1
Now it came to pass, when Adoni–zedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
Ὡς δὲ ἤκουσεν Ἀδωνιβεζέκ βασιλεὺς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ὅτι ἔλαβεν Ἰησοῦς τὴν Γαὶ, καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσεν αὐτὴν, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τὴν Ἱεριχὼ καὶ τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς, οὕτως ἐποίησαν καὶ τὴν Γαὶ καὶ τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς, καὶ ὅτι ηὐτομόλησαν οἱ κατοικοῦντες Γαβαὼν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν καὶ πρὸς Ἰσραὴλ,
2
That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.
καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν ἀπʼ αὐτῶν σφόδρα· ᾔδει γὰρ ὅτι πόλις μεγάλη Γαβαὼν, ὡσεὶ μία τῶν μητροπόλεων, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτῆς ἰσχυροί.
3
Wherefore Adoni–zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἀδωνιβεζὲκ βασιλεὺς Ἰερουσαλὴμ πρὸς Ἐλὰμ βασιλέα Χεβρὼν, καὶ πρὸς Φιδὼν βασιλέα Ἱερειμοὺθ, καὶ πρὸς Ἰεφθα βασιλέα Λαχὶς καὶ πρὸς Δαβεὶν βασιλέα Ὀδολλὰμ, λέγων,
4
Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
δεῦτε, ἀνάβητε πρός με, καὶ βοηθήσατέ μοι, καὶ ἐκπολεμήσωμεν Γαβαών· ηὐτομόλησαν γὰρ πρὸς Ἰησοῦν καὶ πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ.
5
Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
Καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ πέντε βασιλεῖς τῶν Ἰεβουσαίων, βασιλεὺς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ βασιλεὺς Χεβρὼν, καὶ βασιλεὺς Ἱεριμοὺθ, καὶ βασιλεὺς Λαχὶς, καὶ βασιλεὺς Ὀδολλάμ, αὐτοὶ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτῶν. καὶ περιεκάθισαν τὴν Γαβαὼν, καὶ ἐξεπολιόρκουν αὐτήν.
6
And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
Καὶ ἀπέστειλαν οἱ κατοικοῦντες Γαβαὼν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Γάλγαλα, λέγοντες, μὴ ἐκλύσῃς τὰς χεῖράς σου ἀπὸ τῶν παίδων σου· ἀνάβηθι πρὸς ἡμᾶς, τοτάχος, και βοήθησον ἡμῖν, καὶ ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς· ὅτι συνηγμένοι εἰσὶν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῶν Ἀμοῤῥαίων, οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν ὀρεινὴν.
7
So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
Καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰησοῦς ἐκ Γαλγάλων, αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ πολεμιστὴς μετʼ αὐτοῦ, πᾶς δυνατὸς ἐν ἰσχύϊ.
8
And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Ἰησοῦν, μὴ φοβηθῇς αὐτούς, εἰς γὰρ τὰς χεῖράς σου παραδέδωκα αὐτούς· οὐχ ὑπολειφθήσεται ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐδεὶς ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν.
9
Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
Καὶ ἐπεὶ παρεγένετο Ἰησοῦς ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἄφνω, ὅλην τὴν νύκτα εἰσεπορεύθη ἐκ Γαλγάλων.
10
And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth–horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
Καὶ ἐξέστησεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ συνέτριψεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος συντρίψει μεγάλῃ ἐν Γαβαών· καὶ κατεδίωξαν αὐτοὺς ὁδὸν ἀναβάσεως Ὠρωνείν, καὶ κατέκοπτον αὐτοὺς ἕως Ἀζηκὰ καὶ ἕως Μακηδά.
11
And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth–horon, that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
Ἐν δὲ τῷ φεύγειν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὴς καταβάσεως Ὡρωνεὶν, καὶ Κύριος ἐπέῤῥιψεν αὐτοῖς λίθους χαλάζης ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἕως Ἀζηκά· καὶ ἐγένοντο πλείους οἱ ἀποθανόντες διὰ τοὺς λίθους τῆς χαλάζης, ἢ οὓς ἀπέκτειναν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ μαχαίρᾳ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ.
