THE BOOK OF
JOSHUA
CHAPTERS 7-12
1 ¶ But the children of Israel committed a trespass in
the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of
Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing:
and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.
2 And Joshua sent
men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel,
and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up
and viewed Ai.
3
And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people
go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not
all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.
4 So there went
up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men
of Ai.
5
And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they
chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the
going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
6 ¶ And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth
upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders
of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
7 And Joshua
said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over
Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to
God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
8 O Lord, what
shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
9
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it,
and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt
thou do unto thy great name?
10 ¶ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up;
wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
11
Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I
commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also
stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
12 Therefore the
children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs
before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
13 Up, sanctify
the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the
LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel:
thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed
thing from among you.
14
In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes:
and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to
the families thereof; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by
households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.
15 And it shall
be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed
the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
16 ¶ So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought
Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
17 And he brought
the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi
was taken:
18 And he brought
his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the
son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
19 And Joshua
said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel,
and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.
20 And Achan
answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel,
and thus and thus have I done:
21 When I saw
among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of
silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the
midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
22 So Joshua sent
messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent,
and the silver under it.
23 And they took
them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before
the LORD.
24 And Joshua,
and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the
garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen,
and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they
brought them unto the valley of Achor.
25
And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee
this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire,
after they had stoned them with stones.
26 And they
raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from
the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
1 ¶ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou
dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I
have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his
land:
2
And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her
king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey
unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.
3 ¶ So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up
against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent
them away by night.
4
And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the
city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:
5 And I, and all
the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to
pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before
them,
6
(For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city;
for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee
before them.
7 Then ye shall
rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will
deliver it into your hand.
8 And it shall
be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I
have commanded you.
9 Joshua
therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between
Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the
people.
10
And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and
went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
11 And all the
people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and
came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a
valley between them and Ai.
12
And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush
between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
13 And when they
had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and
their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the
midst of the valley.
14
And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and
rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he
and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that
there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.
15 And Joshua and
all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
16 And all the
people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they
pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
17 And there was
not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel: and they left
the city open, and pursued after Israel.
18
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand
toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the
spear that he had in his hand toward the city.
19 And the ambush
arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out
his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
20 And when the
men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city
ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and
the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
21 And when
Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again,
and slew the men of Ai.
22 And the other
issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some
on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none
of them remain or escape.
23 ¶ And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him
to Joshua.
24
And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the
inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and
when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed,
that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the
sword.
25 And so it was,
that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
26 For Joshua
drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had
utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
27 Only the
cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves,
according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.
28
And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation
unto this day.
29 And the king
of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down,
Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast
it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of
stones, that remaineth unto this day.
30 ¶ Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of
Israel in mount Ebal,
31 As Moses the
servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the
book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift
up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.
32 And he wrote
there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the
presence of the children of Israel.
33 And all
Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side
the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of
the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that
was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them
over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before,
that they should bless the people of Israel.
34 And afterward
he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according
to all that is written in the book of the law.
35 There was not
a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the
congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers
that were conversant among them.
1 ¶ And it came to pass, when all the
kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in
all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the
Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard
thereof;
2 That they
gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
3 ¶ And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua
had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
4 They did work
wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks
upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
5
And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them;
and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.
6 And they went
to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel,
We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.
7
And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among
us; and how shall we make a league with you?
8 And they said
unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and
from whence come ye?
9 And they said
unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of
him, and all that he did in Egypt,
10 And all that he
did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of
Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.
11 Wherefore our
elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them,
and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with
us.
12 This our bread
we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go
unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:
13 And these
bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason
of the very long journey.
14 And the men
took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.
15 ¶ And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league
with them, to let them live: and the princes of the
congregation sware unto them.
16 And it came to
pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they
heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
17 And the
children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and
Kirjathjearim.
18 And the
children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had
sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured
against the princes.
19 But all the
princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
20 This we will
do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the
oath which we sware unto them.
