165, And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and
woman, young and old, and ox and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the
sword. But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the
country, _Go into the harlot's house and bring out thence the woman and
all that she hath_, as ye sware unto her. Joshua vi. 21, 22.
16.6. And it was told Joshua, saying, the five kings are found hid in a
cave at Makkedah. And Joshua said, Roll great stones by the mouth of the
cave, and set men by it for to keep them. And stay you 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. Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out
these five kings unto me out of the cave. And afterwards Joshua _smote
them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees_; and they were
hanging upon the trees until the evening. Joshua x. 17 to 26.
