OET (OET-RV) They did it and brought the five kings out from the cave—the kings of Yerushalem (Jerusalem), Hevron, Yarmut, Lakish, and Eglon.
The kings of five Canaanite towns joined together to fight against Gibeon. Because the Israelites had a peace treaty with Gibeon, they helped them in their fight. Yahweh helped the Israelites by sending down hailstones on the Canaanites, and by causing the sun to stop moving so that the Israelites could continue their victory. The five Canaanite kings were captured and put to death.
Here are some other possible section headings:
Israel defeated the Canaan group
The sun stood still
So they brought the five kings out of the cave—
So they obeyed him, and brought the five kings out from the cave.
So the soldiers brought the five kings out of the cave,
So they brought: The clause So they brought indicates that the soldiers obeyed Joshua’s command.
the five kings out of the cave: The phrase the five kings refers to the five Amorite kings who fought against the Israelites.
It is possible to combine these two clauses into one.
