15 Toen keerde Jozua weder, en gans Israel met hem, naar het leger te Gilgal.

17 En aan Jozua werd geboodschapt, mits te zeggen: Die vijf koningen zijn gevonden, verborgen in de spelonk bij Makkeda.

19 Maar staat gijlieden niet stil, jaagt uw vijanden achterna, en slaat hen in den staart; laat hen in hun steden niet komen; want de HEERE, uw God, heeft ze in uw hand gegeven.
