Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX
New International Version NIV
8 And the Lord said to Joshua, Fear them not, for I have delivered them into thy hands; there shall not one of them be left before you.
8
The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you.”
9 And when Joshua came suddenly upon them, he advanced all the night out of Galgala.
9
After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua took them by surprise.
10 And the Lord struck them with terror before the children of Israel; and the Lord destroyed them with a great slaughter at Gabaon; and they pursued them by the way of the going up of Oronin, and they smote them to Azeca and to Makeda.
10
The LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, so Joshua and the Israelites defeated them completely at Gibeon. Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon and cut them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah.
11 And when they fled from the face of the children of Israel at the descent of Oronin, then the Lord cast upon them hailstones from heaven to Azeca; and they were more that died by the hailstones, than those whom the children of Israel slew with the sword in the battle.
11
As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the LORD hurled large hailstones down on them, and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.
12 Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, in the day in which the Lord delivered the Amorite into the power of Israel, when he destroyed them in Gabaon, and they were destroyed from before the children of Israel: and Joshua said, Let the sun stand over against Gabaon, and the moon over against the valley of Aelon.
12
On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
13 And the sun and the moon stood still, until God executed vengeance on their enemies; and the sun stood still in the midst of heaven; it did not proceed to set till the end of one day.
13
So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.
14 And there was not such a day either before or after, so that God should hearken to a man, because the Lord fought on the side of Israel.
14
There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the LORD listened to a human being. Surely the LORD was fighting for Israel!
15
15
Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
16 And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave that is in Makeda.
16
Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found hid in the cave that is in Makeda.
17
When Joshua was told that the five kings had been found hiding in the cave at Makkedah,
18 And Joshua said, Roll stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men to watch over them.
18
he said, “Roll large rocks up to the mouth of the cave, and post some men there to guard it.
