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.

Christian Standard Bible
6 Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Don’t give up on your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, for all the Amorite kings living in the hill country have joined forces against us.” 7 So Joshua and all his troops, including all his best soldiers, came from Gilgal.(A)
8 The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them,(B) for I have handed them over to you.(C) Not one of them will be able to stand against you.”(D)
9 So Joshua caught them by surprise, after marching all night from Gilgal. 10 The Lord threw them into confusion(E) before Israel. He defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, chased them through the ascent of Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah. 11 As they fled before Israel, the Lord threw large hailstones on them(F) from the sky along the descent of Beth-horon all the way to Azekah, and they died. More of them died from the hail than the Israelites killed with the sword.
