Duggar #19 on the Way

How awful of them to be doing this. If everybody (or 1/5th of the people) were this determined to take over all the space in the world we'd have a nightmarish future.

Actors are expensive and Reality TV kids are cheap.

We will have a nightmarish future. At current rates of fertility, there will be 50-100 billion people on the earth by 2100, with the USA being about 1.2 billion. By 2250, at current rates of fertility, there would be 134 trillion living humans, but there is not enough carbon in the galaxy for that to happen.

We do not need to sleep to experience this nightmare. We are already living it.

@felixthecat

Wake me up when the world is about to end, I want to make sure I have my video camera ready.

Gawd people. Vagina's aren't clown cars!

Gah scratch that apostrophe.

soon they will learn that contraception is not the devil

This family has no debt and can provide. If they were on welfare or some sort of public aid, then I'd criticize them. It is the people who have babies and don't marry so they can get both State Aid and Earned Income Credit on their taxes who anger me.

You have to be single to get the Earned Income Credit? That's a new one on me.

I love the way people assume the fertility rates will continue the same way until people are falling off the planet. It's starting to decline already in developed nations. It will get higher, yes, but it will hit a plateau and then a gradual decline. The resources we have or will develop couldn't support 50 billion let alone 100 billion.

I would also like to comment that this lady's vagine must be really tore up.

Calm down, people. As long as they can provide for them all, and it isn't being done against either parents will, I see nothing wrong with this.

From my understanding of what I've read, they seem to be a functional, healthy family. I wonder to what degree the children are missing out on things as they have to raise their younger siblings, but it's probably not so horrible. We can't possibly know because we aren't living their situation.

Growing up on Whidbey Island, there was a huge (14 kids) ultra-conservative Christian family that ran a farm in the middle of bum-f-nowhere. I had a friend who was close to the family, and so I spent some time around them. Now those people were totally crazy. Locked the kids in their rooms at night. Hit their 17 year old with a belt if she didn't answer their call within 10 seconds. I, personally, would have killed my parents if they were that way. The kids were brainwashed beyond belief. The family was also adherent to the idea that there had to be a plentiful supply of little God-warriors streaming from their loins. Every single one of the kids is now emotionally screwed beyond belief. Good job, you putz parents.

Disgusting.

Birthrates are dropping very quickly and very few first world nations have a positive birthrate. In fact, last time I checked, the US was the *ONLY* first world nation who has a positive birthrate.

We're NOT going to have 50-100 billion people by 2100. Odds are we'll peak at 10 billion, if that. The UN projects we peak at just over 7 billion at 2040, and then start going down from there.

See:
http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/longrange2/WorldPop2300final.pdf

They can provide for their many, many children? Great. But can the planet provide for them? Or for us? This is freaking obscene. I feel guilty for the one child I allowed myself for the legacy he's destined to inherit, but eight-freaking-teen? ENOUGH. I volunteer to perform the vasectomy (or castration). No charge...

IT'S A VAGINA NOT A CLOWN CAR!

they look so happy! it's great to have a large family

the state of that woman's vagina must be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway...

I just wonder how much attention each kid really gets from the parents. and talk about "middle child" syndrome. lol

I understand that ppl love children, but when is enough enough?
and yes, I agree with what someone else said. there is NO WAY that the parents are able to care for that many kids. so they rely on the older siblings. kinda sad. they aren't able to enjoy all of the things normal kids get to experience. but, to their credit, they are probably more mature than other kids their age. the question is....... is that a good thing? kids need to be kids.

And I also agree.... that lady must sneeze and a baby just pops right out. like throwing a hot dog down a hallway. he he he

and I'm pretty sure I count 19 kids. thought the article said she's pregnant with her 19th?
maybe the guy and girl in the rear, center of pic, are married? the ones expecting the first grandchild.

"Surprised to find herself pregnant"? With all that experience, has she not worked out what's causing it yet?

