¹ And when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had destroyed it, and how that as he had done to Jericho and her king, even so he had done to Ai and her king, and how the inhabiters of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and did remain among them: ² then they feared exceedingly, for Gibeon was a great city, as any city of the kingdom, and thereto greater than Ai, and all her men were mighty. ³ Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying, ⁴ "Come up unto me and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel." ⁵ Then the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon gathered themselves together, both they and all their hosts and went up and besieged Gibeon, and made war against it. ⁶ But the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua unto the host to Gilgal, saying, "Withdraw not thy hands from thy servants, but come up to us: for all the kings of the Amorites which dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us." ⁷ And Joshua ascended from Gilgal, both he and all the people of war with him, and all the men of might, ⁸ and the LORD said unto Joshua, fear them not, for I have delivered them unto thine hand, there shall not a man of them stand before thee. ⁹ And Joshua came unto them suddenly, and journeyed from Gilgal all night. ¹⁰ And the LORD turmoiled them before Israel and slew of them a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron and slew them till they came to Azekah and Makkedah. ¹¹ And as they fled from Israel, even in the going down to Bethhoron, the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them, until they came unto Azekah, that they died. And there were more that died with hailstones, than the children of Israel slew with the sword. ¹² Then spake Joshua unto the LORD, the day when the LORD delivered the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of all Israel, "Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon." ¹³ And the sun abode, and the moon stood still, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the righteous, how that the sun abode in the midst of heaven and hasted not to go down by the space of a whole day? ¹⁴ And there was no day like that, before it, or after it, that the LORD obeyed the voice of a man: and all because the LORD fought for Israel. ¹⁵ And Joshua returned and all Israel with him, unto the host to Gilgal: ¹⁶ but the five kings fled and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah. ¹⁷ And it was told Joshua, saying, "The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah." ¹⁸ And Joshua said, roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave and appoint men thereto, for to keep them. ¹⁹ And stand ye not still, but follow after your enemies and smite the hindmost of them. And suffer them not to enter into their cities, for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hands. ²⁰ And when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a great slaughter till they were wasted, yet there remained a certain of them, which entered into walled cities. ²¹ And all the people returned to the host, to Joshua at Makkedah in peace, so that no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel. ²² Then said Joshua, "Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out these five kings unto me out of the cave." ²³ And they did so, and brought those five kings unto him, out of the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. ²⁴ And when they had brought out those kings unto Joshua: Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war, which came with him, "Come near and put your feet upon the necks of these kings." And they came near and put their feet upon the necks of them. ²⁵ And Joshua said unto them, "Fear not, nor dread: But be strong and pluck up your hearts, for so shall the LORD serve all your enemies against which ye fight." ²⁶ And then Joshua smote them and slew them and hanged them on five trees till evening. ²⁷ And at the going down of the sun, Joshua gave commandment, and they took them down off the trees and cast them into the cave, where they hid themselves, and laid great stones on the cave's mouth, which remain unto this day. ²⁸ And that same day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof also, and utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein, and let nought remain. And he did to the king of Makkedah, as he did to the king of Jericho. ²⁹ Then Joshua went from Makkedah, and all Israel with him unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah. ³⁰ And the LORD delivered it also into their hands, with the king also, and smote it with the edge of the sword and all the souls that were therein, and let nought remain in it, and did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho. ³¹ After that, Joshua departed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and besieged it, and assaulted it. ³² And the LORD delivered, into the hands of Israel, Lachish; that they took it the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he did to Libnah. ³³ Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish: But Joshua smote him and his people, until he left him nought remaining. ³⁴ And from Lachish, Joshua departed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him, and there besieged it, and assaulted it, ³⁵ and took it the same day, and smote it with the edge of the sword and all the souls that were therein: and utterly destroyed them the same day, according to all that he did to Lachish. ³⁶ Then Joshua departed up from Eglon and all Israel with him, unto Hebron. And they fought against it, ³⁷ and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the towns that pertained to it, and all the souls that were therein, so that they left nought remaining: but in all things as they did to Eglon, so they destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein. ³⁸ Then Joshua returned and all Israel with him to Debir, and they fought against it, ³⁹ and took it, and the king thereof and all the towns that pertained thereto.

And the LORD so hailed in the land of Egypt ²⁴ that there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, so grievous that there was none such in all the land of Egypt, since people inhabited it. ²⁵ And the hail smote in the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast.

For the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

⁹ Behold, I have said unto thee, be strong and bold: neither fear, nor dread. For the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

⁹ and said unto the men, "I know that the LORD hath given you the land, both because that the fear of you is fallen upon us, and because that the inhabiters of the land faint at your coming. ¹⁰ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the reed sea before you, when you came out of Egypt, and what you did unto the two kings of the Amorites on the other side Jordan; Sihon, and Og, which ye utterly destroyed. ¹¹ And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did faint.

