009:027 That day Joshua made those wood cutters and drawers of water
for the congregation, and for the altar of Yahweh, to this day,
in the place which he should choose.
010:001 Now it happened, when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua
had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done
to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king;
and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel,
and were among them;
010:002 that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city,
as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai,
and all the men of it were mighty.
010:003 Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron,
and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish,
and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
010:004 Come up to me, and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it
has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
010:005 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 armies, and encamped against Gibeon,
and made war against it.
010:006 The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal,
saying, Don't slack your hand from your servants;
come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us:
for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill
country are gathered together against us.
010:007 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war
with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
010:008 Yahweh said to Joshua, Don't fear them: for I have delivered
them into your hands; there shall not a man of them
stand before you.
010:009 Joshua therefore came on them suddenly; [for] he went up
from Gilgal all the night.
010:010 Yahweh confused them before Israel, and he killed them
with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way
of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah,
and to Makkedah.
010:011 It happened, as they fled from before Israel, while they
were at the descent of Beth Horon, that Yahweh cast down
great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died:
they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom
the children of Israel killed with the sword.
010:012 Then spoke Joshua to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh
delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel;
and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand you still
on Gibeon; You, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.
010:013 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 Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky,
