Contextual Overview

15Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp at Gilgal. 16Now these five [Amorite] kings fled and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. 17And Joshua was told, "The five kings have been found and are hidden in the cave at Makkedah." 18Joshua said, "Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and assign men by it to guard them, 19but do not stay there yourselves; pursue your enemies and attack them from the rear. Do not allow them to enter their cities, for the LORD your God has given them into your hand." 20Now when Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished striking the Amorites dead in a very great defeat, until they were wiped out, and the surviving remnant among them had entered the fortified cities, 21all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. No one uttered a [threatening] word against any of the sons of Israel. 22Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave and bring out to me those five [Amorite] kings from the cave." 23They did so, and brought these five [Amorite] kings out of the cave to him—the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.24When they brought these kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and told the commanders of the men of war who had gone with him, "Come up close, put your feet on the necks of these kings." So they came forward and put their feet on the necks [of the five kings].