¹ And the LORD said unto Joshua, "Fear not, nor dread: but take all the men of war with thee, and up and get thee to Ai.

Nevertheless the spoil and cattle thereof, ye shall take unto yourselves. But lay a watch unto the town on the backside thereof."

²² And the other issued out of the city against them. And so were they in the midst of Israel, these being on the one side of them, and the rest on the other. And they laid upon them, so that they let none either remain or escape. ²³ And the king of Ai they took alive and brought him to Joshua. ²⁴ And when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabiters of Ai in the fields and in the wilderness by which they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were wasted, then all Israel returned unto Ai and smote it with the edge of the sword.

²⁴ And when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabiters of Ai in the fields and in the wilderness by which they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were wasted, then all Israel returned unto Ai and smote it with the edge of the sword. ²⁵ And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai. ²⁶ For Joshua plucked not his hand back again which he stretched out with the spear, until they had utterly destroyed all the inhabiters of Ai. ²⁷ Only the cattle and the spoil of the said city, Israel took unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD, which he commanded Joshua.

²⁷ Only the cattle and the spoil of the said city, Israel took unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD, which he commanded Joshua. ²⁸ And Joshua set Ai on fire and made it a heap forever and a wilderness, even unto this day. ²⁹ And the king of Ai he hanged on tree, until evening. And as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded and they took the carcass down off the tree, and cast it in the entering of the gate of the city, and cast thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.

²⁹ And the king of Ai he hanged on tree, until evening. And as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded and they took the carcass down off the tree, and cast it in the entering of the gate of the city, and cast thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.

¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to save their lives: and the lords of the congregation sware unto them. ¹⁶ But three days after they had made peace with them, they heard that they were neighbours unto them, and that they dwelt among them. ¹⁷ For the children of Israel took their journey and came unto their cities the third day: and their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth and Kiriathjearim. ¹⁸ And the children of Israel slew them not, because the lords of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And therefore all the multitude murmured against the lords. ¹⁹ But all the lords said unto all the congregation, "We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel, and therefore we may not hurt them. ²⁰ But this we will do to them and let them live: and so shall no wrath be upon us because of the oath which we sware unto them." ²¹ And the lords said unto them, "Let them live, that they may be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation," as the lords said unto them. ²² Then Joshua sent for them, and talked with them, and said, "Wherefore have ye beguiled us and yet ye dwell among us? ²³ And now therefore cursed be you, and there shall not cease to be of you, bondmen and hewers of wood and drawers of water unto the house of my God." ²⁴ And they answered Joshua and said, "It was told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabiters thereof out of your sight, and therefore we were exceeding sore afraid of our lives because of you.

²⁴ And they answered Joshua and said, "It was told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabiters thereof out of your sight, and therefore we were exceeding sore afraid of our lives because of you.

²⁴ And they answered Joshua and said, "It was told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabiters thereof out of your sight, and therefore we were exceeding sore afraid of our lives because of you. ²⁵ And now, behold, we are in thine hand; as it seemeth good and right in thine eyes to do unto us, so do."

²⁵ And now, behold, we are in thine hand; as it seemeth good and right in thine eyes to do unto us, so do." ²⁶ And he dealt as it is said with them, and rid them out of the hands of the children of Israel, that they slew them not. ²⁷ And Joshua made them that same day hewers of wood and drawers of water unto the congregation and unto the altar of God unto this day, in the place which God should choose.

¹ And when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had destroyed it, and how that as he had done to Jericho and her king, even so he had done to Ai and her king, and how the inhabiters of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and did remain among them: ² then they feared exceedingly, for Gibeon was a great city, as any city of the kingdom, and thereto greater than Ai, and all her men were mighty. ³ Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

⁵ Then the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon gathered themselves together, both they and all their hosts and went up and besieged Gibeon, and made war against it. ⁶ But the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua unto the host to Gilgal, saying, "Withdraw not thy hands from thy servants, but come up to us: for all the kings of the Amorites which dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us."

¹⁰ And the LORD turmoiled them before Israel and slew of them a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron and slew them till they came to Azekah and Makkedah. ¹¹ And as they fled from Israel, even in the going down to Bethhoron, the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them, until they came unto Azekah, that they died. And there were more that died with hailstones, than the children of Israel slew with the sword. ¹² Then spake Joshua unto the LORD, the day when the LORD delivered the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of all Israel, "Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon." ¹³ And the sun abode, and the moon stood still, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the righteous, how that the sun abode in the midst of heaven and hasted not to go down by the space of a whole day? ¹⁴ And there was no day like that, before it, or after it, that the LORD obeyed the voice of a man: and all because the LORD fought for Israel. ¹⁵ And Joshua returned and all Israel with him, unto the host to Gilgal:

²⁰ And when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a great slaughter till they were wasted, yet there remained a certain of them, which entered into walled cities.

