Joshua 10:17-19

Contemporary English Version

¹⁷ Joshua's soldiers told him, “The five kings have been found in a cave near Makkedah.”

¹⁸ Joshua answered, “Roll some big stones over the mouth of the cave and leave a few soldiers to guard it. ¹⁹ But you and everyone else must keep going after the enemy troops, because they will be safe if they reach their walled towns. Don't let them get away! The Lord our God is helping us get rid of them.”