I grew up as the oldest in a family of twelve - nine of which were adopted. I never felt "burdened" by having to watch my younger siblings - actually, it was amazing to be able to make memories with my brothers and sisters... things that we still talk about. We weren't hermits - I was able to spend time with my friends, be involved in sports, and travel. Not a single one of my siblings would wish that things had been different in our family growing up. I believe wholeheartedly that the Duggars, unlike the Octo-mom, are instilling in their kids much more maturity than their peers.

Come on. Is this necessary? Since when is childbearing a contest? If so, let's just declare them the winners. Grand prize: one free spay or neuter operation.

Don't care if the Duggars can pay their way. Don't care if they're happy. It's just more people ahead of me in line at the movies. And when they all grow up, 19 more cars ahead of me at the Wendy's drive-thru...

It seems to me that they might consider adopting children instead of just making more at this point. They have some kids of their own to pass on their family name and genetic line. Here in Arkansas where I live (and the Duggars do,too), there are lots of kids in foster care and/or state custody that need either a temporary home or a permanent family. If the Duggars still have extra time, money, love, and guidance that they want to share with more little ones, why not share it with ones that are already in the world and in need of a family?

Religion will kill us all off before the population kills the earth.

I don't think money or overpopulation are really issues here...my question is: is it really possible to give each of their 18 children all the personal attention they require/deserve? I just don't see how they could be there for the emotional and guidance needs of 18+ children.

Geesh, he says screw you as they pass in the hallway and she gets preggers. Enough is enough. I have no doubt all those kids raise the younger ones missing out on so much of their childhood. Not to mention finding quality time with mom and dad. It just can't be there!

Absolutely ridiculous. If they can provide for them finacially, then great... but what about on a more personal, emotional, bonding level?

skipweasle: she's surprised because women normally can't conceive while nursing. Remember, this is a family that practices only traditional forms of birth control, which means abstaining or nursing until ready to have another baby.

She's obviously incredibly fertile and the father must have silver bullets for sperm.

While the idea of having 18 children is rather disgusting, there is nothing wrong with this if that is what they want. I just wouldn't want to live in that house. I like my privacy.

By the way, the World's arable land can only sustain about 2 billion people without the aid of hydrocarbons such as coal or oil to create fertilizers. When we run out of those resources, if we have not made decent energy advances, you can expect to see starvation on a mass scale.

they like J names, i've got one.....JUST STOP!!

I think it is horrible!

I totally agree with anyone who thinks we should try and stop population growth. I think all those people should heed their own advice and not have children. They really shouldn't be parents anyway, and then their ignorant views won't be passed on. It's a win win!

@Briannana
LOL. Haven't heard "bum-f-nowhere" in a few years.

As Germs said "Get off her".

Dashon - "normally" is rather a wide word. I know at least two women in my daughter's school who have children less than nine months apart. It's quite common - probably because people think it doesn't happen and fail to take evasive action.

If the family had 19 dogs, they'd be taken away by the ASPCA. 19 kids? No problem!

Actually, is the reason they can provide for all these kids due mainly to the fact that they have made their children reality TV fodder? In fact, if they don't keep having them, the money will probably dry right up.

They only "provide" for their herd because they get donations from other Quiverfull cult members.

how the hell does he even manage to have an orgasm in that vagina? I'd think they're too religious for her to jack him off into herself...I mean wtf...

I agree with the statement about adopting or fostering children...one of the many reasons I refuse to even have one biological child.

Damn hoarders.

Btw: you toatally CAN CONCEIVE while nursing -- it's a myth that you can't

Btw: you totally CAN CONCEIVE while nursing -- it's a myth that you can't

Stupid is as stupid does...

Who is raising the kids anyway? The other older kids? What morons. No, I take that back, what sub-morons. Nice female mullets btw.

We are talking about CURRENT fertility rates, not rates from a decade ago, or twenty years ago. C.U.R.R.E.N.T. At current rates, the population is projected at 50 billion in 90 years.

As for the hyper-optimistic "Ooer-population is a myth" pollyanna cheerleaders, brought to you by the chambers of commerce and the religious fundamentalists, their "science" is based more on hope and less on reality. Putting aside the economic hype and religious hoopla, over-population is most definitely not a myth.

Still, it is more comforting to hide from the nightmare than take the hard steps now that will someday be crucial to our survival.