²² Then said Joshua, "Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out these five kings unto me out of the cave."

²⁸ And that same day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof also, and utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein, and let nought remain. And he did to the king of Makkedah, as he did to the king of Jericho.

³⁰ And the LORD delivered it also into their hands, with the king also, and smote it with the edge of the sword and all the souls that were therein, and let nought remain in it, and did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.

³² And the LORD delivered, into the hands of Israel, Lachish; that they took it the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he did to Libnah. ³³ Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish: But Joshua smote him and his people, until he left him nought remaining.

³⁵ and took it the same day, and smote it with the edge of the sword and all the souls that were therein: and utterly destroyed them the same day, according to all that he did to Lachish.

³⁷ and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the towns that pertained to it, and all the souls that were therein, so that they left nought remaining: but in all things as they did to Eglon, so they destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.

³⁹ and took it, and the king thereof and all the towns that pertained thereto. And smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein, and let nought remain. And as he did to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and the king thereof, and as he did to Libnah and her king. ⁴⁰ And Joshua smote all the hill countries and the south countries, and the valleys, and the springs of water, with all their kings and let nought remain, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.

⁴² And all those kings and their land, Joshua took at one time: because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel. ⁴³ And then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the host to Gilgal.

⁶ And the LORD said unto Joshua, "Be not afraid of them: for tomorrow about this time I will deliver them all slain, before all Israel: and thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire."

⁸ And the LORD delivered them into the hands of Israel: and they smote them and chased them, into great Sidon, and unto the hot waters, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward: and smote them until they had none remaining of them.

¹⁶ And so Joshua took all the land, the hills and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and the plains, and the mountain of Israel, with the low country of the same,

¹⁹ for there was no city that made peace with the children of Israel, save those Hittites that inhabited Gibeon. All other they took with battle, ²⁰ for it came of the LORD to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle: even to destroy them utterly, that they should have no mercy, but to bring them to naught. As the LORD commanded Moses.

⁸ in the upper land, and nether land, in plains, and springs of water, in the wilderness, and south country the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perezites, the Hivites and the Jebusites:

¹⁰ The king of Jerusalem; The king of Hebron; ¹¹ The king of Jarmuth; the king of Lachish;

¹¹ The king of Jarmuth; the king of Lachish; ¹² The king of Eglon; The king of Gezer;

¹² The king of Eglon; The king of Gezer; ¹³ The king of Debir; The king of Geder;

¹³ The king of Debir; The king of Geder;

¹⁵ The king of Libnah; The king of Adullam; ¹⁶ The king of Makkedah; The king of Bethel;

⁶ And the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, "Thou knowest what the LORD said unto Moses the man of God, about me and thee in Kadesh Barnea. ⁷ Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. And I brought them word again even as I thought in mine heart.

¹³ And Joshua blessed Caleb the son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron to inherit. ¹⁴ And Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, unto this day: because he followed the LORD God of Israel perpetually. ¹⁵ And the name of Hebron was called in old time, Kiriatharba, which was a huge man among the Anakims. And the land ceased from war.

¹³ And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh was there a part given among the children of Judah, by the mouth of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Kiriatharba father of Anak which city is called Hebron.

¹⁵ And he went up thence, to the inhabiters of Debir, whose name in the old time was Kiriathsepher.

²¹ And the cities of the tribe of the children of Judah in all quarters, toward the coasts of Edom southward, were: Kabzeel, Eder, and Jagur; ²² Kinah, Dimonah, and Adadah; ²³ Kadesh, Hazor, and Ithnan; ²⁴ Ziph, Telem, and Bealoth; ²⁵ Hazor Hadattah, and Keriothhezron, otherwise called Hazor; ²⁶ Amam, Shema, and Moladah; ²⁷ Hazargaddah, Heshmon, and Bethpelet; ²⁸ Hazarshual, Beersheba, and Bazjothjah; ²⁹ Baalah, Iim, and Ezem; ³⁰ Eltolad, Chesil, and Hormah; ³¹ Ziklag, Madmannah, and Sansannah; ³² Lebaoth, Shilhim, Ain, and Rimmon: all these cities are twenty and nine with their villages. ³³ And in the low country they had Eshtaol, Zorah, and Ashnah; ³⁴ Zanoah, Engannim, Tappuah and Enam; ³⁵ Jarmuth, Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah;

³⁵ Jarmuth, Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah;

³⁵ Jarmuth, Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah; ³⁶ Shaaraim, Adithaim, Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages.

