Joshua 10:2–12

²that they ^ffeared 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 mighty. ³Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying, ⁴“Come up to me and help me, that we may attack Gibeon, for ^git has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.” ⁵Therefore the five kings of the ^hAmorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, ⁱgathered together and went up, they and all their armies, and camped before Gibeon and made war against it.

⁶And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp ^jat Gilgal, saying, “Do not forsake your servants; come up to us quickly, save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the mountains have gathered together against us.”

⁷So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he and ^kall the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor. ⁸And the Lord said to Joshua, ^l“Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; ^mnot a man of them shall ⁿstand before you.” ⁹Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly, having marched all night from Gilgal. ¹⁰So the Lord ^orouted them before Israel, killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, chased them along the road that goes ^pto Beth Horon, and struck them down as far as ^qAzekah and Makkedah. ¹¹And it happened, as they fled before Israel and were on the descent of Beth Horon, ^rthat the Lord cast down large hailstones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than the children of Israel killed with the sword.

¹²Then Joshua spoke 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:

^s“Sun, stand still over Gibeon;

And Moon, in the Valley of ^tAijalon.”
