Joshua 10:26-28

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁶ After this, Joshua put them to death and hung their bodies on five poles until evening. ²⁷ When the sun went down, Joshua gave the order to take them down from the poles. Then they threw them into the cave where they had been hiding and put large stones over the mouth of the cave. These stones are still there today.
