Josue 10
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Nalupig ang mga Amoreo
10 Nabalitaan ni Adonizedec, hari ng Jerusalem, na sinakop at tinupok ni Josue ang lunsod ng Ai. Nabalitaan din niya ang ginawa ni Josue sa hari at mga mamamayan ng Ai, at ang ginawa niya sa hari ng Jerico at sa mga tagaroon. Nalaman din niya na ang mga taga-Gibeon ay nakipagkasundo at naninirahang kasama ng mga Israelita. 2 Labis itong ikinabahala ng mga taga-Jerusalem, sapagkat ang Gibeon ay kasinlaki ng mga lunsod na may sariling hari, higit na malaki kaysa Ai, at magigiting ang mga mandirigma nito. 3 Kaya nagpadala ng mensahe si Adonizedec kay Hoham, hari ng Hebron; kay Piream, hari ng Jarmut; kay Jafia, hari ng Laquis; at kay Debir, hari ng Eglon. 4 Ganito ang kanyang ipinasabi: “Kailangan namin ang inyong tulong. Kailangang salakayin natin ang Gibeon sapagkat ang mga tagaroon ay nakipagkasundo kay Josue at sa mga Israelita.” 5 Nagkaisa nga ang limang haring Amoreo; ang mga hari ng Jerusalem, ng Hebron, ng Jarmut, ng Laquis at ng Eglon, at pinaligiran nila at sinalakay ang Gibeon.
Tinulungan ni Josue ang mga Taga-Gilgal
6 Nagpasabi naman kay Josue sa kampo ng Gilgal ang mga taga-Gibeon, “Huwag po ninyong pabayaan itong inyong mga abang alipin! Pumarito po kayong madali upang kami'y saklolohan. Iligtas ninyo kami! Pinagtutulung-tulungan po kami ng lahat ng mga haring Amoreong naninirahan sa kaburulan.”
7 Kaya nga't dumating si Josue buhat sa Gilgal, kasama ang kanyang buong hukbo pati ang magigiting niyang mandirigma. 8 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Huwag kang matakot sa kanila. Ibinigay ko na sila sa iyong mga kamay. Wala ni isa man sa kanilang makakatalo sa inyo.” 9 Magdamag na naglakbay si Josue at ang kanyang hukbo buhat sa Gilgal at bigla nilang sinalakay ang mga Amoreo. 10 Niloob ni Yahweh na magulo ang mga ito dahil sa takot nang makita ang hukbo ng Israel. Nilipol sila ng mga Israelita sa Gibeon; hinabol sila sa paglusong ng Beth-horon hanggang sa Azeka at sa Makeda. 11 Samantalang tumatakas sila sa paghabol ng mga Israelita, pinaulanan sila ni Yahweh ng malalaking tipak ng yelo buhat sa langit; umabot ito hanggang sa Azeka at napakaraming namatay. Mas marami pa ang namatay sa pagbagsak ng yelo kaysa tabak ng mga Israelita.
Tumigil ang Araw at ang Buwan
12 Noong araw na ang mga Israelita'y pinagtagumpay ni Yahweh laban sa mga Amoreo, nakipag-usap si Josue kay Yahweh. Ito ang sinabi niya na naririnig ng buong bayan:
“Huminto ka, Araw, sa tapat ng Gibeon,
at ikaw rin, Buwan, sa Libis ng Ayalon.”
13 Tumigil(A) nga ang araw at hindi gumalaw ang buwan hanggang sa matalo ng mga Israelita ang kanilang mga kaaway. Hindi ba't nasusulat ito sa Aklat ni Jasher? Tumigil ang araw sa gitna ng langit at hindi lumubog sa buong maghapon. 14 Kailanma'y hindi pa nangyari at hindi na muling mangyayari na si Yahweh ay sumunod sa isang tao at nakipaglaban sa panig ng Israel.
