Joshua 10:4-15

⁴Ascend ye or Go ye up to me, and help me, that we fight against Gibeon, for it was yielded to Joshua, and to the sons of Israel.

⁵Therefore five kings of Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, were gathered, and ascended or went up together with their hosts; and setted tents against Gibeon, and fought against it.

⁶Soothly the dwellers of the city of Gibeon sent to Joshua, that dwelled then in tents at Gilgal, and said to him, Withdraw not thine hands from the help of thy servants; go up soon, and deliver us, and bring help; for all the kings of Amorites, that dwelled in the hilly places, came together against us.

⁷And Joshua went up from Gilgal, and all the host of fighters with him, the most strong men.

⁸And the Lord said to Joshua, Dread thou not them, for I have given them into thine hands; and none of them shall be able to against-stand thee.

⁹Therefore Joshua felled suddenly on them, and went up all that night from Gilgal;

¹⁰and the Lord troubled them from the face of Israel, and all-brake with great vengeance in Gibeon. And Joshua pursued them by the way of the ascending or going up of Bethhoron, and smote till to Azekah and Makkedah.

¹¹And when they fled the sons of Israel, and were in the going down of Bethhoron, the Lord sent great stones upon them from heaven, till they came to Azekah; and many more were dead by the hailstones, than they which the sons of Israel killed with sword.

¹²Then Joshua spake to the Lord, in the day in which he betook Amorites in the sight of the sons of Israel; and Joshua said before the people, Sun, be thou not moved against Gibeon, and the moon, against the valley of Ajalon.

¹³And the sun and the moon stood, unto the time the folk of God had avenged themselves of their enemies. Whether this is not written in the book of just or rightwise men? And so the sun stood in the midst of heaven, and it hasted not to go down in the space of a day;

¹⁴so long a day was not before and afterward; for the Lord obeyed to the voice of a man, and he fought for Israel.

¹⁵And Joshua turned again, with all Israel, into the tents of Gilgal.
