“Wherefore Adoni–zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,”
Five kings march against Gibeon — Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying... The five cities—Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon—form a cluster of power in the southern highlands. Each king is named, individualizing them as leaders aware of the covenant threat Gibeon's defection represents. The coalition mobilizes against one of its own former allies.
