Context

1Now when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai), and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them,

2they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.

3Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,

4“Come up to me and help me. Let’s strike Gibeon); for they have made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.”
