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, Do not fear them; for I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
9. Joshua, therefore, came unto them suddenly, for he went up from Gilgal all night.
10. And the Lord discomfited them before Israel and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon and chased them along the way that goes up to Bethhoron and smote them to Azekah and unto Makkedah.
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.
