And the Lord caused them to panic and be confused before Israel, and He struck them dead in a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goes up to Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

Now these five [Amorite] kings fled and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

And Joshua was told, “The five kings have been found and are hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”

all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. No one uttered a [threatening] word against any of the sons of Israel.

Now Joshua captured Makkedah on that day, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed it and everyone who was in it. He left no survivor. So he did to the king of Makkedah just as he had done to the king of Jericho.

Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.

the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;

and Gederoth, Beth-dagon and Naamah and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages.