³⁶ Shaaraim, Adithaim, Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages. ³⁷ Zenan, Hadashah, and Migdalgad;

³⁷ Zenan, Hadashah, and Migdalgad; ³⁸ Dilean, Mizpeh, and Joktheel;

³⁸ Dilean, Mizpeh, and Joktheel; ³⁹ Lachish, Bozkath, and Eglon;

³⁹ Lachish, Bozkath, and Eglon;

³⁹ Lachish, Bozkath, and Eglon; ⁴⁰ Cabbon, Lahmam, and Chitlish; ⁴¹ Gederoth, Bethdagon, Naamah and Makkedah: sixteen cities with their villages.

⁴¹ Gederoth, Bethdagon, Naamah and Makkedah: sixteen cities with their villages. ⁴² Libnah, Ether, and Ashan;

⁴² Libnah, Ether, and Ashan; ⁴³ Iphtah, Ashnah, and Nezib; ⁴⁴ Keilah, Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages. ⁴⁵ Ekron with their towns and villages. ⁴⁶ And from Ekron out to the sea, all that lieth about Ashdod with their villages. ⁴⁷ Ashdod with her towns and villages. Gaza with her towns and villages, even unto the river of Egypt: and the great sea with the coasts that lie thereon. ⁴⁸ And in the mountains, they had Shamir, Jattir, and Socoh; ⁴⁹ Dannah, and Kiriathsannah, which is Debir;

⁴⁹ Dannah, and Kiriathsannah, which is Debir; ⁵⁰ Anab, Eshtemoh, and Anim; ⁵¹ Goshen, Holon, and Giloh: eleven cities with their villages.

⁵¹ Goshen, Holon, and Giloh: eleven cities with their villages. ⁵² Arab, Dumah, and Eshan; ⁵³ Janim, Bethtappuah and Aphekah; ⁵⁴ Humtah, and Kiriatharba, which is Hebron, and Zior: nine cities with their villages.

⁵⁴ Humtah, and Kiriatharba, which is Hebron, and Zior: nine cities with their villages. ⁵⁵ Maon, Carmel, Ziph, and Juttah; ⁵⁶ Jezreel, Jokdeam, and Zanoah; ⁵⁷ Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah: ten cities with their villages. ⁵⁸ Halhul Bethzur, and Gedor; ⁵⁹ Maarath, Bethanoth, and Eltekon: Six cities with their villages. ⁶⁰ Kiriathbaal, which is Kiriathjearim, and Harabbah: Two cities with their villages. ⁶¹ And in the wilderness they had Betharabah, Middin and Secacah; ⁶² Nibshan, the city of salt, and Engedi: Six cities with their villages. ⁶³ But the Jebusites that were the inhabiters of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not cast out. Wherefore the Jebusites dwell among the children of Judah unto this day.

⁶³ But the Jebusites that were the inhabiters of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not cast out. Wherefore the Jebusites dwell among the children of Judah unto this day.

³ and goeth down westward, even unto the coasts of Japhleti, and unto the coasts of Bethhoron the nether, and so to Gezer, and the ends of their coasts came to the sea.

⁵ And the children of Ephraim took their coasts by kindreds. And the coasts of their inheritance eastward were, Atarothaddar, even unto Bethhoron the upper,

¹⁰ Notwithstanding, they drave not out the Cananites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Cananites dwelt among the Ephraimites unto this day, and pay tribute.

²¹ And these are the cities of the tribes of the children of Benjamin in their kindreds: Jericho, Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz;

²⁸ Zela, Haeleph, and the city of the Jebusites, which is Jerusalem; Gibeah, and Kiriathjearim: Fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin in their kindreds.

⁴⁰ And the seventh lot fell to the tribe of Dan by their kindreds. ⁴¹ And the coasts of their inheritance was Zorah, Eshtaol, Irshemesh, ⁴² Shaalabbin, Aijalon and Ithlah;

⁴² Shaalabbin, Aijalon and Ithlah; ⁴³ Elon, Timnah and Ekron; ⁴⁴ Eltekeh, Gibbethon and Baalath; ⁴⁵ Jehud, Beneberak and Gathrimmon; ⁴⁶ Mejarkon and Rakkon with the country that lieth before Joppa. ⁴⁷ And the coasts of the children of Dan went out from beyond them. For the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and conquered it, and dwelt therein and called it Dan, after the name of Dan their father. ⁴⁸ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan in their kindreds: these cities with their villages.

