Homilies on Joshua, Homilia X · §1

Five kings against Gibeon

Adoni-zedek and five kings besiege Gibeon, Israel’s ally. They cry to Jesus; he goes up by night. The Lord throws enemies into panic; hailstones from heaven. Figure: nations against the church joined by Christ’s covenant.

Latin

Adonisedec et reges quinque obsident Gabaon foedere iunctam. Clamant ad Iesum; ascendit nocte. Dominus consternat hostes; grandines de caelo. Figura: gentes adversus ecclesiam foedere Christi adunatam.
