'Cave' in the Bible
Now the five defeated kings had fled and hidden themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
It was reported to Joshua: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and station men by it to guard the kings.
Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings to me out of there.”
That is what they did. They brought the five kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon to Joshua out of the cave.
At sunset Joshua commanded that they be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave where they had hidden. Then large stones were placed against the mouth of the cave, and the stones are there to this day.
