So they came forward and placed their feet on their necks. 25 Then Joshua said to them, 'Do not be afraid or discouraged. Be strong and courageous, for this is what the LORD will do to all the enemies you fight against.' 26 After this, Joshua struck them down and put them to death. He hanged them on five trees, and they were left hanging on the trees until evening. 27 At sunset, Joshua ordered them to be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave where they had hidden. Large stones were placed over the opening of the cave, which remain there to this day.
  • Josh 11:1-9 : 1 When Jabin, king of Hazor, heard about this, he sent word to Jobab, king of Madon, and to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph. 2 He also sent to the kings who were in the northern hill country, in the Arabah plain south of Kinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor near the sea. 3 These included the Canaanites in the east and west, the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites in the hill country, and the Hivites under Mount Hermon in the land of Mizpah. 4 They came out with all their armies, a vast number of people as numerous as the sand on the seashore, along with a large number of horses and chariots. 5 All these kings joined forces and came together to camp at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel. 6 The LORD said to Joshua, 'Do not be afraid of them, for by this time tomorrow I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You are to hamstring their horses and burn their chariots in the fire.' 7 So Joshua and all his warriors came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom and attacked them. 8 The LORD gave them into the hand of Israel, who struck them down and pursued them as far as Greater Sidon, Misrephoth Maim, and the valley of Mizpeh to the east. They struck them down until no survivors remained. 9 Joshua did to them as the LORD had instructed: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots in the fire. 10 At that time, Joshua turned back and captured Hazor, striking its king with the sword. Hazor had formerly been the head of all these kingdoms. 11 They struck down everyone in the city with the sword, completely destroying them. Not a single living thing was left, and Joshua burned Hazor with fire. 12 Joshua captured all the cities of these kings and their kings as well. He struck them down with the sword and completely destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded. 13 However, Israel did not burn any of the cities built on their mounds, except for Hazor, which Joshua burned. 14 The Israelites took all the plunder and livestock of these cities for themselves, but they killed all the people with the sword, completely destroying them and leaving no survivors. 15 As the LORD had commanded his servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua, and Joshua did as instructed. He left nothing undone from all that the LORD had commanded Moses.
