Contextual Overview

15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal. 16 And these five kings fled, and were hidden in a cave at Makkedah. 17 And it was told to Joshua, saying, the five kings have been found hidden in a cave at Makkedah. 18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men over it to watch them. 19 And you, do not stand still . Pursue your enemies, and you shall strike the hindmost of them. Do not allow them to go into their cities, for Jehovah your God has given them into your hand. 20 And it happened, when Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished destroying them with a very great blow, until they were completely destroyed, and the remnant of them who escaped went into the fortified cities, 21 that all the people returned to the camp in peace, to Joshua at Makkedah. Not one sharpened his tongue against the sons of Israel, against any man. 22 And Joshua said, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out to me these five kings from the cave. 23 And they did so, and brought out to him these 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 it happened, when they brought out these kings to Joshua, Joshua called to every man of Israel and said to the commanders of the men of war who had gone with him, Draw near, set your feet on the necks of these kings. And they drew nearand set their feet on their necks.
