Joshua 10:1-6 Now when Adonibezek, the king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Gai, and utterly destroyed it; As they had done to Jericho, and the king thereof, so had they done to Gai, and its king and that the inhabitants of Gabaon had gone over to Joshua and Israel;

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now when Adonibezek, the king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Gai, and utterly destroyed it; [As they had done to Jericho, and the king thereof, so had they done to Gai, and its king] and that the inhabitants of Gabaon had gone over to Joshua and Israel; ² [Now there was a great dread on account of them, for he knew that Gabaon was a great city, like one of the chief cities, and that all the inhabitants thereof were men of valour;] ³ Adonibezek, the king of Jerusalem sent to Elam, king of Chebron, and to Phedon, king of Jerimuth, and to Jephtha, king of Lachis, and to Dabin, king of Odollam, saying, ⁴ Haste, come up to me, and help me, and let us smite Gabaon, for they have revolted to Joshua and the Israelites. ⁵ So the five kings of the Jebusites, the king of Jerusalem, and the king of Chebron, and the king of Jerimuth, and the king of Lachis, and the king of Odollam, went up, they and their people, and encamped about Gabaon, and besieged it. ⁶ Thereupon the inhabitants of Gabaon sent to Joshua, to the camp of Israel, at Galgala, saying, Slack not thy hands from thy servants. Come up to us with all speed, and help us, and deliver us; for all the kings of the Amorites who inhabit the hilly country are assembled against us.
