Chapter 10

1When King Adoni-zedek of Yerushalayim learned that Yehoshua had captured Ai and proscribed it, treating Ai and its king as he had treated Yericho and its king, and that, moreover, the people of Givon had come to terms with Yisrael and remained among them,

vai-HEE khish-MO-a a-do-nee TZE-dek ME-lekh y'-ru-sha-LA-yim kee la-KHAD y'-ho-SHU-a et ha-AI va-ya-kha-ree-MAH ka-a-SHER a-SAH lee-ree-KHO ul-mal-KAH kayn a-SAH la-AI ul-mal-KAH v'-KHEE hish-LEE-mu yo-sh'-VAY giv-ON et yis-ra-AYL va-yih-YU b'-kir-BAM

אוַיְהִי֩ כִשְׁמֹ֨עַ אֲדֹנִי־צֶ֜דֶק מֶ֣לֶךְ יְרוּשָׁלַ֗͏ִם כִּֽי־לָכַ֨ד יְהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ אֶת־הָעַי֮ וַיַּחֲרִימָהּ֒ כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֤ה לִֽירִיחוֹ֙ וּלְמַלְכָּ֔הּ כֵּן־עָשָׂ֥ה לָעַ֖י וּלְמַלְכָּ֑הּ וְכִ֨י הִשְׁלִ֜ימוּ יֹשְׁבֵ֤י גִבְעוֹן֙ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיִּֽהְי֖וּ בְּקִרְבָּֽם׃

2he was very frightened. For Givon was a large city, like one of the royal cities—in fact, larger than Ai—and all its men were warriors.

vai-yi-RE-u m'-OD, KEE ir g'-DO-la gi-VON, k'-a-KHAT a-REI ha-mam-la-KHA, v'-kee hi g'-DO-la min ha-AI, v'-kol a-na-SHE-ha gi-BO-reem

3So King Adoni-zedek of Yerushalayim sent this message to King Hoham of Chevron, King Piram of Yarmut, King Japhia of Lachish, and King Debir of Eglon:

4“Come up and help me defeat Givon; for it has come to terms with Yehoshua and the Israelites.”

5The five Amorite kings—the king of Yerushalayim, the king of Chevron, the king of Yarmut, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, with all their armies—joined forces and marched on Givon, and encamped against it and attacked it.

vai-ye-a-SU va-ya-a-LU kha-MAYSH-et mal-KHAY ha-e-mo-REE, ME-lekh ye-ru-sha-LA-im, ME-lekh-khe-v'-RON, ME-lekh-yar-MUT, ME-lekh-la-KHEESH, ME-lekh-e-G'-lon, HEM v'-KOL ma-kha-NE-hem, va-ya-KHA-nu al gi-VON, va-yi-la-KHA-mu a-LE-ha

6The people of Givon thereupon sent this message to Yehoshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not fail your servants; come up quickly and aid us and deliver us, for all the Amorite kings of the hill country have gathered against us.”

vai-yish-l'-KHU an-shay gi-VON el y'-ho-SHU-a el ha-ma-kha-NEH ha-gil-GA-lah lay-MOR: al-TE-ref ya-DE-kha me-a-va-DE-kha, a-LEH e-LE-nu me-HE-ra v'-ho-shi-AH la-NU v'-o-ze-RE-nu, KEE nik-B'-tzu e-LE-nu kol mal-KHEI ha-e-mo-REE yo-SHE-vay ha-HAR

7So Yehoshua marched up from Gilgal with his whole fighting force, all the trained warriors.

8Hashem said to Yehoshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I will deliver them into your hands; not one of them shall withstand you.”

9Yehoshua took them by surprise, marching all night from Gilgal.

10Hashem threw them into a panic before Yisrael: [Yehoshua] inflicted a crushing defeat on them at Givon, pursued them in the direction of the Beth-horon ascent, and harried them all the way to Azeika and Makkedah.

v'-yu-MEM a-do-NAI lif-NAY yis-ra-AYL va-ya-KEM ma-KAH-g'-do-LAH b'-gi-v'-ON va-yir-D'-faym DE-rekh ma-a-LEH vay-yi-KEM ad-a-ZAY-kah v'-ad ma-kay-DAH

11While they were fleeing before Yisrael down the descent from Beth-horon, Hashem hurled huge stones on them from the sky, all the way to Azeika, and they perished; more perished from the hailstones than were killed by the Israelite weapons.

12On that occasion, when Hashem routed the Amorites before the Israelites, Yehoshua addressed Hashem; he said in the presence of the Israelites: “Stand still, O sun, at Givon, O moon, in the Valley of Aijalon!”

