And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 26 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.
