Bible verse
And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
Joshua 10:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from Joshua 10.
13 So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”
14 There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man, because the LORD fought for Israel.
15 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
16 Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
17 And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
18 So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.
19 But you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”
20 So Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.
21 The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