There are a lot of DISGUSTING people on here.

How about MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN KIDS, VAGINA, AND ORGASMS!!

For example, the "over-population is a myth" group cited above is just a pro-life religious front group frequently cited by the likes of Pat Robertson. They claim that Texas alone can hold 7-8 billion and then the rest of the world can presumably hold hundreds of billions more.

Maybe it would be possible to live like that, eating sterilized bacteria slurry and drinking reprocessed urine and sweat. Animals don't matter, do they? Plants don't matter, do they? A decent quality of life is of no concern as long as we can churn out babies to make Baby Jesus happy.

It is a sick twisted theology, one with no responsibility for the needs of this planet.

Like sleeve of wizard.

I love when the Duggar's get pregnant. Only then do I see everyone talk about overpopulation and clown carginas.

Hehe! "Cargina"

Actually, I happily talk about over-population all the time. The problem is, no one wants to discuss it because what can be done about it. Sure, a ruthless totalitarian state can do something, but what about democracies? In the future, I, the amazing Felix predict, as the world is falling apart into anarchy, it will be only the totalitarian countries that will preserve some semblance of civilization. It will be too late for the ostrich nations like the USA.

Sad.

I loathe these people. I really hate what TLC has done to families with many children. These religious zealots should fade back into obscurity and continue to do their whacked out cult things and home schooling their ignorant children. I saw a couple of pictures of their house, one bedroom for all of the boys, one bedroom for all of the girls. Look at that picture of them, not one of them has an ounce of individuality. Having this many kids in this day and age should be a sin. Absolutely disgusting.

i couldn't care less how many children they have but why are they doing a reality show?!

DUMB.....just because you can,doesn't mean you should!!

Hey, I know, if you're so worried that the world is spinning out of control, why don't you climb into some of those left over bunkers from when people who feared they'd be dead by now because of nukes built some sweet little dugouts to hide in.

I bet the people who are so worried about over population also worry about the deaths caused by lack of food, clean water, and diseases developing countries suffer from too. Don't those worries actually cancel each other out? And don't forget global warming! The world is going to have such drastic climate changes that half of us are bound to die off anyway, so the over population problem will be solved.

Don't worry your self to death – although that would actually be a step in the direction of reducing the population...

They only give names that start with "J" to their kids. Here's a few, free of charge. Jerk, Jackass and Jezebel.

@Travis

Ummmm... no, I don't think that I'll either hide or worry myself to death, but thank you for the ideas. Your response is typical of the "let's just ignore the problem and hope that it will go away" sheep-crowd. My death would do nothing to reduce the population.

Still, I understand your fear paralysis, but pick yourself up from the dirt and do something.

Wow...there are a lot of narrow-minded, hostile posts here from people who probably consider themselves enlightened and "progressive".

@Felixthecat

There is no problem here, but Africa has a pretty bad. If only the Catholic priests would get their act together and start promoting condom use and not filling the population with religious BS. Problem is, most of the kids die from starvation or born with AIDS. As for North America, food is over produced, but wasted to a high degree to keep the economy steady. Population has nothing to do with it, it's incompetence as running a system based on greed and consumerism over humanity, but people are just fine and dandy with the way things are. Sure, I think the anti-choice jokers are full of themselves too. The problem right now isn't about the quantity of life, it's about the quality of life.

I like how she's 'surprised' by the latest pregnancy. You'd think that after 18 kids, she'd figured it out by now!

I defer to Mr. Michael Judge and the first ten minutes of his 2005 film 'Idiocracy' for some perspective on a situation like this.

Why has this woman not been sterilized for the benefit of all mankind?

For crissakes somebody give that man a vasectomy already!

Disgusting.

maybe someone should let the wife in on this info

I laugh at all the people who sing the praises of totalitarian regimes with population control, and yet continue to live in more free countries.

If you are so concerned about overusing the earth's resources, then stop using them yourself.

@mutatedjellyfish:

That site is just a front for an anti-abortion agenda. Very deceptive of you.

@ Nimitz : ROTFLMAO!

Really... what is the point of doing that?

