Joshua 10:1-5

1NowH1961 it cameH1961 to passH1961, when Adoni-zedekH139 kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 howH834 JoshuaH3091 had takenH3920 AiH5857, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had doneH6213 to JerichoH3405 and herH1961 kingH4428, soH3651 he had doneH6213 to AiH5857 and herH1961 kingH4428; and howH834 the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391 had madeH6213 peace with IsraelH3478, and were among them;

2that they fearedH3372 greatlyH3966, becauseH3588 GibeonH1391 was a greatH1419 cityH5892, as one of the royalH4467 citiesH5892, and becauseH3588 it was greaterH1419 thanH4480 AiH5857, and allH3605 the menH376 thereof were mightyH1368.

3Wherefore Adoni-zedekH139 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,

4ComeH5927 upH5927 unto meH413, and helpH5826 meH413, and let usH413 smiteH5221 GibeonH1391: for it hath madeH5221 peace with JoshuaH3091 and with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

5Therefore 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, gatheredH622 themselvesH622 togetherH622, and wentH5927 upH5927, they and allH3605 their hosts, and encampedH2583 againstH5921 GibeonH1391, and madeH3605 war againstH5921 it.
