later he commanded to serve and carry wood for the people. Against these the Amorites marched as if they were deserters, five kings of the Jebusites, of whom the first was Adonibezek king of Jerusalem with his armies. against whom Joshua went up with Israel and delivered the Gibeonites, but cut down the fleeing Amorites with their 170 kings. who also, having been caught hiding in a cave, were shut up there until the war ceased. where many were cut down by Israel, but more died from hailstones cast down upon them from heaven. then Joshua, praying with divine power, made the sun stand still over Gibeon and the moon over the valley of Aijalon, until he had defeated the enemies. and bringing the εʹ kings out of the cave, he commanded the leaders of the war of the sons of Israel to tread upon their necks, and he killed them and took their cities, which were five, Makkedah and Libnah, Lachish, and the king of Gezer, Horam, who was helping those in Lachish, and Adullam and Hebron. then he also took Debir and its king and its villages and all the hill country. And Jabin the king of Hazor, having gathered the kings around him and great Sidon, and the Canaanites from the north and from the plain and from the coastal regions of the east, and the Horites and the Amorites and the Hivites and the Jebusites and the Perizzites and the Hittites under the desert, being many as the sand of the sea and mighty in chariots and horses, came to fight against Joshua; whom he took and destroyed them all, plundering them and their cities. all the kings whom the Lord delivered to Joshua were κθʹ, whose names are written in a book. And Joshua was old, advanced in years, and the Lord commanded him, and he allotted all the land to the θʹ #171 tribes, he and Eleazar the high priest, before the Lord in Shiloh. and to Joshua was given Timnath in the mountain of Ephraim, and to Caleb son of Jephunneh, on his asking, was given Hebron, who also wiped out the three sons of Anak, who are called giants. and to Othniel his kinsman, son of Kenaz the younger, who took the city of letters, Kiriath-sepher in Debir, Caleb gave Achsah his own daughter as a prize to be his wife. 171 And the two and a half tribes of Reuben and of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned to their own possessions, which Moses had given them, where they went and raised an altar; against whom those from the θʹ #171 tribes, wishing to make war as against those sinning against God because they were making an offering outside the ark, ceased after the two and a half tribes defended themselves with reverence, and they named the altar among them a witness. and μηʹ cities were also given to the Levites. then Joshua, having gathered all Israel with the rulers, sent them away after giving much exhortation concerning piety. And he himself died, having lived ριʹ years, and they buried him in Timnath-serah in the mountain of Ephraim within his borders, burying with him also the stone knives.

