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

Context

13The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn’t this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down about a whole day.
14There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man; for Yahweh fought for Israel.
15Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
16These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
18Joshua said, “Roll large stones to cover the cave’s entrance, and set men by it to guard them;
19but don’t stay there. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter into their cities; for Yahweh your God has delivered them into your hand.”