Pinuksa ang mga Amoreo
15 Pagkatapos nito, si Josue at ang mga tauhan niya ay bumalik sa Gilgal.
16 Nakatakas ang limang hari at nagtago sa yungib ng Makeda. 17 Ngunit may nakaalam na doon sila nagtago, at ito'y ipinasabi kay Josue. 18 Kaya't iniutos ni Josue, “Takpan ninyo ng malalaking bato ang bunganga ng yungib at inyong pabantayan iyon. 19 Ngunit huwag kayong titigil doon. Habulin ninyo ang kaaway, unahan sila at harangin upang huwag makapasok sa kani-kanilang lunsod. Inilagay na sila ni Yahweh sa inyong kapangyarihan.” 20 At sila nga'y pinuksa ni Josue at ng kanyang mga kawal kahit may ilang nakatakbo at nakapasok sa mga napapaderang lunsod. 21 At bumalik na sa kampo sa Makeda ang lahat ng mga kawal ni Josue.
Buhat noon, wala nang nangahas magsalita laban sa mga Israelita.
22 Iniutos ni Josue sa kanyang mga tauhan, “Alisin ninyo ang nakatakip na bato sa bunganga ng yungib, ilabas ninyo ang limang haring iyon at iharap sa akin.” 23 Ganoon nga ang ginawa nila. Inilabas sa yungib ang mga hari ng Jerusalem, ng Hebron, ng Jarmut, ng Laquis at ng Eglon. 24 Nang nasa harapan na ni Josue ang limang hari, tinipon niya ang kanyang mga mandirigma at iniutos sa mga pinuno, “Halikayo! Tapakan ninyo sa leeg ang mga haring ito.” At ganoon nga ang ginawa nila. 25 Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa kanila, “Huwag kayong matatakot o panghihinaan ng loob. Ganito ang gagawin ni Yahweh sa lahat ng inyong mga kaaway.” 26 Ang limang hari ay ipinapatay ni Josue at maghapong ibinitin sa limang punongkahoy. 27 Nang palubog na ang araw, iniutos ni Josue na ibaba sila sa pagkakabitin at ipinatapon sa yungib na pinagtaguan nila. Ang bunganga ng yungib ay pinatakpan ng malalaking bato na naroroon pa magpahanggang ngayon.
Sinakop ni Josue ang Buong Bayan ng mga Amoreo
28 Nang araw ding iyon, nasakop ni Josue ang Makeda at pinatay ang hari roon. Nilipol din niya ang buong bayan at wala siyang itinirang buháy isa man. Ginawa niya sa hari ng Makeda ang ginawa niya sa hari ng Jerico.
29 Buhat sa Makeda, sinalakay naman ni Josue at ng mga Israelita ang Libna. 30 Ibinigay rin ni Yahweh sa kanilang kapangyarihan ang hari at ang lahat ng mamamayan doon. Pinatay nilang lahat ang mga tagaroon, at walang itinira isa man. Ginawa ni Josue sa hari ng Libna ang ginawa niya sa hari ng Jerico.
31 Pagkatapos nito, kinubkob naman at sinalakay ni Josue at ng mga Israelita ang Laquis. 32 Sa ikalawang araw ng labanan, muli silang pinagtagumpay ni Yahweh. Nilipol din nila ang lahat ng tagaroon tulad ng ginawa nila sa Libna. 33 Si Horam, na hari ng Gezer, ay sumaklolo sa mga taga-Laquis. Ngunit tinalo rin sila ni Josue at walang itinirang buháy sa kanyang mga tauhan.
34 Buhat sa Laquis, kinubkob at sinalakay ni Josue at ng mga Israelita ang Eglon. 35 Sa araw ring iyon, nasakop nila ang Eglon at pinatay ang lahat ng tagaroon, tulad ng ginawa nila sa Laquis.
36 Pagkatapos nito, si Josue at ang buong hukbo ng Israel ay umakyat sa mga bulubundukin at sinalakay nila ang Hebron. 37 Nasakop nila ang lunsod at pinatay ang lahat ng tagaroon, buhat sa hari hanggang sa kahuli-hulihang mamamayan. Gayundin ang ginawa nila sa mga karatig-bayan ng Hebron. Sinunog nila ang lunsod at walang iniwang buháy, gaya nang ginawa nila sa Eglon.
38 Hinarap naman ni Josue at ng buong hukbo ng Israel ang Debir. 39 Sinakop nila ang lunsod at ang mga karatig-bayan nito. Pinatay nila ang hari at nilipol ang lahat ng mamamayan. Ginawa rin nila sa Debir ang ginawa nila sa Hebron, sa Libna, at sa kanilang mga hari.