I wonder if these parents are able to really parent their kids. I mean, giving them all the attention children require AND DESERVE. It's easy to raise 100 kids by letting Cartoon Network, Discovery Kids and the like do all the jobs, but it takes skill to be a proper parent.

It's hard enough to properly raise 2-3 kids... would is it like to raise 19?

What these happy people do is their business. Our only son would be thrilled with a few siblings maybe even 18. I lost 2 babies before birth and we feel a great loss. I'm in favor of adoption or fostering and tried it but the faulty, unfriendly adoption system in US places many obstacles in the way of successful adoptions. Don't concern yourselves with dangers of over-population because God has His method of population control. Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation - 2 Peter 3:3 & 4. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up - 2 Peter 3:10. Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3. PREPARE TO MEET GOD.

If you read the article, it briefly mentions the Quiverful movement. If you read about this "movement" it will probably scare you, it did me. These people feel that having many children and raising them to be devout Christians is the way that Christianity can claim the world, starting a type of New World Order. I have no problem with people having as many children as they can support on their own; however, my issue is that these people feel the have an OBLIGATION to procreate like rabbits. If you multiply that 18, soon to be 19, and each of them have at least 5 children, you're looking an additional 95 people in this world. I think we need to be a little more conscientious of others in the world.

An additional 95 people in the world!! Augh! One more than that and the earth will be so heavy it will slip out of orbit! When my wife and I had our second child a few months ago, we thougt long and hard about all the other people in the world. You know-- to be conscientious and all that. I mean, after all, there's some guy in outer Mongolia that I don't know, but have some strange obligation to make sure that everything is peachy for him by limiting the size of my family on the the other side of the world. But as you can see, our choice was "screw him".

"I wonder if these parents are able to really parent their kids. I mean, giving them all the attention children require AND DESERVE. It’s easy to raise 100 kids by letting Cartoon Network, Discovery Kids and the like do all the jobs, but it takes skill to be a proper parent."

Actually, the kids aren't allowed to watch TV. They have videos that they'll watch occasionally, but TV is definitely not raising them.

I have seen the show a few times, and while it's not a choice I'd make (and certainly not the religious aspect since I'm atheist), the kids seem intelligent, well-adjusted, and loved....and a few of them even have snarky senses of humor that would fit right in here.

Some of you are acting like everyone is soon going to be having this many kids. Would it be bad if everyone in the world decided to have 19 kids? Yes. However, that's clearly not the case. The scads of people who have decided to NOT have kids offset the few that decide to have a dozen.

@Felixthecat - post 56

Did you actually say that the people "ignoring" the problem have a fear paralysis? Have you ever heard the story of chicken little? It's the people who desperately need the crisis de jour so they can then pretend like they're doing something to change it that love to live in fear. We're talking about one family doing their own thing here, and lucky for them they have the freedom to do it. Other countries that really do have a population problem have families that have been forced to live the way their leaders dictate to them.

Our media loves to feed the crazy fear appetite so many Americans have. Whether it's bird flu, swine flu, global warming, global cooling, holes in the ozone, nuclear threat, terrorist threat, immigration threat, job outsource, industrialization (we used to be an agrarian society not that long ago), the list goes on and on. Yes there are problems in the world, and yes it's good to be aware of them, but getting upset at one family in the U.S. over having too many kids is so misguided. It's a shame that the people who really do dwell on "change" and "making a difference" focus their attention in the wrong direction.

@Felixthecat

"It is a sick twisted theology, one with no responsibility for the needs of this planet."

Just a quick response this statement:

I wonder if the dinosaurs felt stupid as the went extinct. "Why didn't we think about the needs of this planet! Why were we so foolish and provoke that meteor!" Or climate change, or pole shift, or whatever. Humans are a blink of the eye in the planets lifetime. We are a blip. A speck. What is large is your ego.

Honestly, it's nice that you have such a concern for your planet. You should really check out the north pole or death valley and contemplate what we can do to make those areas more hospitable. Maybe those extra 18 Duggars could live there if we figured out at way to make it nice. Then they wouldn't be such a burden to the rest of us.

