And he will go up from thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before, the City of the Book. And Caleb will say, Who will smite the City of the Book and take it, and I gave to him Achsah my daughter for a wife. And Othniel, son of Kenaz will take it, the brother of Caleb, and he will give to him Achsah his daughter for a wife.
And Caleb will say, Whoever shall smite the city of the Book and take it, and I will give to him Achsah my daughter for a wife. And Othniel, son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, the small, will take it from him, and he will give to him Achsah his daughter for a wife.
And Dannah, and Kirjath-Sannah (this is Debir),

And lord Zedek, king of Jerusalem, will send to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying, Come up to me and help me, and we will smite Gibeon, because she made peace with Joshua and with the sons of Israel. And the five kings of the Amorites will be gathered together and will come up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, they and all their camps, and they will encamp against Gibeon, and they will war against her.

And the men of Gibeon will send to Joshua to the camp of Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hands from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites inhabiting the mountain gathered themselves together against us. And Joshua will come up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty of strength. And Jehovah will say to Joshua, Thou shalt not be afraid of them, for into thy hands I gave them; a man of them shall not stand before thee. And Joshua will come to them suddenly, all night he went up from Gilgal. And Jehovah will discomfit them before Israel, and will strike them a great blow in Gibeon, and will pursue them the way of the ascent of the house of Horon, and he will strike them even to Azekah and even to Makkedah. And it will be in their fleeing from before Israel, they in the descent of the house of Horon, and Jehovah cast down upon them great stones from the heavens, even to Azekah; and more will die who died by the stones of hail than whom the sons of Israel slew with the sword. Then will Joshua speak to Jehovah in the day Jehovah will give the Amorite before the sons of Israel, and he will say before the eyes of Israel, Sun in Gibeon, be thou silent, and thou Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun will be silent, and the moon stood, till the people will be avenged upon its enemies. Is it not written upon the book of the upright? and the sun will stand in the half of the heavens, and it hasted not to go down for a whole day. And there was not as that day, before it and after it, that Jehovah heard to the voice of a man: for Jehovah fought for Israel. And Joshua turned back, and all Israel with him, to the camp of Gilgal. And these five kings will flee and will hide in a cave in Makkedah. And it will be announced to Joshua, saying, The five kings were found hid in a cave in Makkedah. And Joshua will say, Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men over it to watch them. And ye shall not stand; pursue after your enemies; cut off the rear of them; ye shall not give them to come in to their cities, for Jehovah your God gave them into your hand. And it will be when Joshua finished, and the sons of Israel, smiting them an exceeding great blow till he finished them, and they escaping, escaped from them and they will go to the fortified cities. And all the people will turn back to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: and none sharpened his tongue against a man to the sons of Israel. And Joshua will say, Open the mouth of the cave and bring forth to me these five kings out of the cave. And they will do so, and will bring forth to him these five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon. And it will be when they brought these kings forth to Joshua, and Joshua will call to every man of Israel, and will say to the leaders of the men of war having gone with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they will come near and put their feet upon their necks. And Joshua will say to them, Ye shall not fear and ye shall not be dismayed; be strong and be active, for thus will Jehovah do to all your enemies whom ye war against them. And Joshua will smite them after this, and will kill them, and hang them upon five trees: and they will be hanging upon the trees till evening. And it will be at the time of the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they will take them down from the trees and cast them into the cave where they were hid there; and they will put great stones upon the mouth of the cave till this self-same day.
And Joshua will go in that time and will cut off the Anakims from the mountain, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from every mountain of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel, with their cities Joshua exterminated them.
And Holon and her area, and Debir and her area,
And the bound went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and north turned to Gilgal which is before the going up of Adummim, which is from the south of the torrent: and the bound passed over to the water of the fountain of the Sun, and its going forth to the fountain of Rogel.
And Joshua will turn back, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and he will war against it And he will take it and its king, and all its cities, and they will smite them with the mouth of the sword, and exterminate every soul which is in it; none was left escaping: as he did to Hebron so he did to Debir and to her king, and as he did to Libnah and her king.
