Contextual Overview
15Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp to Gilgal. 16And these five kings fled and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. 17Then it was told Joshua, saying, "The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah." 18And Joshua said, "Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave and assign men by it to keep watch over them, 19but as for you, do not stand there; pursue your enemies and attack them in the rear. Do not allow them to enter their cities, for Yahweh your God has given them into your hand." 20Now it happened when Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished striking them with a very great slaughter until they were completely destroyed, and the survivors—those of them who survived—had entered the fortified cities, 21that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. No one so much as lifted his tongue against any of the sons of Israel. 22Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave and bring these five kings out to me from the cave." 23And they did so and brought these five kings out to him from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. 24Now it happened that when they brought these kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." So they came near and put their feet on their necks.

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.
