22 Then Joshua (YHWH saves) said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.” 23 So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem (city of peace), Hebron (association), Jarmuth (heights), Lachish (invincible), and Eglon (calf-like). 24 When they had brought the kings to Joshua (YHWH saves), he summoned all the men of Israel (he wrestles with God) and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your⁺ feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks. 25 “Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua (YHWH saves) said. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD {YHWH} will do this to all the enemies you⁺ fight.” 26 After this, Joshua (YHWH saves) struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees (impaled their bodies on five poles) and left them there until evening.
