Homilies on Joshua, Homilia X · §3

Kings in the cave sealed

Five kings hide in the cave at Makkedah — seal the cave. After victory they are brought out and captains set feet on their necks — spiritual foes underfoot. They are hanged on trees until evening. Glory to Jesus. Amen.

Latin

Quinque reges in spelunca Mageda absconditi — obstruite speluncam. Post victoriam educuntur et pedibus principum calcantur — hostes spiritales sub pedibus. Suspenduntur in lignis usque ad vesperam. Gloria Iesu. Amen.
