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 Israelites returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah. After that, no one dared to speak even a word against Israel.

22 Then Joshua said, “Remove the rocks covering the opening of the cave, and bring the five kings to me.”

23 So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.

24 When they brought them out, Joshua told the commanders of his army, “Come and put your feet on the kings’ necks.” And they did as they were told.

25 “Don’t ever be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua told his men. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD is going to do this to all of your enemies.”
