1E quando Adoni-Zedeque rei de Jerusalém ouviu que Josué havia tomado a Ai, e que a haviam assolado, (como havia feito a Jericó e a seu rei, assim fez a Ai e a seu rei;) e que os moradores de Gibeão fizeram paz com os israelitas, e que estavam entre eles; 2Tiveram muito grande temor; porque Gibeão era uma grande cidade, como uma das cidades reais, e maior que Ai, e todos os seus homens fortes. 3Enviou, pois, a dizer Adoni-Zedeque rei de Jerusalém, a Hoão rei de Hebrom, e a Pirã rei de Jeremote, e a Jafia rei de Laquis, e a Debir rei de Eglom: 4Subi a mim, e ajudai-me, e combatamos a Gibeão: porque fez paz com Josué e com os filhos de Israel. 5E cinco reis dos amorreus, o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebrom, o rei de Jeremote, o rei de Laquis, o rei de Eglom, se juntaram e subiram, eles com todos os seus exércitos, e assentaram acampamento sobre Gibeão, e lutaram contra ela. 6E os moradores de Gibeão enviaram a dizer a Josué ao acampamento em Gilgal: Não encolhas tuas mãos de teus servos; sobe prontamente a nós para guardar-nos e ajudar-nos: porque todos os reis dos amorreus que habitam nas montanhas, se juntaram contra nós. 7E subiu Josué de Gilgal, ele e todo aquele povo de guerra com ele, e todos os homens valentes. 8E o SENHOR disse a Josué: Não tenhas medo deles: porque eu os entreguei em tua mão, e nenhum deles resistirá diante de ti. 9E Josué veio a eles de repente, toda a noite subiu desde Gilgal. 10E o SENHOR os perturbou diante de Israel, e feriu-os com grande mortandade em Gibeão: e seguiu-os pelo caminho que sobe a Bete-Horom, e feriu-os até Azeca e Maceda. 11E quando iam fugindo dos israelitas, à descida de Bete-Horom, o SENHOR lançou sobre eles do céu grandes pedras até Azeca, e morreram: muitos mais morreram das pedras do granizo, que os que os filhos de Israel haviam matado à espada. 12Então Josué falou ao SENHOR o dia que o SENHOR entregou aos amorreus diante dos filhos de Israel, e disse em presença dos israelitas: Sol, detém-te em Gibeão; E tu, Lua, no vale de Aijalom. 13E o sol se deteve e a lua se parou, Até tanto que a gente se havia vingado de seus inimigos. Não está este escrito no livro de Jasar? E o sol se parou em meio do céu, e não se apressou a se pôr quase um dia inteiro. 14E nunca foi tal dia antes nem depois daquele, havendo atendido o SENHOR à voz de um homem: porque o SENHOR lutava por Israel. 15E Josué, e todo Israel com ele, voltava-se ao acampamento em Gilgal. 16Porém os cinco reis fugiram, e se esconderam em uma cova em Maquedá. 17E foi dito a Josué que os cinco reis haviam sido achados em uma cova em Maquedá. 18Então Josué disse: Rolai grandes pedras à boca da cova, e ponde homens junto a ela que os guardem; 19E vós não vos pareis, mas sim segui a vossos inimigos, e feri-lhes a retaguarda, sem deixar-lhes entrar em suas cidades; porque o SENHOR vosso Deus os entregou em vossa mão. 20E aconteceu que quando Josué e os filhos de Israel acabaram de feri-los com mortandade muito grande, até destruí-los, os que restaram deles se meteram nas cidades fortes. 21E todo aquele povo se voltou salvo ao acampamento a Josué em Maquedá; que não houve quem movesse sua língua contra os filhos de Israel. 22Então disse Josué: Abri a boca da cova, e tirai-me dela a estes cinco reis. 23E fizeram-no assim, e tiraram-lhe da cova aqueles cinco reis: ao rei de Jerusalém, ao rei de Hebrom, ao rei de Jeremote, ao rei de Laquis, ao rei de Eglom. 24E quando tiraram estes reis a Josué, chamou Josué a todos os homens de Israel, e disse aos principais da gente de guerra que haviam vindo com ele: Chegai e ponde vossos pés sobre os pescoços destes reis. E eles se aproximaram, e puseram seus pés sobre os pescoços deles. 25E Josué lhes disse: Não temais, nem vos atemorizeis; sede fortes e valentes: porque assim fará o SENHOR a todos vossos inimigos contra os quais lutai. 26E depois disto Josué os feriu e os matou, e os fez enforcar em cinco madeiros: e restaram enforcados nos madeiros até à tarde. 27E quando o sol se ia a pôr, mandou Josué que os tirassem dos madeiros, e os lançassem na cova de onde se haviam escondido: e puseram grandes pedras à boca da cova, até hoje. 28Naquele mesmo dia tomou Josué a Maquedá, e a pôs à espada, e matou a seu rei; a eles e a tudo o que nela tinha vida, sem restar nada: mas ao rei de Maquedá fez como havia feito ao rei de Jericó. 29E de Maquedá passou Josué, e todo Israel com ele, a Libna; e lutou contra Libna: 30E o SENHOR a entregou também a ela, e a seu rei, em mãos de Israel; e feriu-a a fio de espada, com tudo o que nela havia vivo, sem restar nada: mas a seu rei fez da maneira que havia feito ao rei de Jericó. 