Which things when Adonisedec king of Jerusalem had heard, to wit, that Josue had taken Hai, and overthrew, utterly destroyed (a city razed), not the modern "undermine/corrupt" · Vulgate: subvertisset it (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai, and their king) and that the Gabaonites had fled to Israel, and were their confederates,VVHich thinges when Adonisedec king of Ierusalem had heard, to witte, that Iosue had taken Hai, and subuerted it (for as he had done to Iericho & the king therof, so did he to Hai, & their king) and that the Gabaonites had fled to Israel, and were their confederates,Quæ cum audisset Adonisedec rex Jerusalem, quod scilicet cepisset Josue Hai, et subvertisset eam (sicut enim fecerat Jericho et regi ejus, sic fecit Hai et regi illius), et quod transfugissent Gabaonitæ ad Israël, et essent fœderati eorum,

Urbs enim magna erat Gabaon, et una civitatum regalium, et major oppido Hai, omnesque bellatores ejus fortissimi.
3Therefore Adonisedec king of Jerusalem sent to Oham king of Hebron, and to Pharam king of Jerimoth, to Japhia also king of Lachis, and to Dabir king of Eglon, saying:Therfore Adonisedec king of Ierusalem sent to Oham king of Hebron, and to Pharam king of Ierimoth, to Iaphia also king of Lachis, and to Dabir king of Eglon, saying:Misit ergo Adonisedec rex Jerusalem ad Oham regem Hebron, et ad Pharam regem Jerimoth, ad Japhia quoque regem Lachis, et ad Dabir regem Eglon, dicens :

5Therefore the five kings of the Amorrheites being assembled went up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, together with their hosts, and camped about Gabaon, assaulting it.Therfore the fiue kinges of the Amorrheites being assembled went vp: the king of Ierusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Ierimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, together with their hostes, & camped about Gabaon, assaulting it.Congregati igitur ascenderunt quinque reges Amorrhæorum : rex Jerusalem, rex Hebron, rex Jerimoth, rex Lachis, rex Eglon, simul cum exercitibus suis : et castrametati sunt circa Gabaon, oppugnantes eam.
6But the inhabitants of the city Gabaon which was besieged, sent to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: withdraw not thy hands from the help of thy servants: come up quickly and deliver us, and bring aid: for there are assembled against us all the kings of the Amorrheites, which dwell in the mountains.But the inhabitantes of the citie Gabaon which was besieged, sent to Iosue, who then abode in the campe at Galgal, & said to him: withdraw not thy handes from the helpe of thy seruantes: come vp quickly & deliuer vs, and bring ayde: for there are assembled against vs al the kinges of the Amorrheites, which dwel in the mountaines.Habitatores autem Gabaon urbis obsessæ miserunt ad Josue, qui tunc morabatur in castris apud Galgalam, et dixerunt ei : Ne retrahas manus tuas ab auxilio servorum tuorum : ascende cito, et libera nos, ferque præsidium : convenerunt enim adversum nos omnes reges Amorrhæorum, qui habitant in montanis.
7And Josue went up from Galgal, and all the an army, the armed muster, not a guest or an entertainer · Vulgate: exercitus of the men of war with him most valiant men.And Iosue went vp from Galgal, & al the hoste of the men of warre with him most valiant men.Ascenditque Josue de Galgalis, et omnis exercitus bellatorum cum eo, viri fortissimi.
8And our Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands: none of them shall be able to resist thee.And our Lord said to Iosue: Feare them not: for I haue deliuered them into thy handes: none of them shal be able to resist thee.Dixitque Dominus ad Josue : Ne timeas eos : in manus enim tuas tradidi illos : nullus ex eis tibi resistere poterit.
9Josue therefore came in upon them suddenly, going up all the night from Galgal.Iosue therfore came in vpon them sodenly, going vp al the night from Galgal.Irruit itaque Josue super eos repente, tota nocte ascendens de Galgalis.
10And our Lord troubled them at the sight of Israel: and destroyed them with a great slaughter in Gabaon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Bethoron, and struck, smote (preterite of strike) · Vulgate: percussit them unto Azeca and Maceda.And our Lord troubled them at the sight of Israel: and destroyed them with a great slaughter in Gabaon, & pursewed them by the way of the ascente to Bethoron, & stroke them vnto Azeca & Maceda.Et conturbavit eos Dominus a facie Israël : contrivitque plaga magna in Gabaon, ac persecutus est eos per viam ascensus Bethoron, et percussit usque Azeca et Maceda.
11And when they fled the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Bethoron, our Lord sent upon them great stones from heaven as far as Azeca: and there died far more with the stones of hail, than they whom the children of Israel had strucken with the sword.And when they fled the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Bethoron, our Lord sent vpon them great stones from heauen as farre as Azeca: and there died farre more with the stones of haile, then they whom the children of Israel had strooken with the sword.Cumque fugerent filios Israël, et essent in descensu Bethoron, Dominus misit super eos lapides magnos de cælo usque ad Azeca : et mortui sunt multo plures lapidibus grandinis, quam quos gladio percusserant filii Israël.
12Then spake Josue to our Lord in the day, that he delivered the Amorrheite in the sight of Israel, and said before them: Thou Sun against Gabaon move not, and thou Moon against the valley of Ajalon.Then spake Iosue to our Lord in the day, that he deliuered the Amorrheite in the sight of Israel, & said before them: Thou Sunne against Gabaon moue not, and thou Moone against the valley of Aialon.Tunc locutus est Josue Domino, in die qua tradidit Amorrhæum in conspectu filiorum Israël, dixitque coram eis : Sol, contra Gabaon ne movearis, et luna contra vallem Ajalon./
13And the Sun and Moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the just? The Sun therefore stood still in the midst of heaven, and hastened not to go down the space of one day.And the Sunne and Moone stoode stil, til the people reuenged themselues of their enemies. Is not this written in the booke of the iust? The Sunne therfore stood stil in the middes of heauen, & hastened not to goe downe the space of one day.Steteruntque sol et luna, donec ulcisceretur se gens de inimicis suis. Nonne scriptum est hoc in libro justorum ? Stetit itaque sol in medio cæli, et non festinavit occumbere spatio unius diei.
14There was not before nor after so long a day, our Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.There was not before nor after so long a day, our Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.Non fuit antea nec postea tam longa dies, obediente Domino voci hominis, et pugnante pro Israël.
15And Josue returned with all Israel into the camp of Galgal.And Iosue returned with al Israel into the campe of Galgal.Reversusque est Josue cum omni Israël in castra Galgalæ.
16For the five kings were fled, and had hid themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda.For the fiue kinges were fled, and had hid themselues in a caue of the citie of Maceda.Fugerant enim quinque reges et se absconderant in spelunca urbis Maceda.
17And it was told Josue that the five kings were found lying hid in a cave of the city of Maceda.And it was told Iosue that the fiue kinges were found lying hid in a caue of the citie of Maceda.Nuntiatumque est Josue quod inventi essent quinque reges latentes in spelunca urbis Maceda.