13And the sun stood still And the moon halted, While a nation wreaked judgment on its foes —as is written in the Book of Jashar. Thus the sun halted in midheaven, and did not press on to set, for a whole day;

14for Hashem fought for Yisrael. Neither before nor since has there ever been such a day, when Hashem acted on words spoken by a man.

15Then Yehoshua together with all Yisrael returned to the camp at Gilgal.

16Meanwhile, those five kings fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah.

17When it was reported to Yehoshua that the five kings had been found hiding in a cave at Makkedah,

18Yehoshua ordered, “Roll large stones up against the mouth of the cave, and post men over it to keep guard over them.

19But as for the rest of you, don't stop, but press on the heels of your enemies and harass them from the rear. Don't let them reach their towns, for Hashem your God has delivered them into your hands.”

20When Yehoshua and the Israelites had finished dealing them a deadly blow, they were wiped out, except for some fugitives who escaped into the fortified towns.

21The whole army returned in safety to Yehoshua in the camp at Makkedah; no one so much as snarled at the Israelites.

22And now Yehoshua ordered, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me.”

vai-YO-mer y'-ho-SHU-a, pit-KHU et-PI ha-m'-a-RA, v'-ho-tzi-U e-LAI et-kha-MAYT ha-m'-la-KHEEM ha-E-leh min ha-m'-a-RAH

23This was done. Those five kings—the king of Yerushalayim, the king of Chevron, the king of Yarmut, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon—were brought out to him from the cave.

24And when the kings were brought out to Yehoshua, Yehoshua summoned all the men of Yisrael and ordered the army officers who had accompanied him, “Come forward and place your feet on the necks of these kings.” They came forward and placed their feet on their necks.

25Yehoshua said to them, “Do not be frightened or dismayed; be firm and resolute. For this is what Hashem is going to do to all the enemies with whom you are at war.”

26After that, Yehoshua had them put to death and impaled on five stakes, and they remained impaled on the stakes until evening.

27At sunset Yehoshua ordered them taken down from the poles and thrown into the cave in which they had hidden. Large stones were placed over the mouth of the cave, [and there they are] to this very day.

28At that time Yehoshua captured Makkedah and put it and its king to the sword, proscribing it and every person in it and leaving none that escaped. And he treated the king of Makkedah as he had treated the king of Yericho.

29From Makkedah, Yehoshua proceeded with all Yisrael to Libnah, and he attacked it.

30Hashem delivered it and its king into the hands of Yisrael; they put it and all the people in it to the sword, letting none escape. And he treated its king as he had treated the king of Yericho.

31From Libnah, Yehoshua proceeded with all Yisrael to Lachish; he encamped against it and attacked it.

32Hashem delivered Lachish into the hands of Yisrael. They captured it on the second day and put it and all the people in it to the sword, just as they had done to Libnah.

33At that time King Horam of Gezer marched to the help of Lachish; but Yehoshua defeated him and his army, letting none of them escape.

34From Lachish, Yehoshua proceeded with all Yisrael to Eglon; they encamped against it and attacked it.

35They captured it on the same day and put it to the sword, proscribing all the people that were in it, as they had done to Lachish.

36From Eglon, Yehoshua marched with all Yisrael to Chevron and attacked it.

37They captured it and put it, its king, and all its towns, and all the people that were in it, to the sword. He let none escape, proscribing it and all the people in it, just as he had done in the case of Eglon.

38Yehoshua and all Yisrael with him then turned back to Debir and attacked it.

39He captured it and its king and all its towns. They put them to the sword and proscribed all the people in it. They let none escape; just as they had done to Chevron, and as they had done to Libnah and its king, so they did to Debir and its king.

40Thus Yehoshua conquered the whole country: the hill country, the Negev, the Shephelah, and the slopes, with all their kings; he let none escape, but proscribed everything that breathed—as Hashem, the God of Yisrael, had commanded.

vai-YA-keh y'-ho-SHU-a et kol ha-A-retz ha-HAR v'-ha-NE-gev v'-ha-she-FE-lah v'-ha-a-SHE-doth v'-ET kol mal-khay-HEM lo hish-IR sa-REED v'-ET kol ha-ne-SHA-mah he-khe-REEM ka-a-SHER tzi-VAH a-do-NAI e-lo-HAY yis-ra-AYL

41Yehoshua conquered them from Kadesh-barnea to Azza, all the land of Goshen, and up to Givon.

42All those kings and their lands were conquered by Yehoshua at a single stroke, for Hashem, the God of Yisrael, fought for Yisrael.

43Then Yehoshua, with all Yisrael, returned to the camp at Gilgal.