31E Josué, e todo Israel com ele, passou de Libna a Laquis, e pôs acampamento contra ela, e combateu-a: 32E o SENHOR entregou a Laquis em mão de Israel, e tomou-a ao dia seguinte, e feriu-a à espada, com tudo o que nela havia vivo, como havia feito em Libna. 33Então Horão, rei de Gezer, subiu em ajuda de Laquis; mas a ele e a seu povo feriu Josué, até não restar nenhum deles. 34De Laquis passou Josué, e todo Israel com ele, a Eglom: e puseram acampamento contra ela, e combateram-na: 35E a tomaram no mesmo dia, e meteram-na à espada; e aquele dia matou a todo o que nela havia vivo, como havia feito em Laquis. 36Subiu logo Josué, e todo Israel com ele, de Eglom a Hebrom, e combateram-na; 37E tomando-a, feriram-na à espada, a seu rei e a todas as suas cidades, com tudo o que nela havia vivo, sem restar nada: como fizeram a Eglom, assim a destruíram com tudo o que nela havia vivo. 38E voltando-se Josué, e todo Israel com ele, sobre Debir, combateu-a; 39E tomou-a, e a seu rei, e a todas as suas vilas; e feriram-nos à espada, e destruíram tudo o que ali dentro havia vivo, sem restar nada; como havia feito a Hebrom, assim fez a Debir e a seu rei; e como havia feito a Libna e a seu rei. 40Feriu pois Josué toda a região das montanhas, e do sul, e das planícies, e das costas, e a todos os seus reis, sem restar nada; tudo o que tinha vida matou, ao modo que o SENHOR Deus de Israel o havia mandado. 41E feriu-os Josué desde Cades-Barneia até Gaza, e toda a terra de Gósen até Gibeão. 42Todos estes reis e suas terras tomou Josué de uma vez; porque o SENHOR o Deus de Israel lutava por Israel. 43E voltou Josué, e todo Israel com ele, ao acampamento em Gilgal.
1Now when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them; 2they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty. 3Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying, 4“Come up to me, and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.” 5Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their armies, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it. 6The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, “Don’t abandon your servants! Come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us.” 7So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor. 8Yahweh said to Joshua, “Don’t fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you.” 9Joshua therefore came on them suddenly. He went up from Gilgal all night. 10Yahweh confused them before Israel, and he killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to Makkedah. 11As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, Yahweh hurled down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than who the children of Israel killed with the sword. 12Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop in the valley of Aijalon!” 13The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn’t this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down about a whole day. 14There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man; for Yahweh fought for Israel. 15Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal. 16These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. 17Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.” 18Joshua said, “Roll large stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them; 19but don’t stay. Pursue your enemies, and them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter into their cities; for Yahweh your God has delivered them into your hand.” 20When Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities, 21all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel. 22Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me.” 23They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. 24When they brought those kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, “Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings.” They came near, and put their feet on their necks. 25Joshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and courageous, for Yahweh will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight.” 26Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening. 27At the time of the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day. 28Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed them and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. He did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho. 29Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah. 30Yahweh delivered it also, with its king, into the hand of Israel. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining in it. He did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho. 31Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it. 32Yahweh delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel. He took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls who were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah. 33Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him no one remaining. 34Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it fought against it. 35They took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish. 36Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it. 37They took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it. 38Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it. 39He took it, with its king and all its cities. They struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king. 40So Joshua struck all the land, the hill country, and the South, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings. He left no one remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded. 41Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon. 42Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time, because Yahweh, the God of Israel, fought for Israel. 43Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
1Het geschiedde nu, toen Adoni-Zedek, de koning van Jeruzalem, gehoord had, dat Jozua Ai ingenomen, en haar verbannen had, en aan Ai en haar koning alzo gedaan had, gelijk als hij aan Jericho en haar koning gedaan had; en dat de inwoners van Gibeon vrede met Israel gemaakt hadden, en in derzelver midden waren; 2Zo vreesden zij zeer; want Gibeon was een grote stad, als een der koninklijke steden; ja, zij was groter dan Ai, en al haar mannen waren sterk. 3Daarom zond Adoni-Zedek, koning van Jeruzalem, tot Hoham, den koning van Hebron, en tot Pir-Am, den koning van Jarmuth, en tot Jafia, den koning van Lachis, en tot Debir, den koning van Eglon, zeggende: 4Komt op tot mij, en helpt mij, dat wij Gibeon slaan; omdat zij vrede gemaakt heeft met Jozua en met de kinderen Israels. 5Toen werden verzameld en kwamen op, vijf koningen der Amorieten, de koning van Jeruzalem, de koning van Hebron, de koning van Jarmuth, de koning van Lachis, de koning van Eglon, zij en al hun legers; en zij belegerden Gibeon, en krijgden tegen haar. 6De mannen nu van Gibeon zonden tot Jozua, in het leger van Gilgal, zeggende: Trek uw handen niet af van uw knechten, kom haastelijk tot ons op, en verlos ons, en help ons; want al de koningen der Amorieten, die op het gebergte wonen, hebben zich tegen ons vergaderd. 7Toen toog Jozua op van Gilgal, hij en al het krijgsvolk met hem, en alle strijdbare helden. 8Want de HEERE had tot Jozua gezegd: Vrees u niet voor hen, want Ik heb ze in uw hand gegeven; niemand van hen zal voor uw aangezicht bestaan. 9Alzo kwam Jozua snellijk tot hen; den gansen nacht over was hij van Gilgal opgetrokken. 10En de HEERE verschrikte hen voor het aangezicht van Israel; en hij sloeg hen met een groten slag te Gibeon, en vervolgde hen op den weg, waar men naar Beth-horon opgaat, en sloeg hen tot Azeka en tot Makkeda toe. 11Het geschiedde nu, toen zij voor het aangezicht van Israel vluchtten, zijnde in den afgang van Beth-horon, zo wierp de HEERE grote stenen op hen van den hemel, tot Azeka toe, dat zij stierven; daar waren er meer, die van de hagelstenen stierven, dan die de kinderen Israels met het zwaard doodden. 12Toen sprak Jozua tot den HEERE, ten dage als de HEERE de Amorieten voor het aangezicht de kinderen Israels overgaf, en zeide voor de ogen der Israelieten: Zon, sta stil te Gibeon, en gij, maan, in het dal van Ajalon! 13En de zon stond stil, en de maan bleef staan, totdat zich het volk aan zijn vijanden gewroken had. Is dit niet geschreven in het boek des oprechten? De zon nu stond stil in het midden des hemels, en haastte niet onder te gaan omtrent een volkomen dag. 14En er was geen dag aan dezen gelijk, voor hem noch na hem, dat de HEERE de stem eens mans alzo verhoorde; want de HEERE streed voor Israel. 15Toen keerde Jozua weder, en gans Israel met hem, naar het leger te Gilgal. 16Maar die vijf koningen waren gevloden, en hadden zich verborgen in de spelonk bij Makkeda. 17En aan Jozua werd geboodschapt, mits te zeggen: Die vijf koningen zijn gevonden, verborgen in de spelonk bij Makkeda. 