The kings brought before Joshua — They brought those five kings out to him from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. The repeated naming of the five kings emphasizes their individual importance and the comprehensiveness of their defeat. Each king is identified by his city, making clear that Joshua is not merely dealing with scattered leaders but with the heads of the southern coalition.
