1And when Adunitsdeq, King of Jerusalem, heard that Yeshua had seized Ai and destroyed it, and just as he did to Jeirikho and its King, so he did to Ai and its King, and that the inhabitants of Gebuun had made peace with Israel and were among them 2They were very afraid because the city Gebuun was great as one of the cities of the kingdom and was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty men 3And Adunitsdeq, King of Jerusalem sent to Huham, King of Khebrun, and to Baran King of Yarmuth, and to Naphi, King of Lakish, and to Dabir, King of Eglun, and he sent to them 4“Come up to me and be a help to me and we shall fight with Gebuun, because it has made peace with Yeshua and with Israel!” 5And the five Kings of the Amorites assembled and came up: The King of Jerusalem and the King of Khebrun and the King of Yarmuth and the King of Lakish and the King of Eglun, those and all their camps, and they camped against Gebuun and they made war with it

6And the men of Gebuun sent to Yeshua, to the encampment at Galgala, and they said to him: “Do not relax your hands from your Servants because all the Kings of the Amorites who dwell in the mountains are gathered against us” 7And Yeshua came up from Galgala, he and all the people, the Warriors of his people and all the Mighty Men of Power 8And LORD JEHOVAH said to Yeshua: “You shall not be afraid of them, for into your hands I have delivered them, and none of them is able to stand before you” 9And Yeshua came to them from the stillness. All night he was going up from Galgala 10And LORD JEHOVAH troubled them before Israel, and they struck them a great blow in Gebuun of Bayth Khuran and pursued them in the way of the ascent of Bayth Khuran, and attacked them with the sword unto Akar and unto Maqar 11And when they fled from before Israel and they were coming down at the descent of Bayth Khuran, LORD JEHOVAH cast great stones upon them from the sky as far as Akar, and they died, and there were more who died by the hail stones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword

12Then Yeshua spoke before LORD JEHOVAH in the day that LORD JEHOVAH would finish the Amorites before Israel, and Yeshua said before the children of Israel: “Sun in Gebuun, stay, and you moon in the plain of Ayluun!

13And the sun stopped and the moon stood still until the people was avenged on its enemies, and behold, it is written in The Book of Songs. And the sun stood still at mid sky and did not hurry to set, and it was about a whole day

14And there was not a day like that before it or after it, just as LORD JEHOVAH listened to the voice of Yeshua, because LORD JEHOVAH was making war for Israel

15And Yeshua returned and all Israel with him to the encampment at Galgala

16And these five Kings fled and they hid themselves in the cave of Maqar 17And it was heard by Yeshua and they said to him: “These five Kings were found hiding in the cave of Maqar” 18And Yeshua said: “Roll great stones and set them over the doorway of the cave and leave men there to guard them 19But you shall not stay, but chase after your enemies and overtake them and you shall not allow them to enter the city, so that LORD JEHOVAH your God will deliver them into your hands 20And when Yeshua and the children of Israel finished destroying them with a great destruction until they were finished, and no survivor was left of them, and they brought those rebels of Gebuun to their fortress cities 21Then all the people returned to the encampment to Yeshua at Maqar in peace, and none of the house of Israel harmed a man with his tongue

22And Yeshua said: “Open the mouth of the cave and bring out to me these five Kings from the cave” 23And they did as Yeshua said to them and they brought out to him the five Kings from the cave, the King of Jerusalem, and the King of Khebrun, and the King of Yarmuth, and the King of Lakish, and the King of Eglun 24And when they had brought these Kings to Yeshua, Yeshua called all of the Rulers, the workers of war who were walking with him, and he said to them: “Come and put your feet on the necks of these Kings”, and they approached and they placed their feet on the necks of these Kings 25And Yeshua said to them: “You shall not be afraid and you shall not tremble. Be strengthened and be strong, because thus LORD JEHOVAH does to all your enemies with whom you fight” 26And afterward Yeshua killed them and he hanged them on five trees and they were hanging on the trees until evening 27And at the time of the setting of the sun, Yeshua commanded and they took them down from the trees for crosses, and they cast them into the cave in which they had been hiding, and they placed great stones on the mouth of the cave until today

28And Yeshua defeated Maqar in that day and he destroyed it by the mouth of the sword, and they killed its King and everyone that was in it and he left of them not one survivor, and he did to the King of Maqar just as he did to the King of Yerikho

29And Yeshua passed by and all Israel with him, from Maqar to Lebna, and he fought with Lebna 30And LORD JEHOVAH delivered it also into the hand of Israel, and they destroyed it and its King by the mouth of the sword, and all the souls that were in it, and he did not leave a survivor in it, and Yeshua did to its King according to what he did to the King of Yerikho

31And Yeshua passed by and all Israel with him from Lebna to Lakish, and he encamped against it and he made war with it 32And LORD JEHOVAH delivered Lakish into the hand of Israel and he defeated it on the second day and he destroyed it by the mouth of the sword and all the souls that were in it as he did to Lebna

33Then Hermun King of Gezer went up to help Lakish, and Yeshua destroyed it, even it and its people by the mouth of the sword, and he did not leave it a survivor

34And Yeshua passed by and all Israel with him, from Lakish to Eglun, and he encamped against it and he made war with it 35And he defeated it on that day and he destroyed it by the mouth of the sword and all the persons that there were in it, just as he did to Lakish

36And Yeshua came up and all Israel with him from Eglun to Khebron and he made war with it 37And he defeated it and he destroyed it by the mouth of the sword and its King and all these his cities, and all these souls that there were in it, and he did not leave a survivor of them, as he did to Eglun and all the souls that were in it whom he put to the sword

38And Yeshua returned and all Israel with him to Dabir and he fought with it 39And he defeated it and its King and all these his cities and he destroyed them by the mouth of the sword, and he destroyed all the souls in it and he did not leave of them a survivor; as he did to Khebron, so he did to Debir and its King and just as he did to Lebna and its King

40And Yeshua destroyed all the land, the mountain and the south and to the plain and to Ashduud and all their Kings, and he did not leave a survivor of them, and he destroyed all of their army, just as LORD JEHOVAH the God of Israel commanded him 41And Yeshua destroyed them from Raqem d’Gaya unto Aza, and all the land of Geshan and unto Gebuun 42And all these Kings and their countries Yeshua defeated at one time, because LORD JEHOVAH the God of Israel was with him and was doing battle for Israel 43The Peshitta omits this verse, as does the LXX.