¹¹ And they gave them Kiriatharba of the father of Anak, which is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs of the same round about it.

¹³ And thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest the franchised cities of the slayer, Hebron with her suburbs, and Libnah with her suburbs;

¹⁵ and Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs,

²¹ And they gave them the free city of the slayer: Shechem with her suburbs, in mount Ephraim; and Gezer with her suburbs; ²² and Kibzaim with her suburbs; Bethhoron with her suburbs: Four cities.

³ And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations before your faces: for the LORD your God he fought for you.

¹⁰ And Judah went unto the Cananites that dwelt in Hebron, which before time was called Kiriatharba. And slew Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai. ¹¹ And from thence they went to the inhabiters of Debir, whose name in old time was called Kiriathsepher. ¹² And Caleb said, "He that smiteth Kiriathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife." ¹³ And Othniel the son of Kenaz Caleb's younger brother took it: to whom he gave Achsah his daughter to wife, ¹⁴ and as they went she counseled him to ask of her father a field. And then she lighted off her ass, and Caleb said unto her, "What aileth thee?" ¹⁵ She said unto him, "Give me a blessing, for thou hast given me a southward and a dry land. Give me also springs of water." And Caleb gave her springs both above and beneath.

²⁹ In like manner Ephraim expelled not the Cananites that dwelt in Gezer, but the Cananites dwelt still in Gezer among them.

¹⁴ Then said Deborah unto Barak, "Up, for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hands: for the LORD is gone out before thee." And so Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. ¹⁵ But the LORD trounced Sisera and all his chariots and all his host with the edge of the sword, before Barak. And Sisera lighted down off his chariot and fled afoot.

¹⁵ But the LORD trounced Sisera and all his chariots and all his host with the edge of the sword, before Barak. And Sisera lighted down off his chariot and fled afoot.

² "Praise the LORD in them that were willing, while others sat still in Israel.

²⁰ From heaven came battle: for the stars, being in their course, fought against Sisera.

² And when the hand of the Midianites was sore upon Israel, the children of Israel made them dens in the mountains and caves and strongholds.

²⁰ And he said unto Jether his eldest son, "Up, and slay them." But the lad drew not his sword, for he feared, because he was yet young. ²¹ Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise thou and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength." And Gideon arose and slew them: and he took away the chains that were on their camels' necks.

⁴⁶ And when all the men of the town of Shechem heard that, they entered into a stronghold of the house of their god Baalberith. ⁴⁷ And when it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together, ⁴⁸ he gat him to mount Zalmon, both he and all that were with him, and took axes with him and cut down an arm of a tree, and took it up, and put it on his shoulder, and said unto the folk that were with him, "Whatsoever ye see me do: speed yourselves and do likewise." ⁴⁹ And all the people cut down also every man a bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them into the hold, and set the hold a fire upon them: so that all the men of the tower of Shechem were slain, upon a thousand persons what of men and women together.

¹² and he died and was buried in Aijalon, in the country of Zebulun.

¹ Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an whore, and went in unto her.

²¹ But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes; and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters. And he was made to grind in the prison house.

²⁸ And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, "My Lord Jehovah think upon me, and strengthen me at this time only, O God, that I may be avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes."

¹⁷ These are the golden arses with hemorrhoids which the Philistines gave to amends for a trespass offering to the LORD: for Ashdod one; for Gaza one; for Ashkelon one; for Gath one; and for Ekron one.

¹⁰ And as Samuel offered the burnt offering, the Philistines came to fight against Israel. But the LORD thundered a great thunder the same day upon the Philistines, and turmoiled them, that they were beaten before Israel. ¹¹ And the men of Israel issued out of Mizpeh and pursued the Philistines and slew them, until they came under Bethcar. ¹² And then Samuel took a stone and pitched it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name thereof the stone of help, saying, "Thus far hath the LORD helped us."

⁹ And they said unto the messengers that came, "So say unto the men of Jabesh in Gilead: 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun be hot, ye shall have help.'" And the messengers came and showed the men of Jabesh, and they were glad. ¹⁰ And then the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will come out unto you, that ye may do with us all that pleaseth you." ¹¹ And on the morrow Saul put the people in three parts. And they came in upon the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites, until the heat of the day. And they that remained, scattered: so that two of them were not left together.

¹⁴ Then said Samuel unto the people, "Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there."

⁶ And when the men of Israel saw themselves in a strait, and that the people were encumbered, they hid themselves in caves, in privy holes, in rocks, dens and pits.

¹⁸ and another company turned the way to Bethhoron; and the third company turned to the way of the coast that turneth to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.

