Now it came H1961 about H1961 when Adoni-zedek H139 king H4428 of Jerusalem H3389 heard H8085 that Joshua H3091 had captured H3920 Ai H5857, and had [fn]utterly H2763 destroyed H2763 it (just H834 as he had done H6213 to Jericho H3405 and its king H4428, so H3651 he had done H6213 to Ai H5857 and its king H4428), and that the inhabitants H3427 of Gibeon H1391 had made H7999 peace H7999 with Israel H3478 and were [fn]within H7130 their land H7130,
Then the men H376 of Gibeon H1391 sent H7971 word to Joshua H3091 at the camp H4264 at Gilgal H1537, saying H559, “Do not [fn]abandon H7503 H3027 H4480 your servants H5650; come H5927 up H5927 to us quickly H4120 and save H3467 us and help H5826 us, for all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 that live H3427 in the hill H2022 country H2022 have assembled H6908 against H413 us.”
So the sun H8121 stood H1826 still H1826, and the moon H3394 stopped H5975,
Until H5704 the nation H1471 avenged H5358 themselves of their enemies H340.
Is it not written H3789 in the Book H5612 of Jashar H3477? And the sun H8121 stopped H5975 in the middle H2677 of the sky H8064 and did not hurry H213 to go H935 down for about H935 a whole H8549 day H3117.
Now Joshua H3091 captured H3920 Makkedah H4719 on that day H3117, and struck H5221 it and its king H4428 with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719; he [fn]utterly H2763 destroyed H2763 [fn]it and every H3605 [fn]person H5315 who H834 was in it. He left H7604 no H3808 survivor H8300. So he did H6213 to the king H4428 of Makkedah H4719 just H834 as H834 he had done H6213 to the king H4428 of Jericho H3405.
So Joshua H3091 struck H5221 all H3605 the land H776, the hill H2022 country H2022 and the [fn]Negev H5045 and the lowland H8219 and the slopes H794, and all H3605 their kings H4428. He left H7604 no H3808 survivor H8300, but he [fn]utterly H2763 destroyed H2763 all H3605 who H5397 breathed H5397, just H834 as H834 the LORD H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478, had commanded H6680.
