Joshua 10

¹⁶ Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.

¹⁷ And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”

¹⁸ So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.

²⁰ So Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.
