And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua, and to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Do not withdraw your hand from your servants. Come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites living in the hills have gathered againstus.

And Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, even all the mighty warriors.

And Jehovah said to Joshua, Do not be afraid of them, for I have given them into your hand. Not a man of them shall stand before you.

And Joshua came to them suddenly (he had traveled all night from Gilgal)

and Jehovah troubled them before Israel, and struck them with a great blow at Gibeon, and He pursued by the way of the ascent of Bethhoron, and struck them to Azekah, and to Makkedah.

And it happened, as they fled from the face of Israel, they were in the descent of Bethhoron, even Jehovah cast great hail stones on them out of the heavens, to Azekah; and they died. The many who died by the hail stones were more than the sons ofIsrael had killed by the sword.
