6. And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains, are assembled against us.
7. So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
8. And the LORD said to Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
9. Joshua therefore came to them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
