约书亚记 10
Chinese New Version (Simplified)

五王联合攻打基遍

10 耶路撒冷王亚多尼．洗德听见约书亚占领了艾城，把城完全毁灭，约书亚怎样对待耶利哥和耶利哥的王，也照样对待艾城和艾城的王；又听见基遍的居民已经与以色列人议和，并可以住在这地， 2 他们就非常惧怕。因为基遍是大城，好象一座王城；又因为基遍比艾城大，城里所有的人都是勇士。 3 因此，耶路撒冷王亚多尼．洗德派人到希伯仑王何咸、耶末王毘兰、拉吉王雅非亚和伊矶伦王底璧那里去，对他们说： 4 “求你们上我这里来帮助我，我们好攻打基遍，因为基遍已经与约书亚和以色列人议和了。” 5 于是亚摩利人的那五个王，就是耶路撒冷王、希伯仑王、耶末王、拉吉王和伊矶伦王，联合起来，带着他们所有的军队上去，在基遍的对面安营，攻打基遍。

约书亚击败五王

6 基遍人就派人到吉甲营中约书亚那里去，说：“不可丢弃你的仆人，求你快快上我们这里来拯救我们、帮助我们；因为住在山地的亚摩利人所有的王都集合起来攻击我们。” 7 于是约书亚和所有能作战的人，以及所有英勇的战士，都一起从吉甲上去。 8 耶和华对约书亚说：“你不要怕他们，因为我已经把他们交在你手里了；他们必没有一人能在你面前站立得住。” 9 于是约书亚乘夜从吉甲上去，突然来到他们那里。 10 耶和华使他们在以色列人面前溃乱，约书亚在基遍大大地击杀他们，沿着伯．和仑的上坡路追赶他们，击打他们，直到亚西加和玛基大。 11 他们从以色列人面前逃跑，正在下伯．和仑斜坡的时候，耶和华从天上降大冰雹在他们身上，一直到亚西加，打死他们；被冰雹打死的，比以色列人用刀杀死的还多。

日月停止

12 那时，就是耶和华把亚摩利人交给以色列人的时候，约书亚在以色列人面前对耶和华说：

“太阳啊，停在基遍；

月亮啊，停在亚雅仑谷。”

13 于是太阳停住，月亮站住，直到以色列人在仇敌的身上报了仇。这事不是写在《雅煞珥书》上吗？太阳在天空中站住，不急速下落，约有一整天。 14 在这日以前或这日以后，耶和华听人的祷告，没有像这日一样的，因为耶和华为以色列作战。 15 后来，约书亚和众以色列人回到吉甲营那里去。

生擒五王就地正法

16 那五个王逃跑了，躲藏在玛基大洞里。 17 有人告诉约书亚，说：“那五个王已经找到了，都躲藏在玛基大洞里。” 18 约书亚说：“你们把几块大石头辊到洞口那里去，并派人到洞口去看守他们。 19 你们却不可站着，要追赶你们的仇敌，从后面击杀他们，不可让他们逃进自己的城中，因为耶和华你们的　神已经把他们交在你们的手里了。” 20 约书亚和以色列人把他们杀得惨败，直到把他们灭绝为止，那些逃脱的人都逃进设防的城里； 21 众以色列人都平平安安回到玛基大营中约书亚那里。没有人敢说话攻击以色列人。

22 约书亚说：“你们打开洞口，把那五个王从洞里拉出来，带到我这里来。” 23 众人就照着执行，他们把那五个王，就是耶路撒冷王、希伯仑王、耶末王、拉吉王和伊矶伦王，从洞里拉出来，带到约书亚那里去。 24 众人把那五个王带到约书亚那里去的时候，约书亚把所有的以色列人都召了来，对那些与他同去作战的军长说：“你们走前来，把脚踏在这些王的颈项上。”他们就走前来，把脚踏在那些王的颈项上。 25 约书亚对他们说：“你们不要惧怕，不要惊慌；总要坚强勇敢，因为耶和华必这样对待你们要攻打的所有仇敌。” 26 随后，约书亚把那五个王杀死，悬在五棵树上；他们就悬在树上，直到晚上。 27 到了日落的时候，约书亚吩咐人把他们从树上取下来，丢在他们躲藏过的洞里，把几块大石头放在洞口；这些石头一直存到今日。

