Jos 10:22 | MHM | STEP | v. 22–23 : Joshua called for the five kings to be brought out of the cave. Their hiding place became a prison. God allowed them to be saved from the hail and the sword so they could be given a public judgment ( vv. 22, 23 ). This was like how Pharaoh was kept alive for God’s purposes (Exodus 9:16 ).
