Joshua 10 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Now it happened ^H1961 that when Adoni-zedek ^H139 king ^H4428 of Jerusalem ^H3389 heard ^H8085 that Joshua ^H3091 had captured ^H3920 Ai ^H5857 and had devoted ^H2763 it to destruction ^H2763 (just ^H834 as he had done ^H6213 to Jericho ^H3405 and its king ^H4428, so ^H3651 he had done ^H6213 to Ai ^H5857 and its king ^H4428), and that the inhabitants ^H3427 of Gibeon ^H1391 had made ^H7999 peace ^H7999 with Israel ^H3478 and were [fn]within ^H7130 their land ^H7130,

Then the men ^H376 of Gibeon ^H1391 sent ^H7971 word to Joshua ^H3091 to the camp ^H4264 at Gilgal ^H1537, saying ^H559, “Do not [fn]abandon ^{H7503 H3027 H4480} your slaves ^H5650; come ^H5927 up ^H5927 to us quickly ^H4120 and save ^H3467 us and help ^H5826 us, for all ^H3605 the kings ^H4428 of the Amorites ^H567 that live ^H3427 in the hill ^H2022 country ^H2022 have assembled ^H6908 against ^H413 us.”

Then ^H227 Joshua ^H3091 spoke ^H1696 to Yahweh ^H3068 in the day ^H3117 when Yahweh ^H3068 gave ^H5414 over the Amorites ^H567 before ^H6440 the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478, and he said ^H559 in the sight ^H5869 of Israel ^H3478,

“O sun ^H8121, stand ^H1826 still ^H1826 at Gibeon ^H1391,

And O moon ^H3394 in the valley ^H6010 of Aijalon ^H357.”

So the sun ^H8121 stood ^H1826 still ^H1826, and the moon ^H3394 stopped ^H5975,

Until ^H5704 the nation ^H1471 avenged ^H5358 themselves of their enemies ^H340.

Is it not written ^H3789 in the book ^H5612 of Jashar ^H3477? And the sun ^H8121 stood ^H5975 in the middle ^H2677 of the sky ^H8064 and did not hasten ^H213 to go ^H935 down for about ^H935 a whole ^H8549 day ^H3117.

Then Joshua ^H3091 and all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478 with him returned ^H7725 to the camp ^H4264 to Gilgal ^H1537.

And these ^H428 five ^H2568 kings ^H4428 fled ^H5127 and hid ^H2244 themselves in the cave ^H4631 at Makkedah ^H4719.

Then Joshua ^H3091 said ^H559, “Open ^H6605 the mouth ^H6310 of the cave ^H4631 and bring ^H3318 these ^H428 five ^H2568 kings ^H4428 out ^H3318 to me from the cave ^H4631.”

Now Joshua ^H3091 captured ^H3920 Makkedah ^H4719 on that day ^H3117 and struck ^H5221 it and its king ^H4428 with the edge ^H6310 of the sword ^H2719; he [fn]devoted ^H2763 [fn]it to destruction ^H2763 and every ^H3605 [fn]person ^H5315 who ^H834 was in it. He left ^H7604 no ^H3808 survivor ^H8300. Thus he did ^H6213 to the king ^H4428 of Makkedah ^H4719 just ^H834 as he had done ^H6213 to the king ^H4428 of Jericho ^H3405.

Then Joshua ^H3091 and all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478 with him passed ^H5674 on from Makkedah ^H4719 to Libnah ^H3841 and fought ^H3898 against ^H5973 Libnah ^H3841.

And Joshua ^H3091 and all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478 with him passed ^H5674 on from Libnah ^H3841 to Lachish ^H3923, and they camped ^H2583 by it and fought ^H3898 against it.

Then ^H227 Horam ^H2036 king ^H4428 of Gezer ^H1507 came ^H5927 up ^H5927 to help ^H5826 Lachish ^H3923, and Joshua ^H3091 struck ^H5221 him and his people ^H5971 down ^H5221 until ^H5704 [fn]there was no ^H1115 survivor ^H8300 remaining ^H7604 for him.

And Joshua ^H3091 and all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478 with him passed ^H5674 on from Lachish ^H3923 to Eglon ^H5700, and they camped ^H2583 by it and fought ^H3898 against ^H5921 it.

Then Joshua ^H3091 and all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478 with him went ^H5927 up ^H5927 from Eglon ^H5700 to Hebron ^H2275, and they fought ^H3898 against ^H5921 it.

Then Joshua ^H3091 and all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478 with him returned ^H7725 to Debir ^H1688, and they fought ^H3898 against ^H5921 it.

Thus Joshua ^H3091 struck ^H5221 all ^H3605 the land ^H776—the hill ^H2022 country ^H2022 and the [fn]Negev ^H5045 and the [fn]Shephelah ^H8219 and the slopes ^H794—as well as all ^H3605 their kings ^H4428. He left ^H7604 no ^H3808 survivor ^H8300 remaining ^H7604, but he devoted ^H2763 to destruction ^H2763 all ^H3605 who ^H5397 breathed ^H5397, just ^H834 as Yahweh ^H3068, the God ^H430 of Israel ^H3478, had commanded ^H6680.