约书亚攻取南部各城

28 在那天，约书亚占领了玛基大，用刀击杀了那城的人和那城的王，把城中所有的人完全毁灭，不容一人逃脱；他对待玛基大王就像对待耶利哥王一样。

29 约书亚和跟他在一起的众以色列人从玛基大往立拿去，攻打立拿。 30 耶和华把立拿和立拿的王也交在以色列人手里，约书亚用刀攻击那城，杀了城里所有的人，不容一人逃脱；他对待立拿王就像对待耶利哥王一样。

31 约书亚和跟他在一起的众以色列人从立拿往拉吉去，对着拉吉安营，攻打这城。 32 耶和华把拉吉交在以色列人手里，第二天约书亚就占领了拉吉，用刀攻击那城，杀了城中所有的人，跟他对立拿所行的一切一样。

33 那时，基色王荷兰上来帮助拉吉，约书亚就把他和他的人民都击杀了，没有留下一人。

34 约书亚和与他在一起的众以色列人从拉吉往伊矶伦去，对着伊矶伦安营，攻打这城。 35 那一天，他们占领了这城，用刀攻击那城，杀了城中所有的人；那一天约书亚把他们完全毁灭，跟他对拉吉所行的一切一样。

36 约书亚和与他在一起的众以色列人从伊矶伦上希伯仑去，攻打这城。 37 他们占领了这城，用刀攻击这城，杀了这城的王，又攻击属于这城的城镇，杀了城中所有的人，不容一人逃脱，跟他对伊矶伦所行的一切一样，把这城和城中所有的人完全毁灭。

38 约书亚和与他在一起的众以色列人回到了底璧，攻打这城。 39 约书亚占领了这城，抓住这城的王，又占领了属于这城的一切城镇；以色列人用刀击杀他们，把城中所有的人都毁灭了；约书亚不容一人逃脱，他怎样对待希伯仑，也照样对待底璧和底璧的王；也好象他对待立拿和立拿的王一样。

40 这样，约书亚击杀了全地的人，就是山地、南地、高原和山坡的人，以及那些地方所有的王，不容一人逃脱；约书亚照着耶和华以色列的　神的吩咐，把有气息的都完全毁灭了。 41 约书亚从加低斯．巴尼亚击杀他们，直到迦萨，又从歌珊全地击杀他们，直到基遍。 42 约书亚在这一次战役中击败了这些王和占领了他们的地，是因为耶和华以色列的　神为以色列作战。 43 于是约书亚和与他在一起的众以色列人回到吉甲营中。

Joshua 10
New English Translation

Israel Defeats an Amorite Coalition

10 Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem, heard how Joshua captured Ai and annihilated it and its king as he did Jericho and its king.[a] He also heard how[b] the people of Gibeon made peace with Israel and lived among them. 2 All Jerusalem was terrified[c] because Gibeon was a large city, like one of the royal cities. It was larger than Ai and all its men were warriors. 3 So King Adoni-Zedek of Jerusalem sent this message to King Hoham of Hebron, King Piram of Jarmuth, King Japhia of Lachish, and King Debir of Eglon: 4 “Come to my aid[d] so we can attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.” 5 So the five Amorite kings (the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon) and all their troops gathered together and advanced. They deployed their troops and fought against Gibeon.[e]

6 The men of Gibeon sent this message to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, “Do not abandon[f] your subjects![g] Come up here quickly and rescue us! Help us! For all the Amorite kings living in the hill country are attacking us.”[h] 7 So Joshua and his whole army, including the bravest warriors, marched up from Gilgal.[i] 8 The Lord told Joshua, “Don’t be afraid of them, for I am handing them over to you.[j] Not one of them can resist you.”[k] 9 Joshua attacked them by surprise after marching all night from Gilgal.[l] 10 The Lord routed[m] them before Israel. Israel[n] thoroughly defeated them[o] at Gibeon. They chased them up the road to the pass[p] of Beth Horon and struck them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah. 11 As they fled from Israel on the slope leading down from[q] Beth Horon, the Lord threw down on them large hailstones from the sky,[r] all the way to Azekah. They died—in fact, more died from the hailstones than the Israelites killed with the sword.

