OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_ascended Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) from (the)_Gilgāl he and_all the_people_of (the)_war with_him/it and_all/each/any/every the_mighty_men_of (the)_strength.
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
The Israelites defended the Gibeonites against their enemies.
So Joshua and his whole army,
So Joshua with all his soldiers,
So Joshua and his entire army,
Joshua and his whole army: The phrase his whole army refers the Israelite soldiers. These soldiers went with Joshua to fight against the Amorites.
including all the mighty men of valor,
including those who were strongest and bravest,
including his best warriors,
all the mighty men of valor: The phrase mighty men of valor refers to the strongest and bravest soldiers in the Israelite army.
Here are some other way to translate this phrase:
including the bravest warriors (NET)
including all the best fighting men (NIV)
came from Gilgal.
went from Gilgal.
left Gilgal to go to Gibeon.
came from Gilgal: The clause came from Gilgal indicates that when Joshua received the message from the Gibeonites, he left the Israelite camp at Gilgal to help the Gibeonites fight against the Amorites. Here, as in 10:6c, the Hebrew word indicates elevation, that the army went up a steep hill/mountain since Gibeon was a higher elevation than Gilgal.
It may be more natural in some languages to include the whole subject (Joshua and his army) at the beginning of the verse followed by the verb, like the BSB does.
The Hebrew text mentions Joshua first as a way to show the importance of Joshua as the leader. Use a way that is natural in your language to emphasize Joshua’s importance. For an example of the Hebrew word order, the RSV says:
Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor (RSV)

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
