4. “Come and help me attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
5. The five Amorite kings, of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon, gathered with all their forces, and marched against Gibeon to make war on it.
6. Thereupon, the Gibeonites sent an appeal to Joshua in his camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come up here quickly and save us. Help us, because all the Amorite kings of the mountain country have joined together against us.”
7. So Joshua marched up from Gilgal with all his army and all his warriors.
