Joshua 10:2–12

²That they ^dfeared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the ^†royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty. ³Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of ^eHebron, and unto Piram king of ^fJarmuth, and unto Japhia king of ^gLachish, and unto Debir king of ^gEglon, saying, ⁴Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel. ⁵Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of ^hHebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it. ⁶And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua ⁱto the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us. ⁷So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and ^jall the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour. ⁸And the Lord said unto Joshua, ^kFear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee. ⁹Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night. ¹⁰And the Lord ^ldiscomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to ^mBeth-horon, and smote them to ⁿAzekah, and unto ^oMakkedah. ¹¹And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to ^mBeth-horon, ^pthat the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

¹²Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,

^qSun, ^†stand thou still upon Gibeon;

And thou, Moon, in the valley of ^rAjalon.
