    20So Joshua and the Israelites completely defeated them with a great slaughter, almost wiping them out. But a few survivors managed to retreat to their fortified cities.

    21Then the entire army returned safely to Joshua at the camp in Makkedah, and no one dared to criticize the people of Israel.

    22And Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring out the five kings to me.”

    23They did so, and brought out the five kings from the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.

    24When they brought out these kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the commanders of the warriors who had gone with him, 'Come forward and put your feet on the necks of these kings.' So they came forward and placed their feet on their necks.

    25Then Joshua said to them, 'Do not be afraid or discouraged. Be strong and courageous, for this is what the LORD will do to all the enemies you fight against.'

    26After this, Joshua struck them down and put them to death. He hanged them on five trees, and they were left hanging on the trees until evening.

    27At sunset, Joshua ordered them to be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave where they had hidden. Large stones were placed over the opening of the cave, which remain there to this day.

    28That same day, Joshua captured Makkedah and put it to the sword, along with its king. He completely destroyed everyone in it, leaving no survivors. He treated the king of Makkedah as he had treated the king of Jericho.
