1Now it came to pass, when Adoni-Tzedek [My lord is Righteous] king of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] had heard how Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] had taken ‘Ai [Heap of Ruins], and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Yericho [Its Moon] and her king, so he had done to ‘Ai [Heap of Ruins] and her king; and how the inhabitants of Giv’on [Hill City] had made peace with Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and were among them; 2That they feared greatly, because Giv’on [Hill City] [was] a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [was] greater than ‘Ai [Heap of Ruins], and all the men thereof [were] mighty. 3For what reason Adoni-Tzedek [My lord is Righteous] king of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] sent unto Hoham [Whom Yehovah impels] king of Hevron [Seat of Association], and unto Piram king of Yarmut [Heights], and unto Yafia [Shining] king of Lakhish [Invincible], and unto D’vir [Sanctuary] king of ‘Eglon [Calf-like], saying, 4Come up unto me, and help me, that we may strike Giv’on [Hill City]: for it has made peace with Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] and with the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 5Therefore the five kings of the Emori [Highlanders], the king of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], the king of Hevron [Seat of Association], the king of Yarmut [Heights], the king of Lakhish [Invincible], the king of ‘Eglon [Calf-like], gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Giv’on [Hill City], and made war against it.

6And the men of Giv’on [Hill City] sent unto Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] to the camp to Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling], saying, Slack not youⁱ hand from youⁱ servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Emori [Highlanders] that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us. 7So Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] ascended from Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling], he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour. 8And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], Fear them not: for I have delivered them into youⁱ hand; there shall not a man of them stand before youⁱ. 9Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] therefore came unto them suddenly, [and] went up from Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling] all night. 10And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) scattered (defeated in battle) them before Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and killed them with a great slaughter at Giv’on [Hill City], and chased them along the way that goes up to Beit-Horon [House of Hollowness], and struck them to ‘Azekah [Dug Over], and unto Makkedah [Place of Shepherds]. 11And it came to pass, as they fled from before Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [and] were in the going down to Beit-Horon [House of Hollowness], that the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto ‘Azekah [Dug Over], and they died: [they were] more which died with hailstones than [they] whom the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] killed with the sword.

12Then spoke Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] to the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in the day when the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) delivered up the Emori [Highlanders] before the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and he said in the sight of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], Sun, stand youⁱ still upon Giv’on [Hill City]; and youⁱ, Moon, in the valley of Ayalon [Field of Deer].

13And the sun stood still, and the moon detained (held), until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. [Is] not this written in the book of Yahsar [Upright, Correct]? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

14And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) listened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) fought for Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

15And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] returned, and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] with him, unto the camp to Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling].

16But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah [Place of Shepherds]. 17And it was told Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah [Place of Shepherds]. 18And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them: 19And stay you^2f not, [but] pursue after your enemies, and strike the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] has delivered them into your hand. 20And it came to pass, when Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] and the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest [which] remained of them entered into fenced cities. 21And all the people returned to the camp to Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] at Makkedah [Place of Shepherds] in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

22Then said Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave. 23And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], the king of Hevron [Seat of Association], the king of Yarmut [Heights], the king of Lakhish [Invincible], [and] the king of ‘Eglon [Calf-like]. 24And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], that Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] called for all the men of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. 25And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) do to all your enemies against whom you^2f fight. 26And afterward Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] struck them, and killed them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening. 27And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, [that] Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, [which remain] until this very day.

28And that day Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] took Makkedah [Place of Shepherds], and struck it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that [were] in it; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah [Place of Shepherds] as he did unto the king of Yericho [Its Moon].

29Then Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] passed from Makkedah [Place of Shepherds], and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] with him, unto Livnah [Pavement], and fought against Livnah [Pavement]: 30And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] in it; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Yericho [Its Moon].

31And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] passed from Livnah [Pavement], and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] with him, unto Lakhish [Invincible], and encamped against it, and fought against it: 32And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) delivered Lakhish [Invincible] into the hand of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], which took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] in it, according to all that he had done to Livnah [Pavement].

33Then Horam king of Gezer [Portion] came up to help Lakhish [Invincible]; and Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] struck him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.

34And from Lakhish [Invincible] Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] passed unto ‘Eglon [Calf-like], and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it: 35And they took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] in it he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lakhish [Invincible].

36And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] went up from ‘Eglon [Calf-like], and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] with him, unto Hevron [Seat of Association]; and they fought against it: 37And they took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that [were] in it; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to ‘Eglon [Calf-like]; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that [were] in it.

38And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] returned, and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] with him, to D’vir [Sanctuary]; and fought against it: 39And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that [were] in it; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hevron [Seat of Association], so he did to D’vir [Sanctuary], and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Livnah [Pavement], and to her king.

40So Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] struck all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] commanded. 41And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] struck them from Kadesh [Holy]-Barnea [Holy] even unto ‘Azah [The Strong], and all the country of Goshen [Drawing Near], even unto Giv’on [Hill City]. 42And all these kings and their land did Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] take at one time, because the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] fought for Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 43And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] returned, and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] with him, unto the camp to Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling].
