Joshua 10:5-15

New International Version

⁵ Then the five kings^(A) of the Amorites^(B)—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon—joined forces. They moved up with all their troops and took up positions against Gibeon and attacked it.

⁶ The Gibeonites then sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal:^(C) “Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because all the Amorite kings from the hill country have joined forces against us.”

⁷ So Joshua marched up from Gilgal with his entire army,^(D) including all the best fighting men. ⁸ The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid^(E) of them; I have given them into your hand.^(F) Not one of them will be able to withstand you.”^(G)

⁹ After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua took them by surprise. ¹⁰ The Lord threw them into confusion^(H) before Israel,^(I) so Joshua and the Israelites defeated them completely at Gibeon.^(J) Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon^(K) and cut them down all the way to Azekah^(L) and Makkedah.^{(M) 11} As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the Lord hurled large hailstones^(N) down on them,^(O) and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.

¹² On the day the Lord gave the Amorites^(P) over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:

as it is written in the Book of Jashar.^(S)

The sun stopped^(T) in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. ¹⁴ There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting^(U) for Israel!

¹⁵ Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.^(V)