³² Then said Samuel, "Bring ye hither to me, Agag the king of the Amalekites." And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, "Truly the bitterness of death cometh on." ³³ And Samuel said, "As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among other women." And so Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

³⁷ And David spake moreover, "The LORD that delivered me out of the hands of the Lion and out of the hands of the Bear, he shall deliver me also out of the hands of the Philistine." Then said Saul to David, "Go, and the LORD be with thee."

³ And he came to the flocks of the sheep by a wayside where was a cave. And Saul went in to cover his feet. And David and his men sat along by the sides of the cave.

⁸ And when Saul was up out of the cave and gone away, David arose and went out of the cave and cried after Saul, saying, "My lord king!" And Saul looked behind him. And David stooped to the earth and bowed himself,

⁵ And David said unto Achish, "If I have found grace in thine eyes, let me have a place in some town in the fields, that I may dwell there. For what should thy servant dwell in the head city of the kingdom with thee?"

¹⁸ and bade to teach the children of Israel the staves thereof. And behold, it is written in the book of the righteous:

¹¹ And the time which David reigned in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.

¹ Then came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and said, "See, we are thy bones and thy flesh. ² And thereto in time past when Saul was king over us, thou leddest Israel in and out. And the LORD hath said to thee, 'Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.'" ³ And so all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron. And king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD. And they anointed David king over Israel. ⁴ David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. ⁵ In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months. And in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.

²⁶ And as Joab fought against Rabbah, the city of the children of Ammon, he took the king's Tower,

⁹ And the king said, "Go in peace." And so he arose and went to Hebron. ¹⁰ Then Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as ye hear the voice of the trumpet blow, say, 'Absalom reigneth king in Hebron.'"

¹³ Moreover, if he take a town then shall all the men of Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one stone found upon another."

¹⁷ And they took Absalom and cast him into a great pit that was in the wood, and cast a mighty great heap of stones upon him. And all Israel fled every man to his tent.

⁶ Wherefore the king said to Abishai, "Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri be worse to us than Absalom. Take thou therefore thy lord's servants and follow after him: lest he get him walled cities and escape us."

⁶ Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, that we may hang them up unto the LORD, in Gibeah of Saul the LORD's elect." And David said, "I will give them you."

⁹ and delivered them unto the hands of the Gibeonites, which hanged them in the hill before the LORD. And they fell all seven together in the first days of harvest: even in the beginning of barley harvest.

⁵ And in Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night. And God said, "Ask what I shall give thee."

¹⁵ And this is the sum of the tribute, which king Solomon raised to build the house of the LORD and his own house, and Mello and the walls of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer. ¹⁶ For Pharaoh, king of Egypt, went up and took Gezer and burnt it with fire, and slew the Cananites that dwelt in the city, and gave it for a present unto his daughter that was Solomon's wife. ¹⁷ And Solomon built Gezer and Bethhoron the nether;

²⁹ And as soon as he was king, he slew all the house of Jeroboam and left him nought that breathed, until he had put him clean out, agreeing unto the saying of the LORD which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

²⁴ Then she saddled an ass and said to the lad, "Lead away, and make me not cease riding, until I bid thee."

²² And so the Edomites slipped away from under the hand of Judah unto this day. And then Libnah slipped away too, even that same time.

¹¹ And so Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab, in Jezreel, and all that were great with him, and his companions and his priests, until he had left him nought remaining.

¹⁴ Whereupon Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, "I have offended. But depart from me, and what thou puttest on me that I will bear." And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

¹⁷ And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh, from Lachish, to king Hezekiah with a great Host to Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem, and went and stood by the conduit of the uppermost pool, which is in the way to the fuller's field,

⁸ And Rabshakeh went back again and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah: for he had heard how that he was departed from Lachish.

¹⁰ And Hezekiah said, "It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees. Therefore I will not that: but let the shadow go backward ten degrees." ¹¹ And Isaiah the Prophet called to the LORD, and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward by which it had gone down, in the dial of Ahaz.

⁶⁷ In which tribe they gave unto them the cities of Refuge: Shechem in mount Ephraim with her suburbs, and Gezer with her suburbs,

²³ And this is the number of the heads prepared to battle, that came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the mouth of the LORD.

²⁸ And Zadok, a young man of great power, had his father's household with Captains, twenty two.

⁴ After that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines. At which time Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai that was of the children of Rephaim, and they were subdued.

⁹ Adoraim, Lachish and Azekah;

¹⁷ And Abijah and his people slew a great slaughter of them: so that there were stricken down dead of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

¹² And the LORD smote the black Moors before Asa and Judah, that they fled.

²³ And when inquisition was made, it was found so. And they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the Chronicles before the king.

