Joshua 10:6-11
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.

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.