19and stand not you still, but pursue the enemies, and kill all the the rearmost, those farthest behind (the last of the fleeing) · Vulgate: extremos of them that flee, neither let them enter into the the garrisons, the fortified strongholds, not armed troops or military forces · Vulgate: præsidia of their cities, whom our Lord God hath delivered into your hands.and stand not you stil, but pursew the enemies, and kil al the hindermost of them that flee, neither let them enter into the forces of their cities, whom our Lord God hath deliuered into your handes.vos autem nolite stare, sed persequimini hostes, et extremos quosque fugientium cædite : nec dimittatis eos urbium suarum intrare præsidia, quos tradidit Dominus Deus in manus vestras.
20The adversaries therefore being slain with a great slaughter, and almost consumed to utter destruction, they that could escape from Israel, entered into fortified, walled, not enclosed with a fence · Vulgate: munitas cities.The aduersaries therfore being slaine with a great slaughter, and almost consumed to vtter destruction, they that could escape from Israel, entered into fensed cities.Cæsis ergo adversariis plaga magna, et usque ad internecionem pene consumptis, hi qui Israël effugere potuerunt, ingressi sunt civitates munitas.
21And all the host returned to Josue in Maceda, where then the camp was, safe and the full number: and no man durst once mutter against the children of Israel.And al the hoste returned to Iosue in Maceda, where then the campe was, safe and the ful number: and no man durst once mutter against the children of Israel.Reversusque est omnis exercitus ad Josue in Maceda, ubi tunc erant castra, sani et integro numero : nullusque contra filios Israël mutire ausus est.
22And Josue commanded, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings, that lie hid therein.And Iosue commanded, saying: Open the mouth of the caue, & bring forth to me the fiue kinges, that lie hid therein.Præcepitque Josue, dicens : Aperite os speluncæ, et producite ad me quinque reges, qui in ea latitant.
23And the ministers did as it was commanded them: and they brought to him the five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon.And the ministers did as it was commanded them: and they brought to him the fiue kinges out of the caue, the king of Ierusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Ierimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon.Feceruntque ministri ut sibi fuerat imperatum : et eduxerunt ad eum quinque reges de spelunca, regem Jerusalem, regem Hebron, regem Jerimoth, regem Lachis, regem Eglon.
24And when they were brought forth to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the princes of the host that were with him: Go, and set your feet upon the necks of these kings. Who when they had gone, and trodden with their feet the necks of them lying under,And when they were brought forth to him, he called al the men of Israel, and said to the princes of the hoste that were with him: Goe, and sette your feete vpon the neckes of these kinges. Who when they had gone, and troden with their feete the neckes of them lying vnder,Cumque educti essent ad eum, vocavit omnes viros Israël, et ait ad principes exercitus qui secum erant : Ite, et ponite pedes super colla regum istorum. Qui cum perrexissent, et subjectorum colla pedibus calcarent,
25again he said to them: Fear ye not, neither dread, take courage and be strong: for so will our Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.again he said to them: Feare ye not, neither dread, take courage and be strong: for so wil our Lord doe to al your enemies, against whom you fight.rursum ait ad eos : Nolite timere, nec paveatis : confortamini, et estote robusti : sic enim faciet Dominus cunctis hostibus vestris, adversum quos dimicatis.
26And Josue stroke, and slew them, and hanged them upon five gallows, the upright stakes on which the executed were hung up · Vulgate: stipites: and they hung until evening.And Iosue stroke, and slew them, and hanged them vpon fiue gibbettes: and they hung vntil euening.Percussitque Josue, et interfecit eos, atque suspendit super quinque stipites : fueruntque suspensi usque ad vesperum.

Qui depositos projecerunt in speluncam in qua latuerant, et posuerunt super os ejus saxa ingentia, quæ permanent usque in præsens.
28The same day Josue took Maceda and stroke it in the edge of the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left not in it so much as small remnants, survivors left remaining, not sacred relics · Vulgate: reliquias.
