Joshua 10:13-22 English Revised Version (ERV)

13. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

14. And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

15. And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

16. And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

17. And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.

18. And Joshua said, Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:

19. but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.

20. And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fenced cities,

21. that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

22. Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave.
