Joshua 10:6-11
New American Standard Bible
6 Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Do not [a]abandon your servants; come up to us quickly and save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites that live in the hill country have assembled against us.” 7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and (A)all the people of war with him, and all the valiant warriors. 8 And the Lord said to Joshua, “(B)Do not fear them, for I have handed them over to you; not [b]one of them will stand against you.” 9 So Joshua came upon them suddenly [c]by marching all night from Gilgal. 10 (C)And the Lord brought them into confusion before Israel, and He struck them down in a great defeat at Gibeon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah. 11 And as they fled from Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, (D)the Lord hurled large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died; there were more who died [d]from the hailstones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword.

Joshua 10:6-11
Common English Bible
6 The people of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Don’t desert your servants! Come to us quickly. Rescue us! Help us! All the Amorite kings from the highlands have assembled together against us.” 7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal with the entire army and all the bravest soldiers.
The Lord fights for Israel
8 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid of them. I have given them into your power. Not a single one of them can stand up against you.” 9 Joshua quickly attacked them, having come up overnight from Gilgal. 10 Then the Lord threw them into a panic before Israel. Joshua struck a mighty blow against them at Gibeon. He chased them on the way up to Beth-horon and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah. 11 When they were fleeing from Israel and were on the slope of Beth-horon, the Lord threw down large stones from the sky all the way to Azekah. So they died. More died from the hailstones than the Israelites killed with the sword.

New International Version
6 The Gibeonites then sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal:(A) “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,(B) including all the best fighting men. 8 The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid(C) of them; I have given them into your hand.(D) Not one of them will be able to withstand you.”(E)
9 After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua took them by surprise. 10 The Lord threw them into confusion(F) before Israel,(G) so Joshua and the Israelites defeated them completely at Gibeon.(H) Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon(I) and cut them down all the way to Azekah(J) and Makkedah.(K) 11 As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the Lord hurled large hailstones(L) down on them,(M) and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.
