And the Lord confounded them before Israel, and He slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

Now these five kings had fled and hidden themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

It was told Joshua, saying, “The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”

that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. No one uttered a 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 every person who was in it. He left no survivor. Thus he did to the king of Makkedah just as he had done to the king of Jericho.

Then Joshua and all Israel with him passed 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.
