14. There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man, for the Lord fought for Israel.
15. So Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
16. These five kings fled and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17. And it was told to Joshua, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
18. And Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave and set men by it to guard them,
19. but do not stay there yourselves. Pursue your enemies; attack their rear guard. Do not let them enter their cities, for the Lord your God has given them into your hand.”
20. When Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished striking them with a great blow until they were wiped out, and when the remnant that remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
21. then all the people returned safe to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah. Not a man moved his tongue against any of the people of Israel.
