14. There has not been a day like this before it or after, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man; for Yahweh fought for Israel.
15. And Joshua returned and all Israel with him to the camp at Gilgal.
16. But these five kings fled and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17. And it was told to Joshua, saying, “The five kings were found hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
18. And Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and set men in front of it to guard them.
19. But do not stay there; pursue after your enemies and attack them from the rear. Do not allow them to go into their cities, for Yahweh your God has given them into your hand.”
20. When Joshua and the Israelites had finished striking them with a very great blow, until they perished, those of them who survived went into the fortified cities,
21. and all the people returned to the camp safely to Joshua at Makkedah. No one spoke against the Israelites.
22. And Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring to me those five kings from the cave.”
23. And they did so, and brought him these five kings from the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
