The kings of five Canaanite towns joined together to fight against Gibeon. Because the Israelites had a peace treaty with Gibeon, they helped them in their fight. Yahweh helped the Israelites by sending down hailstones on the Canaanites, and by causing the sun to stop moving so that the Israelites could continue their victory. The five Canaanite kings were captured and put to death.
Here are some other possible section headings:
Israel defeated the Canaan group
The sun stood still
Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave
¶ Joshua told his soldiers: “Now, move the rocks from the entrance to the cave
¶ Then Joshua commanded his soldiers: “Take away the rocks from the cave entrance,
Then Joshua said: The clause Joshua said indicates that Joshua gave a command to his soldiers. It may be more natural in some languages to make that information explicit. For example:
Then Joshua commanded his soldiers
Open the mouth of the cave: The clause Open the mouth of the cave indicates that Joshua commanded some of his soldiers to roll away the rocks that covered the entrance to the cave.
and bring those five kings out to me.”
and bring the five kings out to me.”
and then bring out the five kings who are hiding there.”
and bring those five kings out to me: The five kings refers to the kings of the Amorites who ran away from the battle and hid in the cave.

open DOM mouth_of of,the_cave
The author assumes that readers will understand that this means to remove the stones that were blocking the entrance to the cave. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Remove the large stones that have been sealing the opening of the cave]
10:1-43 Gibeon and its neighboring cities occupied a plateau north of Jerusalem (see study note on 7:2). With Gibeon now allied to Israel, control of the plateau and of the central hill country in the vicinity of Gibeon belonged to Israel. Throughout history, whoever has controlled the plateau has, in general, also controlled the hill country. The Canaanite kings had to conquer Gibeon or their cause was lost.
