And the Lord made them full of fear before Israel, and they put great numbers of them to death at Gibeon, and went after them by the way going up to Beth-horon, driving them back to Azekah and Makkedah

But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah.

And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah.

All the people went back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Makkedah in peace: and no one said a word against the children of Israel.

That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it;

The king of Makkedah, one; the king of Beth-el, one;

And Gederoth, Beth-dagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen towns with their unwalled places.
