5
Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together , and went up , they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
6
And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying , Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
7
So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
8
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
9
Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
