12. Then Josue spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon.
13. And the sun and the moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the just? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down the space of one day.
14. There was not before nor after so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.
15. And Josue returned with all Israel into the camp of Galgal.
16. For the five kings were fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda.
17. And it was told Josue that the five kings were found hidden in a cave of the city of Maceda.
18. And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men, to keep them shut up:
19. And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord God hath delivered into your hands to shelter themselves in their cities.
20. So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered into fenced cities.
21. And all the army returned to Josue in Maceda, where the camp then was, in good health and without the loss of any one: and no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel.
22. And Josue gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein.
