Jos 10:26 | MHM | STEP | v. 26–27 : The five kings were put to death by Joshua. Their bodies were hung until evening, then placed in the cave they had used to hide ( vv. 26, 27 ). The cave became both their prison and their grave. The story is a warning that hiding from God does not bring safety. If these kings had asked for peace earlier, they could have lived, but they waited too long.