12 The day the Lord delivered the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua prayed to the Lord before Israel:[s]

“O sun, stand still over Gibeon;
O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon!”

13 The sun stood still and the moon stood motionless while the nation took vengeance on its enemies. The event is recorded in the Scroll of the Upright One.[t] The sun stood motionless in the middle of the sky and did not set for about a full day.[u] 14 There has not been a day like it before or since. The Lord listened to a human being, for the Lord fought for Israel! 15 Then Joshua and all Israel returned to the camp at Gilgal.

16 The five Amorite kings[v] ran away and hid in the cave at Makkedah. 17 Joshua was told, “The five kings have been found hiding in the cave at Makkedah.” 18 Joshua said, “Roll large stones over the mouth of the cave and post guards in front of it.[w] 19 But don’t you delay! Chase your enemies and catch them.[x] Don’t allow them to retreat to[y] their cities, for the Lord your God is handing them over to you.”[z] 20 Joshua and the Israelites almost totally wiped them out, but some survivors did escape to the fortified cities.[aa] 21 Then the whole army safely returned to Joshua at the camp in Makkedah.[ab] No one[ac] dared threaten the Israelites.[ad] 22 Joshua said, “Open the cave’s mouth and bring the five kings[ae] out of the cave to me.” 23 They did as ordered;[af] they brought the five kings[ag] out of the cave to him—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon. 24 When they brought the kings out to Joshua, he[ah] summoned all the men of Israel and said to the commanders of the troops who accompanied him, “Come here[ai] and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came up[aj] and put their feet on their necks. 25 Then Joshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid and don’t panic![ak] Be strong and brave, for the Lord will do the same thing to all your enemies you fight.” 26 Then Joshua executed them[al] and hung them on five trees. They were left hanging on the trees until evening. 27 At sunset Joshua ordered his men to take them down from the trees.[am] They threw them into the cave where they had hidden and piled large stones over the mouth of the cave. (They remain to this very day.)[an]

Joshua Launches a Southern Campaign

28 That day Joshua captured Makkedah and put the sword to it and its king. He annihilated everyone who lived in it; he left no survivors. He did to its king what he had done to the king of Jericho.

29 Joshua and all Israel marched from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against it.[ao] 30 The Lord handed it and its king over to Israel, and Israel[ap] put the sword to all who lived there; they[aq] left no survivors. They did to its king what they had done to the king of Jericho.

31 Joshua and all Israel marched from Libnah to Lachish. He deployed his troops[ar] and fought against it. 32 The Lord handed Lachish over to Israel, and they[as] captured it on the second day. They put the sword to all who lived there, just as they had done to Libnah. 33 Then King Horam of Gezer came up to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down, as well as his army,[at] until no survivors remained.

34 Joshua and all Israel marched from Lachish to Eglon. They deployed troops[au] and fought against it. 35 That day they captured it and put the sword to all who lived there. That day they[av] annihilated it just as they had done to Lachish.

36 Joshua and all Israel marched up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it. 37 They captured it and put the sword to its king, all its surrounding cities, and all who lived in it; they[aw] left no survivors. As they had done at Eglon, they annihilated it and all who lived there.

