Joshua 10:24-26

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁴ When they brought the kings out to Joshua, Joshua summoned all the Israelites and said to the chiefs of the warriors who had gone with him, “Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings.” Then they came near and put their feet on their necks.^{(A) 25} And Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid or dismayed; be strong and courageous, for thus the Lord will do to all the enemies against whom you fight.”^{(B) 26} Afterward Joshua struck them down and put them to death, and he hung them on five trees. And they hung on the trees until evening.^(C)
