Joshua 10:25-27
New English Translation
25 Then Joshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid and don’t panic![a] Be strong and brave, for the Lord will do the same thing to all your enemies you fight.” 26 Then Joshua executed them[b] and hung them on five trees. They were left hanging on the trees until evening. 27 At sunset Joshua ordered his men to take them down from the trees.[c] They threw them into the cave where they had hidden and piled large stones over the mouth of the cave. (They remain to this very day.)[d]
