Joshua 10:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ So Joshua and the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] ·killed the enemy [^Lfinished slaying them with a very great slaughter], but a ·few [remnant; few survivors] were able to get back to their strong, walled cities. ²¹ After the fighting, Joshua’s men came back safely to him at Makkedah. No one ·was brave enough to say a word against [or suffered even a scratch on his tongue; ^Cthe Hebrew idiom “sharpened/scratched his tongue” may mean to threaten with words or to suffer a minor injury] the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel].

²² Joshua said, “Move the ·rocks that are covering the opening [^Lmouth] of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”