⁹ And Harbona, one of the chamberlains that stood before the king, said, "Behold, there standeth a gallows in Haman's house fifty cubits high, which he had made for Mordecai, that spake good for the king." The king said, "Hang him thereon." ¹⁰ So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had made for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

¹³ The sum of the writing was, how there was a commandment given in all lands to be published unto all the people, that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

⁷ He commandeth the sun, and it riseth not: he closeth up the stars, as it were under a signet.

¹⁰ He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am undone: My hope hath he taken away from me, as it were a tree plucked up by the root.

³⁰ that the wicked is kept unto the day of destruction, and that the ungodly shall be brought forth in the day of wrath.

²⁶ Did I ever greatly regard the rising of the sun? Or, had I the going down of the moon in great reputation? ²⁷ Hath my heart meddled privily with any deceit? Or, did I ever kiss mine own hand?

⁸ Desire of me, and I shall give thee the Heathen for thine inheritance; and the uttermost parts of the world for thy possession. ⁹ Thou shalt bruise them with a rod of iron, and break them in pieces like a potter's vessel." ¹⁰ Be wise now therefore, O ye kings; be warned, ye that are judges of the earth. ¹¹ Serve the LORD in fear, and rejoice unto him in reverence. ¹² Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and so ye perish from the right way. For his wrath shall be kindled shortly: blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

¹⁷ The wicked must be turned unto hell, and all the people that forget God.

⁶ Upon the ungodly he shall rain snares, fire, brimstone, storm and tempest: this shall be their portion to drink.

¹² At the brightness of his presence, his clouds removed hailstones and coals of fire. {TYNDALE: Of the brightness that was before him, coals were set on fire.} ¹³ The LORD also thundered out of the heaven, and the highest gave his thunder, with hailstones and coals of fire. {TYNDALE: The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most high put out his voice.} ¹⁴ He sent out his arrows and scattered them, he cast forth lightnings, and destroyed them. {TYNDALE: And he shot arrows and scattered them, and hurled lightning and turmoiled them.}

¹⁴ He sent out his arrows and scattered them, he cast forth lightnings, and destroyed them. {TYNDALE: And he shot arrows and scattered them, and hurled lightning and turmoiled them.}

³⁷ I will follow upon mine enemies, and overtake them; neither will I turn again till I have destroyed them. {TYNDALE: I followed mine enemies and destroyed them, and turned not again until I had consumed them.} ³⁸ I will smite them, that they shall not be able to stand, but fall under my feet. {TYNDALE: I wasted them and so clouted them, that they could not arise: but fell under my feet.} ³⁹ Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; thou hast thrown them all down under me, that rose up against me. {TYNDALE: And thou compassedest me about with might to battle, and madest them that rose against me to stoop under me.} ⁴⁰ Thou hast made mine enemies also to turn their backs upon me, and I shall destroy them that hate me. {TYNDALE: And thou madest mine enemies to turn their backs to me, and them that hated me, and I destroyed them.}

⁴⁰ Thou hast made mine enemies also to turn their backs upon me, and I shall destroy them that hate me. {TYNDALE: And thou madest mine enemies to turn their backs to me, and them that hated me, and I destroyed them.} ⁴¹ They shall cry, but there shall be none to help them: Yea, even unto the LORD shall they cry, but he shall hear them not. {TYNDALE: They looked for help, but none came to save them: unto the LORD they cried, but he heard them not.}

⁴ Their sound is gone out into all lands, and their words in to the ends of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

⁸ All thine enemies shall feel thine hand; thy righthand shall find out them that hate thee. ⁹ Thou shalt make them like a fiery oven in the time of thy wrath; the LORD shall destroy them in his displeasure, and the fire shall consume them.

¹ {A Psalm of David} The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom then should I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid? ² When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

³ For they got not the land in possession through their own sword, neither was it their own arm that helped them — But thy righthand, thine arm and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

³ For they got not the land in possession through their own sword, neither was it their own arm that helped them — But thy righthand, thine arm and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. ⁴ Thou art my King, O God; send help unto Jacob. ⁵ Through thee will we overthrow our enemies, and in thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. ⁶ For I will not trust in my bow; it is not my sword that shall help me. ⁷ But it is thou that savest us from our enemies, and puttest them to confusion that hate us. ⁸ We make our boast of God all day long, and will praise thy Name forever. Selah.

¹ {To the Chanter, a song of the children of Korah upon Alamoth} God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

⁷ The LORD of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

¹¹ The LORD of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

⁴ For lo, the kings of the earth were gathered, and gone by together. ⁵ They marveled, to see such things: they were astonished, and suddenly cast down. ⁶ Fear came there upon them, and sorrow as upon a woman in her travail.

⁹ These also that seek the hurt of my soul, they shall go under the earth.

