And Joshua said, roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, etc.] To keep the kings in, that they might not make their escape, until he had convenient time to have them brought before him, and be treated by him as they deserved; and no doubt there were plenty of stones about the hill or mountain, in which this cave was, fit for this purpose: and set men by it for to keep them; as a guard upon them, to prevent their escape.