21 And the
princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and
drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.
22 ¶ And Joshua called for them, and
he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very
far from you; when ye dwell among us?
23 Now therefore
ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and
hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
24 And they
answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give
you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before
you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done
this thing.
25 And now,
behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto
us, do.
26
And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the
children of Israel, that they slew them not.
27 And Joshua
made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation,
and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should
choose.
1 ¶ Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of
Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as
he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how
the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
2
That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the
royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were
mighty.
3 Wherefore
Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram
king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon,
saying,
4
Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made
peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
5 Therefore the
five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king
of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves
together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
6 And the men of
Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from
thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the
kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against
us.
7 ¶ So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the
people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
8 And the LORD
said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand;
there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
9
Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all
night.
10 And the LORD
discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon,
and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to
Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
11 And it came to
pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven
upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones
than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
12 Then spake
Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before
the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of
Ajalon.
13 And the sun
stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon
their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood
still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14 And there was
no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
15 ¶ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto
the camp to Gilgal.
16 But these five
kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
17 And it was
told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
18
And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set
men by it for to keep them:
19 And stay ye
not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them
not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into
your hand.
20
And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an
end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that
the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities.
21 And all the
people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his
tongue against any of the children of Israel.
22
Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five
kings unto me out of the cave.
23 And they did
so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of
Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and
the king of Eglon.
24
And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that
Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men
of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these
kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
25 And Joshua
said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies
against whom ye fight.
26 And afterward
Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were
hanging upon the trees until the evening.
27 And it came to
pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they
took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein
they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain
until this very day.
28 ¶ And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with
the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all
the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of
Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.
29 Then Joshua
passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against
Libnah:
30 And the LORD
delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote
it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did
unto the king of Jericho.
31 And Joshua
passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against
it, and fought against it:
32 And the LORD
delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all
the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
33 Then Horam
king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people,
until he had left him none remaining.
34 And from
Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
35 And they took
it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that
were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done
to Lachish.
36 And Joshua
went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:
37 And they took
it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the
cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining,
according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all
the souls that were therein.
38
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought
against it:
39 And he took
it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with
the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein;
he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to
the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
40
So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of
the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but
utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
41 And Joshua
smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen,
even unto Gibeon.
42
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because
the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
43 And Joshua
returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
1 ¶ And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had
heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon,
and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2 And to the
kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of
Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,
3 And to the
Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains,
and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
4 And they went
out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is
upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
5 And when all
these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
6 And the LORD
said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time
will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses,
and burn their chariots with fire.
7 So Joshua came,
and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
8 And the LORD
delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto
great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward;
and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
9 And Joshua did
unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt
their chariots with fire.
10 ¶ And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor,
and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of
all those kingdoms.
11 And they smote
all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them:
there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
12
And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua
take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them,
as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
13 But as for the
cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save
Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.
14
And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of
Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge
of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
15 ¶ As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did
Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the
LORD commanded Moses.
16
So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and
all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of
Israel, and the valley of the same;
17 Even from the
mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon
under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them,
and slew them.
18 Joshua made
war a long time with all those kings.
19 There was not
a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the
inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle.
20 For it was of
the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel
in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no
favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
21 And at that
time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from
Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the
mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
22
There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of
Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.
23 So Joshua took
the whole land, according to all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave
it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes.
And the land rested from war.
1 ¶ Now these are the kings of the land, which the
children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan
toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all
the plain on the east:
2 Sihon king of
the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of
the river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, which is the
border of the children of Ammon;
3 And from the
plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the sea of the plain, even
the salt sea on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under
Ashdothpisgah:
4
And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the
giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
5 And reigned in
mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the
Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of
Heshbon.
6
Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite:
and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites,
and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
7 ¶ And these are the kings of the country which Joshua
and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baalgad
in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that
goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel for a possession
according to their divisions;
8 In the
mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in
the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the
Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
9
The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;
10 The king of
Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;
11 The king of Jarmuth,
