Joshua 10:26 CPDV

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.

²⁷  And when the sun had set, he instructed his assistants that they should take them down from the gallows. And having been taken down, they cast them into the cave, where they had lain hidden, and they set vast stones at its mouth, which remain, even to the present.

²⁸  Also on the same day, Joshua seized Makkedah, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and he put to death its king and all its inhabitants. He did not leave in it even the smallest remains. And he did to the king of Makkedah, just as he had done to the king of Jericho.
