15 So Yehoshua returned, and all Yisra’ĕl with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
16 Now these five sovereigns had fled and hidden themselves in a cave at Maqqĕḏah.
17 And it was reported to Yehoshua, saying, “The five sovereigns have been found hidden in the cave at Maqqĕḏah.”
18 And Yehoshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them.
19 “And you, do not stand still, but pursue your enemies. And you shall smite them in the rear. Do not allow them to enter their cities, for יהוה your Elohim has given them into your hand.”
20 And it came to be, when Yehoshua and the children of Yisra’ĕl had ended smiting them with a very great slaughter, till they had finished – but those who escaped went into walled cities –
21 that all the people returned to the camp, to Yehoshua at Maqqĕḏah, in peace. No one moved his tongue against any of the sons of Yisra’ĕl.
