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.

Verse 27 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.
