Wherefore Adonizedec king of Yerushalayim, sent unto Hoham king of Hevron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,
O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of TZiyon: for the transgressions of Yisrael were found in thee.
Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Yerushalayim, the king of Hevron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Givon, and made war against it.
And YY delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Yisrael; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Yericho.
And YY delivered Lachish into the hand of Yisrael, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
