Adoni-Zedek

The Amorite king of Jerusalem at the time of the Israelite conquest of the promised land (Joshua 10:1–5). When the Amorites and Israelites fought for control of Gibeon, Joshua prayed for the sun to stand still (Joshua 10:6–15). The Israelites won a decisive victory. Adoni-zedek and four other enemy kings were discovered hiding in a cave. Joshua executed them (Joshua 10:16–27).
