22. Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring out those five kings to me from the cave.”
23. So they did so, and brought out those five kings to him from the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon.
24. When they brought out those kings to Joshua, Joshua summoned all the men of Israel and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, “Come forward and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came forward and put their feet on their necks.
25. Then Joshua said to them, “Never fear or be dismayed. Chazak! Be strong! For thus will Adonai do to all your enemies whom you will fight.”
26. After this, Joshua struck them and put them to death, then hanged them on five trees, and they remained hanging on the trees until evening.