¹⁶ The day is thine. The night is thine. Thou hast prepared the lights and the sun.

¹⁶ The day is thine. The night is thine. Thou hast prepared the lights and the sun. ¹⁷ Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; thou hast made both summer and winter.

¹¹ Therefore will I remember the works of the LORD, and call to mind thy wonders of old time.

¹⁷ The thick clouds poured out water, the air thundered, and thine arrows went abroad. ¹⁸ The voice of thy thunder was heard round about; the lightnings shone upon the ground. The earth was moved, and shook withal.

⁵⁵ He cast out the heathen before them, caused their land to be divided among them for a heritage, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

³ Turn us again, O God: show the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.

¹³ Thou shalt go upon the Lion and Adder, the young Lion and the Dragon shalt thou tread under thy feet.

⁴⁰ though he suffer them to be evil-entreated through tyrants, or let them wander out of the way in the wilderness,

¹ {A Psalm of David} The LORD said unto my LORD, "Sit thou on my righthand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool."

⁵ The LORD upon thy righthand shall smite even kings in the day of his wrath.

⁶ The LORD is on my side; I will not fear what man doeth unto me.

² The hills stand about Jerusalem; even so standeth the LORD round about his people, from this time forth for evermore.

⁷ Which hath made great lights! For his mercy endureth forever. ⁸ The sun to rule the day! For his mercy endureth forever. ⁹ The moon and the stars to govern the night! For his mercy endureth forever.

⁷ Whither shall I go then from thy spirit? Or, whither shall I flee from thy presence? ⁸ If I climb up into heaven, thou art there; if I go down to hell, thou art there also. ⁹ If I take the wings of the morning, and remain in the uttermost part of the sea, ¹⁰ even there also shall thy hand lead me, and thy righthand shall hold me.

³ Praise him sun and moon; praise him all ye stars and light.

⁸ to bind their kings in chains, and their nobles with links of iron, ⁹ that they may be avenged of them, as it is written. Such honour have all his saints. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

²⁶ Therefore shall I also laugh in your destruction, and mock you, when the thing that ye fear cometh upon you: ²⁷ even when the thing that ye be afraid of, falleth in suddenly like a storm, and your misery like a tempest: yea, when trouble and heaviness cometh upon you.

²⁴ The thing that the ungodly are afraid of, shall come upon them; but the righteous shall have their desire.

²⁹ Seest thou not, that they which be diligent in their business stand before kings, and not among the simple people?

¹¹ Deliver them that go unto death, and are led away to be slain, and be not negligent therein. ¹² If thou wilt say, "I knew not of it"; Thinkest thou that he which made the hearts, doth not consider it? And that he which regardeth thy soul, seeth it not? Shall not he recompense every man according to his works?

¹⁰ Whatsoever thou takest in hand to do, that do with all thy power: for among the dead, where thou goest unto, there is neither work, counsel, knowledge nor wisdom.

¹⁰ And therefore get thee soon into some rock, and hide thee in the ground for the fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty: ¹¹ which casteth down the high looks of presumptuous persons, and bringeth low the pride of man, and the LORD only shall be exalted in that day. ¹² For the day of the LORD of Hosts shall go over all pride and presumption, upon all them that exalt themselves, and shall bring them all down:

¹⁹ Men shall creep into holes of stone, and into caves of the earth, for the fear of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty: what time as he shall arise to shake the earth. ²⁰ Then, then shall man cast away his gods of silver and gold - which he nevertheless had made to honour them - unto moles and bats ²¹ that he may the better creep into the caves and rocks, and into the cliffs of hard stones, from the sight of the fearful judge and from the glory of his Majesty. ²² Fear not, then, any man whose breath is in his nostrils - for what is he?

⁹ Go together ye people, and gather you, hearken to all ye of far countries.

¹¹ Thy gates shall stand open still both day and night, and never be shut: that the house of the Gentiles may come, and that their kings may be brought unto thee. ¹² or every people and kingdom that serveth not thee, shall perish, and be destroyed with the sword.

²⁰ Thy Sun shall never go down, and thy Moon shall not be taken away, for the LORD himself shall be thine everlasting light, and thy sorrowful days shall be rewarded thee.

⁷ And shall not God avenge his elect, which cry night and day unto him? Yea though he defer them:

²⁷ Moreover, those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.'"

¹⁷ notwithstanding the Lord assisted me, and strengthed me, that by me the preaching should be fulfilled to the utmost and that all the gentiles should hear.

¹² And the fourth angel blew, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of stars: so that the third part of them was darkened. And the day was smitten that the third part of it should not shine, and likewise the night.

¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen, in his temple, the ark of his testament: and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunderings and earthquake, and much hail.
