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.

Verse 23 is found in chapter 10 of Joshua. The kings are executed and hung on trees until evening, after which they are placed in the cave where they had hidden. The account emphasizes the reversal of their situation: those who sought refuge end up becoming a sign of defeat. Their collective burial under a great stone transforms the place into a memorial. The scene belongs to the judicial and military language of conquest and shows the culmination of the campaign against the principal enemy rulers.

Sie taten also und brachten die fünf Könige zu ihm aus der Höhle: den König zu Jerusalem, den König zu Hebron, den König zu Jarmuth, den König zu Lachis, den König zu Eglon.
E hiciéronlo así, y sacáronle de la cueva aquellos cinco reyes: al rey de Jerusalem, al rey de Hebrón, al rey de Jerimoth, al rey de Lachîs, al rey de Eglón.
Ils firent ainsi, et lui amenèrent les cinq rois qu'ils avaient fait sortir de la caverne, le roi de Jérusalem, le roi d'Hébron, le roi de Jarmuth, le roi de Lakis, le roi d'Eglon.
E così fu fatto. E que’ cinque re furono tratti fuori della spelonca, e menati a Giosuè, cioè: il re di Gerusalemme, il re di Hebron, il re di Iarmut, il re di Lachis, e il re di Eglon.
Fizeram, pois, assim, e trouxeram-lhe aqueles cinco reis para fora da cova: o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebrom, o rei de Jarmute, o rei de Laquis e o rei de Eglom.
眾人就這樣做,把那五個王,就是 耶路撒冷 王、 希伯崙 王、 耶末 王、 拉吉 王和 伊磯倫 王,從洞裏帶出來,到 約書亞 那裏。
