12. Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh, on the day Yahweh gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, and he said in the sight of Israel, “Sun in Gibeon, stand still, and moon, in the valley of Aijalon.”
13. And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on its enemies. Is it not written in the scroll of Jashar? The sun stood still in the middle of the heaven and was not in haste to set for about a full day.
14. There has not been a day like this before it or after, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man; for Yahweh fought for Israel.
15. And Joshua returned and all Israel with him to the camp at Gilgal.
16. But these five kings fled and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17. And it was told to Joshua, saying, “The five kings were found hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
18. And Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and set men in front of it to guard them.
19. But do not stay there; pursue after your enemies and attack them from the rear. Do not allow them to go into their cities, for Yahweh your God has given them into your hand.”
