SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–27 Five Canaanite Kings attacked the Israelites

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

Paragraph 10:6–11

The Israelites defended the Gibeonites against their enemies.

10:9a

After marching all night from Gilgal,

After they walked uphill from Gilgal to Gibeon during the night,
They did this by walking all night from their camp at Gilgal.

After marching all night from Gilgal: The clause marching all night from Gilgal indicates that it took all night for Joshua and the Israelite army to walk uphill from Gilgal to Gibeon. The distance from Gilgal to Gibeon was about twenty to twenty-five miles up a fairly steep hill.10:9 Howard, p. 236, note 186.

marching: The English verb marching is used for soldiers who are walking.

10:9b

Joshua caught them by surprise.

Joshua and the Israelite army made a surprise attack on the Amorites,
And Joshua attacked the Amorites when they were not expecting it.

Joshua caught them by surprise: Joshua was the leader of the Israelites, and he attacked the Amorites along with his army. The word them refers to the Amorites.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

Joshua and the Israelite army made a surprise attack upon the Amorite armies.

caught them by surprise: The phrase caught them by surprise is a Hebrew idiom. It indicates that the Amorites did not know that the Israelites were going to attack them. It was a surprise.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

attacked them by surprise (NET)

attacked them when they were not expecting it

General Comment on 10:9a-b

In some languages it may be more natural to reorder 9a and 9b so that the events are in the Hebrew sentence order. For example:

So Joshua came upon them suddenly, having marched up all night from Gilgal (RSV)
