20So Joshua and the Israelites destroyed them completely-almost to a man-but the few who were left reached their fortified cities.


In Context

17 When Joshua was told that the five kings had been found hiding in the cave at Makkedah,

18 he said, "Roll large rocks up to the mouth of the cave, and post some men there to guard it.

19 But don't stop! Pursue your enemies, attack them from the rear and don't let them reach their cities, for the Lord your God has given them into your hand."

20 So Joshua and the Israelites destroyed them completely-almost to a man-but the few who were left reached their fortified cities.

21 The whole army then returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one uttered a word against the Israelites.

22 Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me."
