Joshua 10:10-20

10 The LORD confused them before Yisra'el, and he killed them with a great slaughter at Giv`on, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beit-Horon, and struck them to `Azeka, and to Makkedah.
11 It happened, as they fled from before Yisra'el, while they were at the descent of Beit-Horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from the sky on them to `Azeka, and they died: they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Yisra'el killed with the sword.
12 Then spoke Yehoshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amori before the children of Yisra'el; and he said in the sight of Yisra'el, Sun, stand you still on Giv`on; You, Moon, in the valley of Ayalon.
13 The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn't this written in the book of Yashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and didn't hurry to go down about a whole day.
14 There was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD listened to the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Yisra'el.
15 Yehoshua returned, and all Yisra'el with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
16 These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17 It was told Yehoshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
18 Yehoshua said, Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:
19 but don't stay; pursue after your enemies, and strike the hindmost of them; don't allow them to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.
20 It happened, when Yehoshua and the children of Yisra'el had made an end of killing them with a very great slaughter, until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
