EasyEnglish Bible

²⁶ Then Joshua killed the five kings with his sword. He hung their bodies on five trees. They remained there until evening time.

²⁷ At sunset, Joshua told his men to take the kings down from the trees. They threw them into the cave where they had been hiding. They put big stones over the front of the cave. The stones are still there today.
