Joshua 10:24-28

24

When they had broughtH3318 theH428 kingsH4428 toH413 JoshuaH3091, he summonedH7121 allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559H413 toH413 the armyH582H4421 commandersH7101 who had accompaniedH1980 himH854, “ComeH7126 here and putH7760 your feetH7272 onH5921 the necksH6677 of theseH428 kingsH4428.”

So the commanders came forwardH7126 and putH7760 their feetH7272 onH5921 their necksH6677.

25“Do notH408 be afraidH3372H408 or discouragedH2865,” JoshuaH3091 saidH559. “Be strongH2388 and courageousH553, forH3588 the LORDH3068 will doH6213 thisH3602 to allH3605 the enemiesH341 youH859 fightH3898.”

26AfterH310 thisH3651, JoshuaH3091 struck downH5221 and killedH4191 the kings, and he hungH8518 their bodies onH5921 fiveH2568 treesH60861 and left themH1961H8518 thereH5921H6086 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 27At sunsetH935H8121 JoshuaH3091 orderedH6680 that they be taken downH3381 fromH5921 the treesH6086 and thrownH7993 intoH413 the caveH4631 in whichH834 they had hiddenH2244H8033. Then largeH1419 stonesH68 were placedH7760 againstH5921 the mouthH6310 of the caveH4631, and the stonesH5704H6106 are there to thisH2088 dayH3117.

28

On thatH1931 dayH3117 JoshuaH3091 capturedH3920 MakkedahH4719 and put itH5221H6310 to the swordH2719, along withH853 its kingH4428. He devoted to destructionH2763 everyoneH853H3605H5315 in the city, leavingH7604 noH3808 survivorsH8300. So he didH6213 to the kingH4428 of MakkedahH4719 asH834 he had doneH6213 to the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.
