Joshua 10:23 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 10:23

And they did so
Opened the mouth "of" the cave, by rolling away the stones:

and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave;
who are next mentioned by name, one by one, according to their dignity, and in the order they were brought unto him:

the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the
king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon;
who are particularly named for the greater glory of the conquest, and the triumph over them.

Joshua 10:23 In-Context

21 Then the whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah. Not a single person dared to speak against any of the Israelites.

22 Joshua said, "Open the cave, and bring me the five kings!"

23 So they brought him the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.

24 When they brought them to Joshua, he called for all the men of Israel. He told the officers who had gone with him, "Come forward and put your feet on the necks of these kings." So that's what they did.

25 Joshua told them, "Don't be afraid or terrified! Be strong and courageous, because this is what the LORD will do to all the enemies you're fighting against."