40 Sinakop nga ni Josue ang buong lupain: ang kaburulan sa silangan, ang mga nasa paanan ng mga bundok sa kanluran, pati ang mga lupain sa katimugan. Natalo nila ang mga hari sa mga lugar na ito at nilipol ang lahat ng naninirahan doon, at walang itinirang buháy ayon sa ipinag-utos ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel. 41 Sinakop ni Josue ang lahat ng lupain buhat sa Kades-barnea hanggang sa Gaza, pati ang nasasakupan ng Goshen hanggang sa Gibeon sa dakong hilaga. 42 Sinakop niya ang lahat ng mga lupain at mga kahariang ito sa loob lamang ng isang tuluy-tuloy na pananalakay sapagkat si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, ay kasama ng mga Israelita sa kanilang pakikipaglaban. 43 Pagkatapos, bumalik si Josue at ang buong hukbo ng Israel sa kampo ng Gilgal.
Josue 10

Josue 10
Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang Gabaon ay sinalakay ng limang kaharian.
10 Nangyari nga, nang mabalitaan ni Adoni-sedec na hari sa Jerusalem na kung paanong nasakop ni Josue ang Hari at nagibang lubos (na kung paanong kaniyang ginawa (A)sa Jerico at sa hari niyaon, gayon ang kaniyang ginawa sa (B)Hai at sa hari niyaon), at kung paanong nakipagpayapaan sa kanila ang mga (C)taga Gabaon, at nangasa gitna nila;
2 Ay (D)natakot silang mainam, sapagka't ang Gabaon ay malaking bayan na gaya ng isa sa mga bayan ng hari, at sapagka't lalong malaki kay sa Hai, at ang lahat na lalake roon ay mga makapangyarihan.
3 Kaya't si Adoni-sedec na hari sa Jerusalem ay nagsugo kay Oham na hari sa (E)Hebron, at kay Phiream na hari sa Jarmuth, at kay Japhia, na hari sa (F)Lachis, at kay Debir na hari sa Eglon na ipinasasabi,
4 Sampahin ninyo ako at inyong tulungan ako, at saktan natin ang Gabaon: sapagka't nakipagpayapaan kay Josue at sa mga anak ni Israel.
5 Kaya't ang limang hari ng mga Amorrheo, ang hari sa Jerusalem, ang hari sa Hebron, ang hari sa Jarmuth, ang hari sa Lachis, ang hari sa Eglon, ay nagpipisan at sumampa, sila at ang lahat nilang hukbo, at humantong laban sa Gabaon, at nakipagdigma laban doon.
6 At ang mga tao sa Gabaon ay nagsugo kay Josue (G)sa kampamento sa Gilgal, na sinasabi, Huwag mong papanlambutin ang iyong kamay sa iyong mga lingkod; sampahin mo kaming madali, at iligtas mo kami, at tulungan mo kami: sapagka't ang lahat ng mga hari ng mga Amorrheo na nangananahan sa lupaing maburol ay nagpipisan laban sa amin.
7 Sa gayo'y sumampa si Josue mula sa Gilgal, siya at ang buong bayang pangdigma na kasama niya, at ang lahat ng mga makapangyarihang lalake na matatapang.
8 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Josue, (H)Huwag mo silang katakutan: sapagka't aking ibinigay sila sa iyong mga kamay; (I)walang lalake roon sa kanila na tatayo sa harap mo.
9 Si Josue nga ay naparoong bigla sa kanila; siya'y sumampa mula sa Gilgal buong gabi.
10 At (J)nilito sila ng Panginoon sa harap ng Israel, at kaniyang pinatay sila ng malaking pagpatay sa Gabaon, at hinabol niya sila sa daan na sampahan sa (K)Beth-horon, at sinaktan niya sila hanggang sa (L)Azeca, at sa (M)Maceda.
11 At nangyari, na habang tumatakas sa harap ng Israel samantalang sila'y nasa babaan sa Beth-horon, na binagsakan sila ng (N)Panginoon sa Azeca ng mga malaking bato na mula sa langit, at sila'y namatay: sila'y higit na namatayan sa pamamagitan ng mga batong granizo kay sa pinatay ng mga anak ni Israel sa pamamagitan ng tabak.
12 Nang magkagayo'y nagsalita si Josue sa Panginoon nang araw na ibinigay ng Panginoon ang mga Amorrheo sa harap ng mga anak ni Israel; at kaniyang sinabi sa paningin ng Israel,
(O)Araw, tumigil ka sa Gabaon;
At ikaw, Buwan, sa libis ng
(P)Ajalon.
