And they put it aside until the morning, as Moses had commanded, and it did not make a stench, and not a maggot was in it.

And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

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

And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.

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

And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.

Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:

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

And Gederoth, Bethdagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages:

[if] I call to the pit, 'You [are] my father,' to the maggot, '[You are] my mother or my sister,'

[The] womb forgets him. [The] maggot feasts on him [until] he is no longer remembered, and wickedness is broken like a tree.

How much less man, that maggot,
And the son of man, that worm!”

I will put your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your maggot-infested carcass.

But I [am] like a maggot to Ephraim and like rottenness to the house of Judah.

then dismissing the multitude, he embark'd, and came to the coast of Magada.
