6. Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in camp at Gilgal saying: “Don’t abandon your servants! Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, for all the kings of the Amorites living in the hill country have gathered against us.”
7. So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him and all the mighty men of valor.
8. Adonai said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will stand before you.”
9. So Joshua came upon them suddenly by marching all night from Gilgal.
10. Adonai threw them into confusion before Israel, defeated them with a crushing defeat at Gibeon, chased them by the road that goes up to Beth-horon, and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
