11
And when they were fleeing from before Israel in the descent to Bethhoron, the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died;
there were more who died from the hailstones than
those whom the sons of Israel slew with the sword.
12
Then Joshua spoke unto the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed until the nation had avenged themselves upon their enemies.
Is not this written in the book of righteousness? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven and hastened not to go down about a whole day.
14
And there was no day like that before it or after it that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.
15
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
16
But the five kings fled and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
17
And it was told unto Joshua that the five kings had been found hidden in a cave at Makkedah.
18
Then Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave and set men by it to guard them;
19
and do not stop,
but pursue after your enemies and smite their rearguard without allowing them to enter into their cities; for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.
20
And it came to pass when Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, that those who remained of them entered into strong cities.
21
And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace; there was no one to move his tongue against any of the sons of Israel.
