¹² And Zebah and Zalmunna went in flight; and he went after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and put all the army to the curse.

¹¹ Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna:

¹⁶ But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah.

¹⁷ And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah.

¹⁸ And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:

²² Then Joshua said, Take away the stones from the mouth of the hole in the rock, and make those five kings come out to me.

²³ And they did so, and made those five kings come out of the hole to him, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

²⁴ And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near and put their feet on their necks.

²⁵ And Joshua said to them, Have no fear and do not be troubled; be strong and take heart: for so will the Lord do to all against whom you make war.

¹⁶ With him are strength and wise designs; he who is guided into error, together with his guide, are in his hands;

¹⁷ He takes away the wisdom of the wise guides, and makes judges foolish;

¹⁸ He undoes the chains of kings, and puts his band on them;

¹⁹ He makes priests prisoners, overturning those in safe positions;

²⁰ He makes the words of responsible persons without effect, and takes away the good sense of the old;

²¹ He puts shame on chiefs, and takes away the power of the strong;

¹⁹ Who has no respect for rulers, and who gives no more attention to those who have wealth than to the poor, for they are all the work of his hands.

¹⁴ And flight will be impossible for the quick-footed, and the force of the strong will become feeble, and the man of war will not get away safely:

¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the chief captains, and the men of wealth, and the strong, and every servant and free man, took cover in the holes and the rocks of the mountains;

¹⁶ And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Come down on us, covering us from the face of him who is seated on the high seat, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, come together to make war against him who was seated on the horse and against his army.

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did the signs before him, by which they were turned from the true way who had the mark of the beast, and who gave worship to his image: these two were put living into the sea of ever-burning fire.

²¹ And the rest were put to death with the sword of him who was on the horse, even the sword which came out of his mouth: and all the birds were made full with their flesh.
