And Yahweh threw them into panic before Israel, who struck them [with] a great blow at Gibeon and pursued them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

But these five kings fled and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

And it was told to Joshua, saying, "The five kings were found hidden in the cave at Makkedah."

and all the people returned to the camp safely to Joshua [at] Makkedah. {No one spoke} against the {Israelites}.

Joshua captured Makkedah on that day, and he struck it and its king with {the edge of the sword}; he utterly destroyed it and everyone that was in it. He did not leave behind a survivor. So he did to the king of Makkedah just as he did to the king of Jericho.

And Joshua passed on, and all of Israel with him, from Makkedah [to] Libnah, and he fought against Libnah.

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

Gederoth, Beth Dagon, Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities and their villages.