13 At ang araw ay tumigil, at ang
buwan ay huminto,
Hanggang sa ang bansa ay nakapanghiganti sa kaniyang mga kaaway.
(Q)Hindi ba ito nakasulat sa aklat ni Jasher? At ang araw ay tumigil sa gitna ng langit, at hindi nagmadaling lumubog sa isang buong araw.
14 At hindi nagkaroon ng araw na gaya niyaon bago nangyari yaon o pagkatapos niyaon, na ang Panginoon ay nakinig sa tinig ng tao: sapagka't ipinakipaglaban (R)ng Panginoon ang Israel.
15 At si Josue ay bumalik at ang buong Israel na kasama niya, sa kampamento sa Gilgal.
Ang limang hari ay natutop at pinatay.
16 At ang limang haring ito ay tumakas at nagsipagkubli sa yungib sa (S)Maceda.
17 At nasaysay kay Josue, na sinasabi, Ang limang hari ay nasumpungan, na nakatago sa yungib sa Maceda.
18 At sinabi ni Josue, Maggulong kayo ng mga malaking bato sa bunganga ng yungib, at maglagay kayo ng mga lalake roon upang magbantay sa kanila:
19 Nguni't huwag kayong magsitigil; inyong habulin ang inyong mga kaaway, at inyong sasaktan ang kahulihulihan sa kanila; huwag ninyong tiising pumasok, sa kanilang mga bayan: sapagka't ibinigay sila ng Panginoon ninyong Dios sa inyong kamay.
20 At nangyari, nang makatapos si Josue at ang mga anak ni Israel ng pagpatay ng malaking pagpatay sa kanila, (T)hanggang sa nangalipol at ang labi na natira sa kanila ay pumasok sa mga nakukutaang bayan,
21 Na ang buong bayan ay bumalik sa kampamento kay Josue sa Maceda na tiwasay: walang (U)maggalaw ng kaniyang dila laban sa kaninoman sa mga anak ni Israel.
22 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Josue, Inyong buksan ang bunganga ng yungib, at inyong ilabas sa akin ang limang haring iyan sa yungib.
23 At kanilang ginawang gayon, at inilabas ang limang haring yaon mula sa yungib, ang hari sa Jerusalem, ang hari sa Hebron, ang hari sa Jarmuth, ang hari sa Lachis, ang hari sa Eglon.
24 At nangyari, nang kanilang ilabas ang mga haring yaon kay Josue na ipinatawag ni Josue ang lahat na lalake sa Israel, at sinabi sa mga pinuno ng mga lalaking mangdidigma na sumama sa kaniya, Lumapit kayo, ilagay ninyo ang inyong mga paa sa mga leeg ng mga haring ito. At sila'y lumapit at inilagay ang kanilang mga paa sa mga leeg ng mga yaon.
25 At sinabi ni Josue sa kanila, (V)Huwag kayong matakot, ni manglupaypay; kayo'y magpakalakas at magpakatapang na maigi: (W)sapagka't ganito ang gagawin ng Panginoon sa lahat ninyong mga kaaway na inyong kinakalaban.
26 At pagkatapos ay sinaktan sila ni Josue, at ipinapatay sila, at ibinitin sila sa limang puno ng kahoy; at sila'y (X)nangabitin sa mga puno ng kahoy hanggang sa kinahapunan.
27 At nangyari sa paglubog ng araw, na si Josue ay nagutos at kanilang ibinaba sa mga punong kahoy, at kanilang inihagis sa yungib na kanilang pinagtaguan, at kanilang nilagyan ng mga (Y)malaking bato ang bunganga ng yungib hanggang sa araw na ito.
Ang iba pang tagumpay ni Josue.
28 At sinakop ni Josue ang Maceda nang araw na yaon, at sinugatan ng talim ng tabak, at ang hari niyaon; kaniyang lubos silang nilipol at ang lahat na tao na nandoon, wala siyang iniwang nalabi: at kaniyang ginawa sa hari sa Maceda ang (Z)gaya ng kaniyang ginawa sa hari ng Jerico.