12
Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
Τότε ἐλάλησεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς Κύριον, ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ παρέδωκεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν Ἀμοῤῥαῖον ὑποχείριον Ἰσραὴλ, ἡνίκα συνέτριψεν αὐτοὺς ἐν Γαβαὼν, καὶ συνετρίβησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς, στήτω ὁ ἥλιος κατὰ Γαβαὼν, καὶ ἡ σελήνη κατὰ φάραγγα Αἰλών.
13
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
Καὶ ἔστη ὁ ἥλιος καὶ ἡ σελήνη ἐν στάσει, ἕως ἠμύνατο ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔστη ὁ ἥλιος κατὰ μέσον τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· οὐ προεπορεύετο εἰς δυσμὰς εἰς τέλος ἡμέρας μιᾶς.
14
And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.
Καὶ οὐκ ἐγένετο ἡμέρα τοιαύτη οὐδὲ τὸ πρότερον οὐδὲ τὸ ἔσχατον, ὥστε ἐπακοῦσαι Θεὸν ἀνθρώπου, ὅτι Κύριος συνεξεπολέμησε τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
15
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
—
16
But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
Καὶ ἔφυγον οἱ πέντε βασιλεῖς οὗτοι, καὶ κατεκρύβησαν εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ ἐν Μακηδά.
17
And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
Καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Ἰησοῦ, λέγοντες, εὕρηνται οἱ πέντε βασιλεῖς κεκρυμμένοι ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ τῷ ἐν Μακηδά.
18
And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς, κυλίσατε λίθους ἐπὶ τὸ στόμα τοῦ σπηλαίου, καὶ καταστήσατε ἄνδρας φυλάσσειν ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
19
And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord your God hath delivered them into your hand.
Ὑμεῖς δὲ μὴ ἑστήκατε, καταδιώκοντες ὀπίσω τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ καταλάβετε τὴν οὐραγίαν αὐτῶν, καὶ μὴ ἀφῆτε εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν· παρέδωκε γὰρ αὐτοὺς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν.
20
And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel 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.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς κατέπαυσεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ πᾶς υἱὸς Ἰσραὴλ κόπτοντες αὐτοὺς κοπὴν μεγάλην σφόδρα ἕως εἰς τέλος, καὶ οἱ διασωζόμενοι διεσώθησαν εἰς τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυράς.
21
And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
Καὶ ἀπεστράφη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Ἰησοῦν εἰς Μακηδὰ ὑγιεῖς· καὶ οὐκ ἔγρυξεν οὐδεὶς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰηραὴλ τῇ γλώσσῃ αὐτοῦ.
22
Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς, ἀνοίξατε τὸ σπήλαιον, καὶ ἐξαγάγετε τοὺς πέντε βασιλεῖς τούτους ἐκ τοῦ σπηλαίου.
23
And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
Καὶ ἐξηγάγοσαν τοὺς πέντε βασιλεῖς ἐκ τοῦ σπηλαίου, τὸν βασιλέα Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Χεβρὼν, καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Ἱεριμοὺθ, καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Λαχὶς, καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Ὀδολλάμ.
24
And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, 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.
Καὶ ἐπεὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτοὺς πρὸς Ἰησοῦν, καὶ συνεκάλεσεν Ἰησοῦς πάντα Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ τοὺς ἐναρχομένους τοῦ πολέμου τοὺς συμπορευομένους αὐτῷ, λέγων αὐτοῖς, προπορεύεσθε καὶ ἐπίθετε τοὺς πόδας ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τοὺς τραχήλους αὐτῶν· καὶ προσελθόντες ἐπέθηκαν τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τοὺς τραχήλους αὐτῶν.
25
And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτοὺς, μὴ φοβηθῆτε αὐτοὺς, μηδὲ δειλιάσητε, ἀνδρίζεσθε καὶ ἰσχύετε, ὅτι οὕτω ποιήσει Κύριος πᾶσι τοῖς ἐχθροῖς ὑμῶν, οὓς ὑμεῖς καταπολεμεῖτε αὐτούς.
26
And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
Καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἐκρέμασεν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ πέντε ξύλων· καὶ ἦσαν κρεμάμενοι ἐπὶ τῶν ξύλων ἕως ἑσπέρας.
27
And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua 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.
