Joshua 10:1-11
1Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedekH139 kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 how JoshuaH3091 had takenH3920 Ai, and had utterly destroyed it (as he had done to JerichoH3405 and her kingH4428, so he had done to Ai and her kingH4428), and how the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391 had madeH6213 peace with IsraelH3478, and were among them; 2that they fearedH3372 greatly, because GibeonH1391 was a greatH1419 cityH5892, as oneH259 of the royal citiesH5892, and because it was greaterH1419 than Ai, and all the menH376 thereof were mightyH1368. 3Wherefore Adoni-zedekH139 kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389 sentH7971 unto Hoham kingH4428 of HebronH2275, and unto Piram kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, and unto JaphiaH3309 kingH4428 of LachishH3923, and unto DebirH1688 kingH4428 of EglonH5700, sayingH559, 4ComeH5927 up unto me, and helpH5826 me, and let us smite GibeonH1391; for it hath made peace with JoshuaH3091 and with the children of IsraelH3478. 5Therefore the fiveH2568 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, the kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389, the kingH4428 of HebronH2275, the kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, the kingH4428 of LachishH3923, the kingH4428 of EglonH5700, gatheredH622 themselves together, and wentH5927 up, they and all their hosts, and encampedH2583 against GibeonH1391, and made war against it.
6And the menH376 of GibeonH1391 sentH7971 unto JoshuaH3091 to the campH4264 to GilgalH1537, sayingH559, SlackH7503 not thy handH3027 from thy servantsH5650; comeH5927 up to us quicklyH4120, and saveH3467 us, and helpH5826 us: for all the kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567 that dwellH3427 in the hill-country are gatheredH6908 togetherH6908 against us. 7So JoshuaH3091 wentH5927 up from GilgalH1537, he, and all the peopleH5971 of warH4421 with him, and all the mightyH1368 menH1368 of valor. 8And Jehovah saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, FearH3372 them not: for I have delivered them into thy handsH3027; there shall not a manH376 of them standH5975 before thee. 9JoshuaH3091 therefore cameH935 upon them suddenlyH6597; for he wentH935 up from GilgalH1537 all the nightH3915. 10And Jehovah discomfited them before IsraelH3478, and he slew them with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347 at GibeonH1391, and chased them by the wayH1870 of the ascent of Beth-horonH1032, and smote them to AzekahH5825, and unto MakkedahH4719. 11And it came to pass, as they fledH5127 from before IsraelH3478, while they were at the descentH4174 of Beth-horonH1032, that Jehovah castH7993 downH7993 greatH1419 stonesH68 from heavenH8064 upon them unto AzekahH5825, and they diedH4191: they were moreH4480 who diedH4191 with the hailstones than they whom the children of IsraelH3478 slewH2026 with the swordH2719.
