her kingH4428.
So JoshuaH3091 smoteH5221 all the countryH776 of the hillsH2022, and of the southH5045, and of the valeH8219, and of the springsH794, and all their kingsH4428: he leftH7604 none remainingH8300, but utterly destroyedH2763 all that breathedH5397, as the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 commandedH6680.
And JoshuaH3091 smoteH5221 them from KadeshbarneaH6947 even unto GazaH5804, and all the countryH776 of GoshenH1657, even unto GibeonH1391.
And all these kingsH4428 and their landH776 did JoshuaH3091 takeH3920 at oneH259 timeH6471, because the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 foughtH3898 for IsraelH3478.
And JoshuaH3091 returnedH7725, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto the campH4264 to GilgalH1537.
But they knowH3045 not the thoughtsH4284 of the LORDH3068, neither understandH995 they his counselH6098: for he shall gatherH6908 them as the sheavesH5995 into the floorH1637.
ForG1063 GodG2316 hath putG1325 inG1519 theirG846 heartsG2588 to fulfilG4160 hisG846 willG1106, andG2532 to agreeG4160+G3391+G1106, andG2532 giveG1325 theirG846 kingdomG932 unto the beastG2342, untilG891 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316 shall be fulfilledG5055.
And it came to pass in the daysH3117 of AmraphelH569 kingH4428 of ShinarH8152, AriochH746 kingH4428 of EllasarH495, ChedorlaomerH3540 kingH4428 of ElamH5867, and TidalH8413 kingH4428 of nationsH1471;
That these madeH6213 warH4421 withH854 BeraH1298 kingH4428 of SodomH5467, and with BirshaH1306 kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, ShinabH8134 kingH4428 of AdmahH126, and ShemeberH8038 kingH4428 of ZeboiimH6636, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106, which isH1931 ZoarH6820.
All these were joined togetherH2266 in the valeH6010 of SiddimH7708, whichH1931 is the saltH4417 seaH3220.
TwelveH6240+H8147 yearsH8141 they servedH5647+H853 ChedorlaomerH3540, and in the thirteenthH7969+H6240 yearH8141 they rebelledH4775.
And in the fourteenthH6240+H702 yearH8141 cameH935 ChedorlaomerH3540, and the kingsH4428 that were with him, and smoteH5221 the RephaimsH7497 in Ashteroth KarnaimH6255, and the ZuzimsH2104 in HamH1990, and the EmimsH368 in Shaveh KiriathaimH7741, {Shaveh…: or, The plain of Kiriathaim}
And the HoritesH2752 in their mountH2042 SeirH8165, unto ElparanH364, which is byH5921 the wildernessH4057. {Elparan: or, The plain of Paran}
And they returnedH7725, and cameH935 toH413 EnmishpatH5880, which is KadeshH6946, and smoteH5221 all the countryH7704 of the AmalekitesH6003, and also the AmoritesH567, that dweltH3427 in HazezontamarH2688.
And there went outH3318 the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, and the kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, and the kingH4428 of AdmahH126, and the kingH4428 of ZeboiimH6636, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106 (the sameH1931 is ZoarH6820;) and they joinedH6186 battleH4421 with them in the valeH6010 of SiddimH7708;
With ChedorlaomerH3540 the kingH4428 of ElamH5867, and with TidalH8413 kingH4428 of nationsH1471, and AmraphelH569 kingH4428 of ShinarH8152, and AriochH746 kingH4428 of EllasarH495; fourH702 kingsH4428 with fiveH2568.
And the valeH6010 of SiddimH7708 was full ofH875 slimepitsH875+H2564; and the kingsH4428 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 fledH5127, and fellH5307 there; and they that remainedH7604 fledH5127 to the mountainH2022.
And they tookH3947 all the goodsH7399 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and all their victualsH400, and went their wayH3212.
And they tookH3947 LotH3876, Abram'sH87 brother'sH251 sonH1121, who dweltH3427 in SodomH5467, and his goodsH7399, and departedH3212.
And there cameH935 one that had escapedH6412, and toldH5046 AbramH87 the HebrewH5680; for he dweltH7931 in the plainH436 of MamreH4471 the AmoriteH567, brotherH251 of EshcolH812, and brotherH251 of AnerH6063: and these were confederateH1167+H1285 with AbramH87.
And when AbramH87 heardH8085 that his brotherH251 was taken captiveH7617, he armedH7324 his trainedH2593 servants, bornH3211 in his own houseH1004, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and eighteenH6240+H8083, and pursuedH7291 them unto DanH1835. {armed: or, led forth} {trained: or, instructed}
And he dividedH2505 himself against them, he and his servantsH5650, by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 them, and pursuedH7291 them unto HobahH2327, which is on the left handH8040 of DamascusH1834.
And he brought backH7725 all the goodsH7399, and also brought againH7725 his brotherH251 LotH3876, and his goodsH7399, and the womenH802 also, and the peopleH5971.
And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 went outH3318 to meetH7125 him afterH310 his returnH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of ChedorlaomerH3540, and of the kingsH4428 that were with him, at the valleyH6010 of ShavehH7740, whichH1931 is the king'sH4428 daleH6010.
And MelchizedekH4442 kingH4428 of SalemH8004 brought forthH3318 breadH3899 and wineH3196: and he was the priestH3548 of the most highH5945 GodH410.
And he blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be AbramH87 of the most highH5945 GodH410, possessorH7069 of heavenH8064 and earthH776:
And blessedH1288 be the most highH5945 GodH410, which hath deliveredH4042 thine enemiesH6862 into thy handH3027. And he gaveH5414 him tithesH4643 of all.
And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 saidH559 unto AbramH87, GiveH5414 me the personsH5315, and takeH3947 the goodsH7399 to thyself. {persons: Heb. souls}
And AbramH87 saidH559 to the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, I have lift upH7311 mine handH3027 unto the LORDH3068, the most highH5945 GodH410, the possessorH7069 of heavenH8064 and earthH776,
That I will notH518 take from a threadH2339 even to a shoelatchetH5275+H8288, and that I will notH518 takeH3947 any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest sayH559, I have madeH6238 AbramH87 richH6238:
SaveH1107 only that whichH834 the young menH5288 have eatenH398, and the portionH2506 of the menH582 which wentH1980 withH854 me, AnerH6063, EshcolH812, and MamreH4471; let themH1992 takeH3947 their portionH2506.
And MelchizedekH4442 kingH4428 of SalemH8004 brought forthH3318 breadH3899 and wineH3196: and he was the priestH3548 of the most highH5945 GodH410.