38 Joshua and all Israel turned to Debir and fought against it. 39 They[ax] captured it, its king, and all its surrounding cities and put the sword to them. They annihilated everyone who lived there; they[ay] left no survivors. They did to Debir and its king what they had done to Libnah and its king and to Hebron.[az]

40 Joshua defeated the whole land, including the hill country, the Negev,[ba] the foothills,[bb] the slopes,[bc] and all their kings. He left no survivors. He annihilated everything that breathed, just as the Lord God of Israel had commanded. 41 Joshua conquered the area between Kadesh Barnea and Gaza and the whole region of Goshen, all the way to Gibeon.[bd] 42 Joshua captured in one campaign[be] all these kings and their lands, for the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel. 43 Then Joshua and all Israel returned to the camp at Gilgal.

Footnotes

  1. Joshua 10:1 tn Heb “as he had done to Jericho and to its king, so he did to Ai and to its king.”
  2. Joshua 10:1 tn Heb “and how.”
  3. Joshua 10:2 tn This statement is subordinated to v. 1 in the Hebrew text, which reads literally, “When Adoni-Zedek…they feared greatly.” The subject of the plural verb at the beginning of v. 2 is probably the residents of Jerusalem.
  4. Joshua 10:4 tn Heb “Come up to me and help me.”
  5. Joshua 10:5 tn Heb “and they camped against Gibeon and fought against it.”
  6. Joshua 10:6 tn Heb “do not let your hand drop from us.”
  7. Joshua 10:6 tn Heb “your servants!”
  8. Joshua 10:6 tn Heb “have gathered against us.”
  9. Joshua 10:7 tn Heb “And Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the brave warriors.”
  10. Joshua 10:8 tn Heb “I have given them into your hand.” The verbal form is a perfect of certitude, emphasizing the certainty of the action.
  11. Joshua 10:8 tn Heb “and not a man [or “one”] of them will stand before you.”
  12. Joshua 10:9 tn Heb “Joshua came upon them suddenly, all the night he went up from Gilgal.”
  13. Joshua 10:10 tn Or “caused to panic.”
  14. Joshua 10:10 tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Israel (mentioned at the end of the previous sentence in the verse; cf. NIV, NRSV), but it is also possible that the Lord should be understood as the referent (cf. NASB “and He slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon”), or even Joshua (cf. NEB “and Joshua defeated them utterly in Gibeon”).
  15. Joshua 10:10 tn Heb “struck them down with a great striking down.”
  16. Joshua 10:10 tn Or “ascent.”
  17. Joshua 10:11 tn Heb “on the descent of.”
  18. Joshua 10:11 tn Or “heaven” (also in v. 13). The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.
  19. Joshua 10:12 tn Heb “Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day the Lord placed the Amorites before the sons of Israel and he said in the eyes of Israel.” It is uncertain whether the phrase “before the sons of Israel” modifies the verb “placed” (as in the present translation, “delivered the Amorites over to the Israelites”) or the verb “spoke” (“Joshua spoke to the Lord before the sons of Israel in the day the Lord delivered over the Amorites”).
  20. Joshua 10:13 tn Heb “Is it not written down in the Scroll of the Upright One?” Many modern translations render this as “the Book of Jashar.” Yashar (יָשָׁר) means “Upright One.”sn The Scroll of the Upright One was apparently an ancient Israelite collection of songs and prayers (see also 2 Sam 1:18), but it has not been preserved.
  21. Joshua 10:13 tn Heb “and did not hurry to set [for] about a full day.”sn The nature of the event described here is debated. Various options have been suggested, including (1) the earth stopped rotating, (2) the light of the sun somehow shone longer than normal, (3) the light of the sun was blocked by an eclipse, (4) the position of the sun and moon in the sky was interpreted as an omen, or (5) the language is figurative and metaphorical, describing the battle in poetic terms. For a good discussion of these options, see D. M. Howard, Jr., Joshua (NAC), 241-49.
  22. Joshua 10:16 tn Heb “these five kings.”
  23. Joshua 10:18 tn Heb “and appoint by it men to guard them.”
