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.

and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave; who are next mentioned by name, one by one, according to their dignity, and in the order they were brought unto him:

the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon; who are particularly named for the greater glory of the conquest, and the triumph over them.
