5 Então se ajuntaram, e subiram cinco reis dos amorreus, o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebrom, o rei de Jarmute, o rei de Laquis, o rei de Eglom, eles e todos os seus exércitos, e sitiaram a Gibeão e pelejaram contra ela.

Josué 10:5 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 10:5

Therefore the five kings of the Amorites
For though they were chiefly Hittites that dwelt in Hebron, and Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; yet as the Amorites were the most powerful people in the land, and had dispersed themselves in the several parts of it, and seem to have the greatest authority in it, they were all called Amorites, and perhaps the kings of those cities were of them, and set over them by them; so we find that the Gibeonites, who were Hivites, are said to be of the remnant of the Amorite, ( 2 Samuel 21:2 ) ;

the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the
king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and
went up, they, and all their hosts;
that is, to Jerusalem, the place of their rendezvous, and from thence they marched:

and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it:
by besieging it, and attacking it in some of its forts.

Josué 10:5 In-Context

3 Pelo que Adoni-Zedeque, rei de Jerusalém, enviou mensageiros a Hoão, rei de Hebrom, a Pirã, rei de Jarmute, a Jafia, rei de Laquis, e a Debir, rei de Eglom, para lhes dizer:

4 Subi a mim, e ajudai-me; firamos a Gibeão, porquanto fez paz com Josué e com os filhos de Israel.

5 Então se ajuntaram, e subiram cinco reis dos amorreus, o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebrom, o rei de Jarmute, o rei de Laquis, o rei de Eglom, eles e todos os seus exércitos, e sitiaram a Gibeão e pelejaram contra ela.

6 Enviaram, pois, os homens de Gibeão a Josué, ao arraial em Gilgal, a dizer-lhe: Não retires de teus servos a tua mão; sobe apressadamente a nós, e livra-nos, e ajuda-nos, porquanto se ajuntaram contra nós todos os reis dos amorreus, que habitam na região montanhosa.

7 Josué, pois, subiu de Gilgal com toda a gente de guerra e todos os homens valorosos.
