14 Never before, and never since, has there been a day like it, when the Lord obeyed a human being. The Lord fought on Israel's side!
15 After this, Joshua and his army went back to the camp at Gilgal.
16 The five Amorite kings, however, had escaped and were hiding in the cave at Makkedah.
17 Someone found them, and Joshua was told where they were hiding.
18 He said, “Roll some big stones in front of the entrance to the cave. Place some guards there,
19 but don't stay there yourselves. Keep on after the enemy and attack them from the rear; don't let them get to their cities! The Lord your God has given you victory over them.”
20 Joshua and the men of Israel slaughtered them, although some managed to find safety inside their city walls and were not killed.
