Joshua 10:26–27

26After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five treesf and left them there until evening. 27At sunset Joshua ordered that they be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave in which they had hidden. Then large stones were placed against the mouth of the cave, and the stones are there to this day.