29 At si Josue ay dumaan mula sa Maceda, at ang buong Israel na kasama niya, hanggang (AA)sa Libna, at lumaban sa Libna:
30 At ibinigay rin ng Panginoon, sangpu ng hari niyaon, sa kamay ng Israel; at kaniyang sinugatan ng talim ng tabak, at ang lahat na tao na nandoon; wala siyang iniwan doon; at kaniyang ginawa sa hari niyaon ang gaya ng kaniyang ginawa sa hari sa Jerico.
31 At dumaan si Josue mula sa Libna, at ang buong Israel na kasama niya, hanggang sa Lachis, at humantong laban doon, at lumaban doon.
32 At ibinigay ng Panginoon ang Lachis sa kamay ng Israel at kaniyang sinakop sa ikalawang araw, at sinugatan ng talim ng tabak, at ang lahat na tao na nandoon, ayon sa lahat na ginawa niya sa Libna.
33 Nang magkagayo'y sumampa si Horam na hari sa (AB)Gezer upang tulungan ang Lachis; at sinaktan ni Josue siya at ang kaniyang bayan, hanggang sa walang iniwan siya.
34 At dumaan si Josue mula sa Lachis, at ang buong Israel na kasama niya, hanggang sa Eglon; at sila'y humantong laban doon, at nakipaglaban doon;
35 At kanilang sinakop nang araw na yaon, at sinugatan ng talim ng tabak, at ang lahat na tao na nandoon ay kaniyang lubos na nilipol nang araw na yaon, ayon sa lahat niyang ginawa sa Lachis.
36 At sumampa si Josue mula sa Eglon, at ang buong Israel na kasama niya, hanggang sa Hebron; at sila'y nakipaglaban doon:
37 At kanilang sinakop, at sinugatan ng talim ng tabak, at ang hari niyaon, at ang lahat ng mga bayan niyaon, at ang lahat na tao na nandoon; wala siyang iniwang nalabi, ayon sa lahat niyang ginawa sa Eglon; kundi kaniyang lubos na nilipol, at ang lahat na tao na nandoon.
38 At si Josue at ang buong Israel na kasama niya ay bumalik sa (AC)Debir; at nakipaglaban doon:
39 At kaniyang sinakop at ang hari niyaon, at ang lahat ng mga bayan niyaon; at kanilang sinugatan ng talim ng tabak at lubos na nilipol ang lahat na tao na nandoon: wala siyang iniwang nalabi: kung paano ang kaniyang ginawa sa Hebron, ay gayon ang kaniyang ginawa sa Debir, at sa hari niyaon; gaya ng kaniyang ginawa sa Libna at sa hari niyaon.
40 Ganito sinaktan ni Josue ang buong lupain, ang lupaing maburol, at ang Timugan, at ang mababang lupain, at ang mga (AD)tagudtod, at ang lahat ng hari niyaon; wala siyang iniwang nalabi: kundi kaniyang lubos na nilipol ang lahat na humihinga, gaya ng iniutos ng (AE)Panginoon ng Dios ng Israel.
41 At sinaktan sila ni Josue mula sa (AF)Cades-barnea hanggang sa (AG)Gaza, at (AH)ang buong lupain ng Gosen, hanggang sa Gabaon.
42 At ang lahat ng mga haring ito at ang kanilang lupain ay sinakop ni Josue na paminsan, sapagka't ipinakipaglaban ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel.
43 At si Josue at ang buong Israel na kasama niya ay bumalik sa kampamento sa Gilgal.
Joshua 10
New International Version
Joshua 10
New International Version
The Sun Stands Still
10 Now Adoni-Zedek(A) king of Jerusalem(B) heard that Joshua had taken Ai(C) and totally destroyed[a](D) it, doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and that the people of Gibeon(E) had made a treaty of peace(F) with Israel and had become their allies. 2 He and his people were very much alarmed at this, because Gibeon was an important city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were good fighters. 3 So Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem appealed to Hoham king of Hebron,(G) Piram king of Jarmuth,(H) Japhia king of Lachish(I) and Debir(J) king of Eglon.(K) 4 “Come up and help me attack Gibeon,” he said, “because it has made peace(L) with Joshua and the Israelites.”
5 Then the five kings(M) of the Amorites(N)—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon—joined forces. They moved up with all their troops and took up positions against Gibeon and attacked it.
