Joshua 10:27-29

International Children’s Bible

²⁷ At sunset Joshua told his men to take the bodies down from the trees. Then they threw their bodies into the same cave where they had been hiding. They covered the opening to the cave with large rocks. They are still there today.

²⁸ That day Joshua defeated Makkedah. He killed the king and completely destroyed all the people in that city. He killed them as an offering to the Lord. There was no one left alive. He did the same thing to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

Defeating Southern Cities

²⁹ Then Joshua and all the Israelites traveled from Makkedah. They went to Libnah and attacked it.
