10 As soon as Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, heard how Joshua had captured Ai and had devoted it to destruction,[a] doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king,
and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them,
2 he[b] feared greatly,
because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were warriors.
