The LORD confused them before Israel, and he killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to Makkedah.

These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

Joshua was told, saying, "The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah."

that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed them and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining. He did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.

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

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