Contextual Overview

15 After this, Joshua and his army went back to the camp at Gilgal. 16 During the fight the five kings ran away and hid in a cave near Makkedah, 17 but someone found them hiding in the cave at Makkedah and told Joshua. 18 So he said, "Cover the opening of the cave with large rocks. Put some men there to guard it, 19 but don't stay there yourselves. Continue chasing the enemy and attacking them from behind. Don't let them get to their cities, because the Lord your God will hand them over to you." 20 So Joshua and the Israelites killed the enemy, but a few were able to get back to their strong, walled cities. 21 After the fighting, Joshua's men came back safely to him at Makkedah. No one was brave enough to say a word against the Israelites. 22 Joshua said, "Move the rocks that are covering the opening of the cave and bring those five kings out to me." 23 So Joshua's men brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon. 24 When they brought the five kings out to Joshua, he called for all his men. He said to the commanders of his army, "Come here! Put your feet on the necks of these kings." So they came close and put their feet on their necks.

Cross-References

Judges 1:21
But the people of Benjamin could not make the Jebusite people leave Jerusalem. Since that time the Jebusites have lived with the Benjaminites in Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 24:18
That day Gad came to David and said, "Go and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."
Zechariah 9:7
I will stop them from drinking blood and from eating forbidden food. Those left alive will belong to God. They will be leaders in Judah, and Ekron will become like the Jebusites.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But these five kings fled,.... They were not killed by hailstones, nor slain by the sword of the Israelites, but made their escape, being reserved by the providence of God for a more shameful end:

and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah; not in the city of Makkedah, which as yet was not in the hands of Israel, whereas this cave was, as appears by what follows; but it was in some hill, or mountain, near it; in the border of it, as Kimchi expresses it, and where a hill is shown to this day in which it was, as Drusius says.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The thread of the narrative, broken by the four intermediate verses, Joshua 10:12-15, is now resumed from Joshua 10:11.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 10:16. Hid themselves in a cave — It is very likely that this cave was a fortified place among some rocks; for there were many such places in different parts of Palestine.
