Joshua 10:24 CPDV

²²  And Joshua instructed, saying, 'Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forward to me the five kings, who are hidden within it.'

²³  And the ministers did just as they had been ordered. And they led out to him the five kings from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.

²⁴  And when they had been led out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and he said to the leaders of the army who were with him, 'Go, and place your feet upon the necks of these kings.' And when they had gone and had tread their feet upon the necks of those who were thrown down,

²⁵  he spoke to them again: 'Do not be afraid, and do not dread. Be strengthened and be steadfast. For so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.'

²⁶  And Joshua struck them down and killed them, and he suspended them on five gallows. And they hung there until evening.
