Joshua 10:15-28 (KJV)
Israel discovered the five Amorite kings hiding in a cave in the city of Makkedah. Joshua ordered for a stone to be placed over the cave opening while the Children of Israel pursued the enemies who God had delivered into their hand.
Time came when Joshua had the five kings removed from the cave to slay them. The kings represented Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon.
Joshua's agenda that day also included taking the city of Makkedah "...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" (v. 28).