18Zo zeide Jozua: Wentelt grote stenen voor den mond der spelonk, en stelt mannen daarvoor om hen te bewaren. 19Maar staat gijlieden niet stil, jaagt uw vijanden achterna, en slaat hen in den staart; laat hen in hun steden niet komen; want de HEERE, uw God, heeft ze in uw hand gegeven. 20En het geschiedde, toen Jozua en de kinderen Israels geeindigd hadden hen met een zeer groten slag te slaan, totdat zij vernield waren, en dat de overgeblevenen, die van hen overgebleven waren, in de vaste steden gekomen waren; 21Zo keerde al het volk tot Jozua in het leger, bij Makkeda, in vrede; niemand had zijn tong tegen de kinderen Israels geroerd. 22Daarna zeide Jozua: Opent den mond der spelonk, en brengt tot mij uit die vijf koningen, uit die spelonk. 23Zij nu deden alzo, en brachten tot hem uit die vijf koningen, uit de spelonk: den koning van Jeruzalem, den koning van Hebron, den koning van Jarmuth, den koning van Lachis, den koning van Eglon. 24En het geschiedde, als zij die koningen uitgebracht hadden tot Jozua, zo riep Jozua al de mannen van Israel, en hij zeide tot de oversten des krijgsvolks, die met hem getogen waren: Treedt toe, zet uw voeten op de halzen dezer koningen. En zij traden toe, en zetten hun voeten op hun halzen. 25Toen zeide Jozua tot hen: Vreest niet en ontzet u niet, zijt sterk en hebt goeden moed; want alzo zal de HEERE aan al uw vijanden doen, tegen dewelke gijlieden strijdt. 26En Jozua sloeg hen daarna, en doodde ze, en hing ze aan vijf houten; en zij hingen aan de houten tot den avond. 27En het geschiedde, ten tijde als de zon onderging, beval Jozua, dat men hen van de houten afname, en zij wierpen hen in de spelonk, alwaar zij verborgen geweest waren; en zij legden grote stenen voor den mond der spelonk, die daar zijn tot op dezen zelven dag. 28Op denzelven dag nam ook Jozua Makkeda in, en sloeg haar met de scherpte des zwaards; daartoe verbande hij derzelver koning, henlieden en alle ziel die daarin was; hij liet geen overigen overblijven; en hij deed den koning van Makkeda, gelijk als hij den koning van Jericho gedaan had. 29Toen toog Jozua door, en gans Israel met hem, van Makkeda naar Libna, en hij krijgde tegen Libna. 30En de HEERE gaf dezelve ook in de hand van Israel, met haar koning; en hij sloeg haar met de scherpte des zwaards, en alle ziel, die daarin was; hij liet daarin geen overigen overblijven; en hij deed derzelver koning, gelijk als hij den koning van Jericho gedaan had. 31Toen toog Jozua voort, en gans Israel met hem, van Libna naar Lachis; en hij belegerde haar en krijgde tegen haar. 32En de HEERE gaf Lachis in de hand van Israel; en hij nam haar in op den tweeden dag, en hij sloeg haar met de scherpte des zwaards, en alle ziel, die daarin was, naar alles, wat hij aan Libna gedaan had. 33Toen trok Horam, de koning van Gezer, op, om Lachis te helpen; maar Jozua sloeg hem en zijn volk, totdat hij hem geen overigen overliet. 34En Jozua trok voort van Lachis naar Eglon, en gans Israel met hem; en zij belegerden haar en krijgden tegen haar. 35En zij namen haar in ten zelven dage, en sloegen haar met de scherpte des zwaards, en alle ziel, die daarin was, verbande hij op denzelven dag, naar alles, wat hij aan Lachis gedaan had. 36Daarna toog Jozua op, en gans Israel met hem; van Eglon naar Hebron, en zij krijgden tegen haar. 37En zij namen haar in, en sloegen haar met de scherpte des zwaards, zo haar koning als al haar steden, en alle ziel, die daarin was; hij liet niemand in het leven overblijven, naar alles, wat hij Eglon gedaan had; en hij verbande haar, en alle ziel, die daarin was. 38Toen keerde Jozua, en gans Israel met hem, naar Debir, en hij krijgde tegen haar. 39En hij nam haar in, met haar koning, en al haar steden, en zij sloegen haar met de scherpte des zwaards, en verbanden alle ziel, die daarin was; hij liet geen overigen overblijven; gelijk als hij aan Hebron gedaan had, alzo deed hij aan Debir en haar koning, en gelijk als hij aan Libna en haar koning gedaan had; 40Alzo sloeg Jozua het ganse land, het gebergte, en het zuiden, en de laagte, en de aflopingen der wateren, en al hun koningen; hij liet geen overigen overblijven; ja, hij verbande alles, wat adem had, gelijk als de HEERE, de God Israels, geboden had. 41En Jozua sloeg hen van Kades-Barnea en tot Gaza toe; ook het ganse land Gosen, en tot Gibeon toe. 42En Jozua nam al deze koningen en hun land op eenmaal; want de HEERE, de God Israels, streed voor Israel. 43Toen keerde Jozua weder, en gans Israel met hem, naar het leger te Gilgal.
