OET (OET-RV) Then he told them, “Don’t be afraid and don’t be dismayed. Be strong and courageous, because this is what Yahweh will do to all your enemies—including the ones that you all still have to fight.”
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
“Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said.
Then Joshua said to them: “Do not ever be afraid at all.
And Joshua said to the officers: “Do not be afraid or discouraged.
“Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said: Use whatever connecting word is natural to indicate continuing narrative action.
Do not be afraid or discouraged: The two words afraid and discouraged have a similar meaning. This command is similar to the command that Yahweh gave to Joshua in 1:9 and uses the same words that Yahweh spoke to Joshua in 8:1. These two words together indicate that the Israelites should not be afraid at all.
“Be strong and courageous,
Be strong and brave.
Be determined and have courage,
Be strong and courageous: The command Be strong and courageous repeats the words that Yahweh spoke to Joshua in 1:9. It is recommended that you translate them in the same way as 1:9 if possible.
for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.”
Yahweh will defeat all your enemies as he defeated these kings.”
because this is what Yahweh is going to do to all the people you fight against.”
for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight: The clause for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight indicates the reason that the Israelites did not have to be afraid. Yahweh will defeat all the Israelites’ enemies as he defeated the Amorite kings and their armies.
you: The pronoun you refers to the army commanders.

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Yahweh will do the same thing to all of your enemies whom you are fighting, so do not be afraid or dismayed, but be strong and courageous]
