10:1 The defeat of the Amorites

10Once King Adoni-Tsedek of Yerushalem heard that Yehoshua had captured Ay and completely destroyed it, and that he’d treated the king of Ay the same as he had treated the king of Yericho, and he heard that the Gibeonites had made peace with Israel and were now working for them, 2the people of Yerushalem were very afraid because Gibeon had been a powerful city, stronger than Ay, and all it’s warriors were powerful. 3So King Adoni-Tsedek sent to King Hoham of Hebron, King Piram of Yarmut, King Yafia of Lakish, and King Debir of Eglon, saying, 4“Come here and help me. We’ll attack Gibeon because they’ve made peace with Yehoshua and the Israelis.” 5So those five Amorite kings (from Yerushalem, Hebron, Yarmut, Lakish, and Eglon) joined together to go to Gibeon and their armies camped there to fight against it.

6The leaders of Gibeon hurriedly sent to Yehoshua in the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Don’t abandon your servants. Come quickly and help us, and save us because all the kings of the Amorites who live in the hill country have combined against us.” 7So Yehoshua and his warriors and prize fighters headed off from Gilgal, 8and Yahweh told him, “Don’t be afraid of them, because you’ll have the victory over them—none of them will be able to stand against you.”

9Yehoshua and his men spent the night moving in, and then surprised the alliance, 10and Yahweh confused them as the Israelis approached and caused them to be badly defeated at Gibeon. Then they chased them on the road going to Beyt-Horon and killed them as far as Azekah and Makkedah. 11As they fled from the Israelis on the slope down from Beyt-Horon heading towards Azekah, Yahweh hurled large hailstones down on them from the sky and they died—actually more of them died from the hail than were killed with swords by the Israelis.

12Then Yehoshua spoke to Yahweh on the day that he gave them victory over the Amorites, and in front of the Israelis he said,

“Sun, stay still over Gibeon,

and moon, over the Ayyalon Valley.

13Then the sun stood still and the moon stood still until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. (Isn’t that written about in the Jashar scroll? The sun stood still in the middle of the sky and it didn’t hurry to go around for almost a whole day.[ref] 14There had never before been a day like that, and nothing like it since then, when Yahweh listened to a man’s voice, because he was fighting for Israel.)

15Then Yehoshua and all Israel returned to their camp at Gilgal.