Καὶ ἐγενήθη πρὸς ἡλίου δυσμὰς, ἐνετείλατο Ἰησοῦς, καὶ καθεῖλον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν ξύλων, καὶ ἔῤῥιψαν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον, εἰς ὃ κατεφύγοσαν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐπεκύλισαν λίθους ἐπὶ τὸ σπήλαιον ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.
28
And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.
Καὶ τὴν Μακηδὰ ἐλάβοσαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἐφόνευσαν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ξίφους, καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσαν πᾶν ἐμπνέον ὃ ἦν ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ οὐ κατελείφθη οὐδεὶς ἐν αὐτῇ διασεσωσμένος καὶ διαπεφευγώς· καὶ ἐποίησαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Μακηδὰ, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἱεριχώ.
29
Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐκ Μακηδὰ εἰς Λεβνὰ, καὶ ἐπολιόρκει Λεβνά.
30
And the Lord delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.
Καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτὴν Κύριος εἰς χεῖρας Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὴν, καὶ τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐφόνευσαν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ξίφους, καὶ πᾶν ἐμπνέον ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ οὐ κατελείφθη ἐν αὐτῇ διασεσωσμένος καὶ διαπεφευγώς· καὶ ἐποίησαν τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῆς, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἱεριχώ.
31
And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐκ Λεβνὰ εἰς Λαχὶς, καὶ περιεκάθισεν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐπολιόρκει αὐτήν.
32
And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
Καὶ παρέδωκε Κύριος τὴν Λαχὶς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας Ἰσραήλ. καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ, καὶ ἐφόνευσαν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ξίφους, καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσαν αὐτὴν, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τὴν Λεβνά.
33
Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
Τότε ἀνέβη Ἐλὰμ βασιλεὺς Γαζὲρ βοηθήσων τῇ Λαχείς· καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν Ἰησοῦς ἐν στόματι ξίφους, καὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, ἕως τοῦ μὴ καταλειφθῆναι αὐτῶν σεσωσμένον καὶ διαπεφευγότα.
34
And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐκ Λαχὶς εἰς Ὀδολλὰμ, καὶ περιεκάθισεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξεπολιόρκησεν αὐτήν.
35
And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτὴν Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἐφόνευσεν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ξίφους, καὶ πᾶν ἐμπνέον ἐν ἀτῇ ἐφόνευσαν, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τῇ Λαχίς.
36
And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:
Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς Χεβρὼν, καὶ περιεκάθισεν αὐτήν.
37
And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.
Καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ξίφους, καὶ πᾶν τὸ ἐμπνέον ὅσα ἦν ἐν αὐτῇ· οὐκ ἦν διασεσωσμένος· ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τὴν Ὀδολλὰμ, ἐξωλόθρευσαν αὐτὴν, καὶ ὅσα ἦν ἐν αὐτῇ.
38
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
Καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Δαβίρ· καὶ περικαθίσαντες αὐτὴν,
39
And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
ἔλαβον αὐτὴν, καὶ τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ξίφους, καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσαν αὐτὴν, καὶ πᾶν ἐμπνέον ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ οὐ κατέλιπον αὐτῇ οὐδένα διασεσωσμένον· ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τῇ Χεβρὼν καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῆς, οὕτως ἐποίησαν τῇ Δαβὶρ καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῆς.
40
So Joshua smote 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 God of Israel commanded.
Καὶ ἐπάταξεν Ἰησοῦς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν τῆς ὀρεινῆς, καὶ τὴν Ναγὲβ, καὶ τὴν πεδινὴν, καὶ τὴν Ἀσηδὼθ, καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς αὐτῆς· οὐ κατέλιπον αὐτῶν σεσωσμένον· καὶ πᾶν ἐμπνέον ζωῆς ἐξωλόθρευσεν, ὃν τρόπον ἐνετείλατο Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ,
41
And Joshua smote them from Kadesh–barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
ἀπὸ Κάδης Βαρνῆ ἕως Γάζης πᾶσαν τὴν Γοσὸμ ἕως τῆς Γαβαών.
42
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.
Καὶ πάντας τοὺς βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν ἐπάταξεν Ἰησοῦς εἰσάπαξ· ὅτι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ συνεπολέμει τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
43
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