6 The Gibeonites then sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal:(O) “Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because all the Amorite kings from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
7 So Joshua marched up from Gilgal with his entire army,(P) including all the best fighting men. 8 The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid(Q) of them; I have given them into your hand.(R) Not one of them will be able to withstand you.”(S)
9 After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua took them by surprise. 10 The Lord threw them into confusion(T) before Israel,(U) so Joshua and the Israelites defeated them completely at Gibeon.(V) Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon(W) and cut them down all the way to Azekah(X) and Makkedah.(Y) 11 As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the Lord hurled large hailstones(Z) down on them,(AA) and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.
12 On the day the Lord gave the Amorites(AB) over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:
“Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.(AC)”
13 So the sun stood still,(AD)
and the moon stopped,
till the nation avenged itself on[b] its enemies,
as it is written in the Book of Jashar.(AE)
The sun stopped(AF) in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. 14 There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting(AG) for Israel!
15 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.(AH)
Five Amorite Kings Killed
16 Now the five kings had fled(AI) and hidden in the cave at Makkedah. 17 When Joshua was told that the five kings had been found hiding in the cave at Makkedah, 18 he said, “Roll large rocks up to the mouth of the cave, and post some men there to guard it. 19 But don’t stop; pursue your enemies! Attack them from the rear and don’t let them reach their cities, for the Lord your God has given them into your hand.”
20 So Joshua and the Israelites defeated them completely,(AJ) but a few survivors managed to reach their fortified cities.(AK) 21 The whole army then returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one uttered a word against the Israelites.
22 Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.” 23 So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon. 24 When they had brought these kings(AL) to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had come with him, “Come here and put your feet(AM) on the necks of these kings.” So they came forward and placed their feet(AN) on their necks.
25 Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be strong and courageous.(AO) This is what the Lord will do to all the enemies you are going to fight.” 26 Then Joshua put the kings to death and exposed their bodies on five poles, and they were left hanging on the poles until evening.
27 At sunset(AP) Joshua gave the order and they took them down from the poles and threw them into the cave where they had been hiding. At the mouth of the cave they placed large rocks, which are there to this day.(AQ)
Southern Cities Conquered
28 That day Joshua took Makkedah. He put the city and its king to the sword and totally destroyed everyone in it. He left no survivors.(AR) And he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.(AS)
29 Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah(AT) and attacked it. 30 The Lord also gave that city and its king into Israel’s hand. The city and everyone in it Joshua put to the sword. He left no survivors there. And he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
31 Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish;(AU) he took up positions against it and attacked it. 32 The Lord gave Lachish into Israel’s hands, and Joshua took it on the second day. The city and everyone in it he put to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah. 33 Meanwhile, Horam king of Gezer(AV) had come up to help Lachish, but Joshua defeated him and his army—until no survivors were left.
34 Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Lachish to Eglon;(AW) they took up positions against it and attacked it. 35 They captured it that same day and put it to the sword and totally destroyed everyone in it, just as they had done to Lachish.
36 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron(AX) and attacked it. 37 They took the city and put it to the sword, together with its king, its villages and everyone(AY) in it. They left no survivors. Just as at Eglon, they totally destroyed it and everyone in it.
38 Then Joshua and all Israel with him turned around and attacked Debir.(AZ) 39 They took the city, its king and its villages, and put them to the sword. Everyone in it they totally destroyed. They left no survivors. They did to Debir and its king as they had done to Libnah and its king and to Hebron.(BA)
40 So Joshua subdued the whole region, including the hill country, the Negev,(BB) the western foothills and the mountain slopes,(BC) together with all their kings.(BD) He left no survivors. He totally destroyed all who breathed, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded.(BE) 41 Joshua subdued them from Kadesh Barnea(BF) to Gaza(BG) and from the whole region of Goshen(BH) to Gibeon. 42 All these kings and their lands Joshua conquered in one campaign, because the Lord, the God of Israel, fought(BI) for Israel.
43 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.(BJ)

King James Version
Joshua 10
King James Version
10 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedec 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;
2 That 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.
3 Wherefore Adonizedec 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,
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.
5 Therefore 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.
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.
7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
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.
9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
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 Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, 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.
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.
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.
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.
15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
16 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:
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.
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.
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.
22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
23 And 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
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.
31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
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.
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.
34 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
35 And 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.
36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:
37 And 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.
38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
39 And 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.
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.
41 And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
42 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.
43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
