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.