Wow people, here you are talking about the maturity level of these kids but I wonder at your own. All the talk of the mom's vagina? Seriously, the people who screw around with a bunch of different guys all the time are in far worse shape, I'm sure.

And over-population IS a myth.

I am from a homeschooling, Christian, family of 5. One thing that I see alot of is critisism, and I think this critisism is coming from alot of unbelieving, public schoolers. As a 15 yr old home schooler, take my advice as someone who knows. :)
I have 2 things to point out-
This family is totally happy, allll of these kids are completely happy!!!!!!!!!! How many of your kids love their siblings, and devote 1/2 of their day to aiding the parents in the younger siblings upbringing?

I thought Allen Millyard had the biggest balls of them all, but Jim Bob Duggar sure seems to have the Lord on his side.

if my parents forbid me to wear anything that doesn't resemble grandma's clothes, i would kill myself.

The thing is they look so cookie-cutter similar for a group of 20-odd people.

I knew a guy from a 16-child family. They lived on a farm, and that's the biggest reason for it. Kids are cheap labour, and there's always one falling into a combine or getting kicked by the horse.

I love the Bible-thumping justification. The intent of Jesus' commandment to go forth and multiply meant that the early Christians were to evangelize and transform the world, not just have a bunch of sex and continue the US vs THEM mentality.

Real evangelists would try to help other people's kids improve, not just breed their own to compensate.

The thing that bothers me the most is the people that are like, wow what a miracle, what a blessing!!!! It's not. It's science..you have sex enough, you'll get pregnant. Billions of humans seriously isn't enough?

It's amazing to observe the hatred that gushes forth whenever this family is discussed. Since the same antidepressant-addled, dysfunctionally-raised urban lib-tards who loathe and despise this kind, polite family would never express the same contempt for a MEXICAN WOMAN with thirteen children (or any of her eight sisters with just as many), the glaring double-standard would seem to suggest that that the Duggar-hatred is based at least partly in ENVY. YOUR parents could hardly raise three kids without turmoil, debt and failure, and yet these people do it with a smile.

As a city-dwelling AGNOSTIC ENVIRONMENTALIST, I say RIGHT ON!

Right now, the problem isn't just too many people, it's also TOO FEW of the RIGHT people, the sort who can actually support themselves, behave civilly, roll up their sleeves and solve the sort of problems we'll be up to our necks in thanks to wild breeding of human garbage. Or do you insist that you actually care about overpopulation? Then have a look at NUMBERSUSA. Or go tell it to a charity that feeds third-world children whose parents cannot.

Ironically, the people who *conscientiously* 'opt-out' of reproduction are the ones with the GENES that code for a conscientious disposition. The same genes tend to code for the sort of ingenuity that precipitated the last few hundred years' technology explosion, and the sort of ingenuity we'll need to manage this planet as the THIRD WORLD applies that technology ever more recklessly.

Seems "HATE" is OK as long as it's directed at Whitey.

I love the "mind you're own business crowd" these people have a reality show they made their business everyone's fun time. I'd love to mind my own business, live my own life and never hear another word about these selfish people. This isn't NEWS get if they want privacy they should get off the air.

A vagina isn't a clown car, her's is a slip and slide.

Someone needs to tell them how babies are made.

Can you spay and nueter these people. If they want more children, adopt!!

Lay off of them! They love their children and love having children. What in the world is so wrong with that? When did it become a bad thing to have children and to enjoy doing it? This world is so screwed up.. I admire them for the wonderful parents they are and for the examples they set for the world. They are extremely giving, loving people & give to their community constantly. They are raising children that will grow up to give to their communities..
What's so wrong with that???

I like most everything felixthecat has written here. It really is a great thing that first world countries are getting generally better educated with the consequent drop in birth rate that ensues. Third world countries are still the worst overpopulation offenders. In some African countries women average five successful(surviving)offspring. Many poor African women wish they could afford and have access to birth control. We in the first world should help more but right wing legislation has limited the U.S. in assisting third world countries with birth control since the Reagan era. Hopefully Obama is working on the Global Gag order.