ὕστερον διακονεῖν καὶ ξυλοφορεῖν τῷ λαῷ προσέταξε. Τούτοις Ἀμορραῖοι ἐπεστράτευσαν ὡς αὐτομολήσασι πέντε βασιλεῖς τῶν Ἰεβουσαίων, ὧν ἦν πρῶτος Ἀδωνιβεζὲκ βασιλεὺς Ἱερουσαλὴμ σὺντοῖς στρατεύμασι. πρὸς οὓς ἀναβὰς Ἰησοῦς σὺν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ Γαβαωνίτας μὲν ἐλυτρώσατο, τοὺς δὲ Ἀμορραίους κατέκοψε φεύγοντας σὺν τοῖς βασι 170 λεῦσιν αὐτῶν. οἳ καὶ ἐν σπηλαίῳ κρυβόμενοι καταληφθέντες ἐκεῖ κατε κλείσθησαν ἕως κατέπαυσεν ὁ πόλεμος. ἔνθα πολλοὶ μὲν ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ κατεκόπησαν, πλείονες δὲ λίθοις χαλάζης οὐρανόθεν ἐπιρριπτομένοις αὐτοῖς ἀπέθανον. τότε θείᾳ δυνάμει προσευξάμενος Ἰησοῦς ἔστησε τὸν ἥλιον κατὰ Γαβαὼν καὶ τὴν σελήνην κατὰ φάραγγα Αἰλών, ἕως ἐξε πολέμησε τοὺς ἐχθρούς. καὶ ἐξαγαγὼν τοὺς εʹ βασιλεῖς ἐκ τοῦ σπη λαίου προσέταξε τοὺς ἀρχηγοὺς τοῦ πολέμου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ κατα πατῆσαι τοὺς τραχήλους αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς καὶ παρέλαβε τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν, αἳ ἦσαν αὐτοῖς πέντε, Μακηδὰ καὶ Λόμνα, Λαχείς, καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Γαζὲρ Ἱαρὰμ βοηθοῦντα τοῖς ἐν Λαχείς, τήν τε Ὀδολλὰμ καὶ τὴν Χεβρών. τότε παρέλαβε καὶ τὴν ∆αβεὶρ καὶ τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ὀρεινήν. Ἰαβεὶν δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσὼρ ἀθροίσας τοὺς περὶ αὐτόν τε καὶ Σιδῶνα τὴν μεγάλην βασιλεῖς, τούς τε ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ τῆς πεδινῆς καὶ τοὺς ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν παραλίους Χαναναίους, Χορραίους τε καὶ Ἀμορραίους καὶ Εὐαίους καὶ Ἰεβουσαίους καὶ Φερεζαίους καὶ Χετταίους τοὺς ὑπὸ τὴν ἔρημον, πολλοὺς ὄντας ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ δυνατοὺς ἐν ἅρ μασι καὶ ἵπποις, ἦλθε πολεμῆσαι πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν· οὓς πάντας παρα λαβὼν ἀνεῖλε σκυλεύσας αὐτοὺς καὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν. πάντες οἱ βασι λεῖς οὓς παρέδωκε κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῦ κθʹ, ὧν τὰ ὀνόματα γέγραπται ἐν βίβλῳ. Ἰησοῦς δὲ πρεσβύτερος προβεβηκώς, καὶ προσέταξεν αὐτῷ κύριος, καὶ ἐκληροδότησε πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ταῖς θʹ #171 φυλαῖς, αὐτὸς καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἀρχιερεύς, ἔναντι κυρίου ἐν Σιλώμ. τῷ δὲ Ἰησοῦ ἐδόθη Θαμναθὰ ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραίμ, καὶ τῷ Χαλὲβ υἱῷ Ἰεφοννὴ αἰτήσαντι ἐδόθη Χεβρών, ὃς καὶ ἐξήλειψε τοὺς τρεῖς υἱοὺς Ἐνάκ, τοὺς καλουμένους γίγαντας. τῷ δὲ Γο θονοὴλ ὁμομητρίῳ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ υἱῷ Κενὲζ τῷ νεωτέρῳ, καταλαβομένῳ τὴν πόλιν τῶν γραμμάτων Καριαθσεφαρεὶ ἐν ∆αβείρ, Ὀξὰν ἔπαθλον τὴν ἑαυτοῦ θυγατέρα δέδωκε Χαλὲβ εἰς γυναῖκα. 171 Αἱ δὲ δύο ἥμισυ φυλαὶ τοῦ Ῥουβὴν καὶ τοῦ Γὰδ καὶ ἥμισυ φυλῆς Μανασ σῆ εἰς τὰς οἰκείας κατασχέσεις ἐπανῆλθον, ἃς ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς, ἔνθα γενόμενοι θυσιαστήριον ἤγειραν· οἷς πολεμῆσαι βουληθέντες οἱ ἀπὸ τῶν θʹ #171 φυλῶν ὡς ἁμαρτάνουσιν εἰς θεόν, ὅτι ποιοῦσιν ἔξω τῆς κιβωτοῦ προσφοράν, ἐπαύσαντο μετ' εὐλαβείας ἀπολογησαμένων τῶν δύο ἥμισυ φυλῶν, καὶ τὸ παρ' αὐτοῖς θυσιαστήριον μαρτύριον προσηγόρευον. ἐδό θησαν δὲ καὶ τοῖς Λευίταις πόλεις μηʹ. τότε Ἰησοῦς συναγαγὼν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἅπαντα σὺν τοῖς ἄρχουσι πλεῖστα παραινέσας περὶ θεοσεβείας ἐξαπ έστειλεν. αὐτὸς δὲ ἐτελεύτησε ζήσας ἔτη ριʹ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν Θαμνα σαρὰχ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ἐφραῒμ ἐν ὁρίοις αὐτοῦ, συνθάψαντες αὐτῷ καὶ τὰς πετρίνας μαχαίρας.
