put your feet upon the necks of these kings—not as a barbarous insult, but a symbolical action, expressive of a complete victory (Deuteronomy 33:29; Psalms 110:5; Malachi 4:3).
THE FIVE KINGS HANGED. (Joshua 10:16-27)
these five kings . . . hid themselves in a cave—Hebrew, "the cave."
at Makkedah—The pursuit was continued, without interruption, to Makkedah at the foot of the western mountains, where Joshua seems to have halted with the main body of his troops while a detachment was sent forward to scour the country in pursuit of the remaining stragglers, a few of whom succeeded in reaching the neighboring cities. The last act, probably the next day, was the disposal of the prisoners, among whom the five kings were consigned to the infamous doom of being slain (Deuteronomy 20:16-17); and then their corpses were suspended on five trees till the evening.
