14. There has never been a day like it before or since. It was a day when the Lord listened to a mere man. You can be sure that the Lord was fighting for Israel!
15. Joshua and his whole army returned to the camp at Gilgal.
16. The five Amorite kings had run away. They had hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
17. Joshua was told that the five kings had been found. He was also told that they were hiding in the cave at Makkedah.
18. He said, "Roll some large rocks up to the opening of the cave. Put some men there to guard it.
19. But keep on going! Chase your enemies. Attack them from behind. Don't let them get back to their cities. The Lord your God has handed them over to you."
20. So Joshua and the men of Israel completely destroyed them. They killed almost every one of them. But a few escaped. They went back to their cities that had high walls around them.
