Joshua 10:6-11
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.

Lexham English Bible
6 And the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Do not abandon[a] your servant. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, for all the kings of the Amorites[b] who dwell in the hill country have gathered against us.” 7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the fighting men[c] with him, all the best warriors.[d] 8 And Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have given them into your hand; no one will withstand you.[e] 9 Joshua came upon them suddenly by marching up[f] all night from Gilgal. 10 And Yahweh threw them into panic before Israel, who[g] struck them with a great blow at Gibeon and pursued them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah. 11 And as they were fleeing from Israel, they were on the slope of Beth-horon, and Yahweh threw huge stones from the heavens on them as far as Azekah; and more died by the hail stones than those whom the Israelites[h] killed by the sword.