  24. Joshua 10:19 tn Heb “But [as for] you, don’t stand still, chase after your enemies and attack them from the rear.”
  25. Joshua 10:19 tn Or “enter into.”
  26. Joshua 10:19 tn Heb “has given them into your hand.” The verbal form is a perfect of certitude, emphasizing the certainty of the action.
  27. Joshua 10:20 tn Heb “When Joshua and the sons of Israel finished defeating them with a very great defeat until they were destroyed (now the survivors escaped to the fortified cities).” In the Hebrew text the initial temporal clause (“when Joshua…finished”) is subordinated to v. 21 (“the whole army returned”).
  28. Joshua 10:21 tn Heb “all the people returned to the camp, to Joshua [at] Makkedah [in] peace.”
  29. Joshua 10:21 tc Heb “No man.” The lamed (ל) prefixed to אִישׁ (ʾish, “man”) is probably dittographic (note the immediately preceding יִשְׂרָאֵל [yisraʾel] which ends in lamed, ל); cf. the LXX.
  30. Joshua 10:21 tn Heb “no man sharpened [or perhaps, “pointed”] his tongue against the sons of Israel.” Cf. NEB “not a man of the Israelites suffered so much as a scratch on his tongue,” which understands “sharpened” as “scratched” (referring to a minor wound). Most modern translations understand the Hebrew expression “sharpened his tongue” figuratively for opposition or threats against the Israelites.
  31. Joshua 10:22 tn Heb “these five kings.”
  32. Joshua 10:23 tn Heb “they did so.”
  33. Joshua 10:23 tn Heb “these five kings.”
  34. Joshua 10:24 tn Heb “Joshua.” The translation has replaced the proper name with the pronoun (“he”) because a repetition of the proper name here would be redundant according to English style.
  35. Joshua 10:24 tn Or “Draw near.”
  36. Joshua 10:24 tn Or “drew near.”
  37. Joshua 10:25 tn Or perhaps “and don’t get discouraged!”
  38. Joshua 10:26 tn Heb “struck them down and killed them.”
  39. Joshua 10:27 sn For the legal background of the removal of the corpses before sundown, see Deut 21:22-23.
  40. Joshua 10:27 tn Heb “to this very day.” The words “They remain” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
  41. Joshua 10:29 tn Heb “Libnah.” Repetition of the proper name here would be redundant according to English style, so the pronoun (“it”) has been employed in the translation.
  42. Joshua 10:30 tn Heb “he”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army).
  43. Joshua 10:30 tn Heb “he”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army). So also for “They did to its king” and “they had done.”
  44. Joshua 10:31 tn Heb “encamped against it.”
  45. Joshua 10:32 tn Heb “he”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army).
  46. Joshua 10:33 tn Heb “people.”
  47. Joshua 10:34 tn Heb “they encamped against it.”
  48. Joshua 10:35 tn Heb “he”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army). So also for “they had done to Lachish.”
  49. Joshua 10:37 tn Heb “he”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army). So also for “they had done” and “they annihilated.”
  50. Joshua 10:39 tn Heb “He”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army).
  51. Joshua 10:39 tn Heb “he”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army). So also for “They did to Debir” and “they had done to Libnah.”
  52. Joshua 10:39 tn Heb “as he did to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king, and as he did to Libnah and its king.” The clauses have been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.
  53. Joshua 10:40 sn The Negev is an area of central southern Judah, south of the hill country and west of the rift valley. As a geographic feature it is a depression extending south to the Gulf of Aqabah, but the biblical reference is probably to the northern portion of the region.
  54. Joshua 10:40 sn The foothills (שְׁפֵלָה, shephelah) are the transition region from the hill country to the Mediterranean coastal plains.
  55. Joshua 10:40 sn In contrast to the foothills on the western side of the hill country, the slopes are on the eastern side leading down to the rift valley of the Dead Sea and Jordan river.
  56. Joshua 10:41 tn Heb “and Joshua struck them down, from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen, even to Gibeon.”
  57. Joshua 10:42 tn Heb “at one time.”
