Adonizedek king of Jerusalem came to know how Joshua had conquered and leveled Ai, doing to it and its king what he had done to Jericho and its king. He also knew how the Gibeonites had made peace with the Israelites and were living in their midst. (Joshua 10, 1)
"Come and help me conquer Gibeon for it has made a pact with Joshua and the Israelites." (Joshua 10, 4)
So the five kings of the Amorites - the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon - joined forces and set out, each one with troops. They encamped opposite Gibeon and surrounded it. (Joshua 10, 5)
The Gibeonites sent word to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal: "Do not leave us alone, but come and help us, for all the Amorite kings who live on the mountains have united against us." (Joshua 10, 6)
Joshua marched from Gilgal, journeying throughout the night and came upon the Amorites by surprise. (Joshua 10, 9)
Yahweh defeated them. The Israelites gained a great victory in Gibeon and pursued the Amorites by the slope of Beth-horon up to Azekah and Makkedah. (Joshua 10, 10)
As they were fleeing, Yahweh rained huge hailstones on them and pursued them up to Azekah, and they were killed. There were more who died because of the hailstones than by the sword of the Israelites. (Joshua 10, 11)
On that day when Yahweh gave the Amorites over to them, Joshua addressed Yahweh and said in the sight of all Israel: "Sun, stand still at Gibeon, and you, moon, in the valley of Aijalon." (Joshua 10, 12)
And the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the people had taken revenge on their enemies: so it is written in the Book of the Just, "The sun stood still in mid-heaven and did not hasten to set for almost a whole day. (Joshua 10, 13)
But the five kings fled and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah. (Joshua 10, 16)
So Joshua ordered: "Roll great stones against the entrance of the cave and set men to guard it. (Joshua 10, 18)
But do not stay there. Pursue your enemies and fall upon their rear. Do not let them return to their cities for Yahweh, our God, has placed them in our hands." (Joshua 10, 19)
