Joshua 10:1-4

1Now it cameH1961 about when Adoni-zedekH139 kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 that JoshuaH3091 had capturedH3920 AiH5857, and had 1utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 it (justH3512 2as he had doneH6213 to JerichoH3405 and its kingH4428, soH3651 he had doneH6213 to AiH5857 and its kingH4428), and that the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391 had 3madeH7999 peaceH7999 with IsraelH3478 and were 4withinH7130 their landH7130,

2that 5he 6fearedH3372 greatlyH3966, becauseH3588 GibeonH1391 was a greatH1419 cityH5892, like oneH259 of the royalH4467 citiesH5892, and becauseH3588 it was greaterH1419 thanH4480 AiH5857, and allH3605 its menH376 were mightyH1368.

3Therefore Adoni-zedekH139 kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389 sentH7971 word 7to HohamH1944 kingH4428 of HebronH2275 and to PiramH6502 kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412 and to JaphiaH3309 kingH4428 of LachishH3923 and to DebirH1688 kingH4428 of EglonH5700, sayingH559,

4“ComeH5927 up to me and helpH5826 me, and let us 8attackH5221 GibeonH1391, for it has 9madeH7999 peaceH7999 with JoshuaH3091 and with the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.”