Anyway, the world would be a ecologically healthier place if there were only 3 billion humans. At 6 billion we are seeing the disappearance of too many wonderful plant and animal species..like the Yangtze river dolphin, gone, after they built the 3 gorges hydroelectric dam for the aprox. 1 billion living in China. By the way, the leading cause of death in China is now cancer. China is becoming industrialized in an effort to have material goods for it's billion. I want my two sons to live in a world worth living in. Quality of life on my (not just the Duggars') planet earth matters to me.

Both my sons I had by cesarean. I was really happy with that after because I couldn't imagine what having babies naturally would have done to my stuff down there. I can't even imagine one 7 or 8 lb. baby coming out of my vagina! Having 18 babies from one "little" vagina would make sex not so nice me thinks. I imagine our boring Mr. Duggar must courageously sing "Hi ho hi ho it's off to work we go" during every valiant effort at monopolizing the human gene pool.

It is somewhat unbelievable that she is pregnant again. I actually didn't know that there is a grandkid on the way, either. Not just from the nursing perspective, but also from a TV viewer, I hope nothing negative/unhealthy happens to the baby or the family.

Someone fuckin sterilize these people god damn it.

2 kids is enough.

19 is taking the absolute piss.

Freaks.

Cruelty and Violence in the Bible!!!

Joshua

# "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
Donald Rumsfeld sent this verse to inspire the troops during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. 1:9

# God "magnifies" Joshua and promises to "without fail" drive out all the inhabitants of the lands through which they passed. 3:7

# "And the city shall be accursed ... and all that therein, to the Lord: only Rahab the harlot shall live." God explains that Rahab is to be spared since she hid Joshua's spies and lied to those who were searching for them (2:4-5). But why was everyone else killed? Some of them were probably liars too. 6:17

# "And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword." 6:21

# After killing everyone, "they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein." Only the valuables (silver, gold, brass, and iron) did they keep to "put into the treasury of the house of the Lord." 6:24

# Joshua says that those who try to rebuild Jericho will be accursed by God, and will have to sacrifice both their oldest and their youngest sons in its construction. Well, Jericho still exists today, and is often considered to be the world's oldest, continuously occupied city. 6:26

# God tells Joshua to kill whoever took "the accursed thing." 7:10-12

# If you happen to see "the accursed thing," don't touch it. If you do, you, your family, and all of your animals must be burned. 7:15

# "And Joshua ... took Achan ... and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his sheep... And all of Israel stoned them with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones." This is because Achan "took of the accursed thing" -- whatever that means. But why would God require that Achan's sons and daughters (and even his animals) be stoned to death along with him? The Bible doesn't say. But it does tell us that "the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger" when Achan, his children, and his animals were stoned to death and their dead bodies burned. 7:24-26

# "When ye have taken the city [Ai] ... ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD. 8:8

# "They smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape." 8:22

# "When Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field ... all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword." 8:24

# "All that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand." 8:25

# Joshua hangs the king of Ai on a tree until evening. 8:29

# After Joshua kills all the inhabitants of Ai, burns their city, and hangs their king on a tree, he kills some animals and burns them as a "peace offering" to his warlike God. 8:31

# God curses the Gibeonites to be slaves of the Jews forever. 9:21-27

# "And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand."
God delivers the Amorites into Joshua's hand (so he can kill them all). 10:8

# "And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way."
God slaughters the Amorites and even chases them along the way. 10:10

# "The LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them ... and they died."
As the Amorites try to escape, God sends down huge hailstones and kills even more of them. 10:11

# In a divine type of daylight savings time, God makes the sun stand still so that Joshua can get all his killing done before dark. 10:12-13

# God tells Joshua to "pursue after your enemies and smite the hindmost of them." (Kick their butts.) Don't let any of them escape "for the Lord your God hath delivered them into your hand." 10:19

# Joshua tells his captains to "put your feet upon the necks of these kings." He says, "thus shall the Lord do to all of your enemies." Then Joshua kills the kings and hangs them on trees. 10:24-26

# "Put your feet upon the necks of these kings." 10:24

# "Thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies." 10:25

# "Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees." 10:25
