Joshua:10:1 @
And it cometh to pass ,
when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heareth that Joshua hath captured Ai ,
and doth devote it (
as he had done to Jericho and to her king so he hath done to Ai and to her king ),
and that the inhabitants of Gibeon have made peace with Israel ,
and are in their midst , --
ylt @
Joshua:10:2 @
that they are greatly afraid ,
because Gibeon [
is ]
a great city ,
as one of the royal cities ,
and because it [
is ]
greater than Ai ,
and all its men --
heroes .

Joshua:10:3 @
And Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sendeth unto Hoham king of Hebron ,
and unto Piram king of Jarmuth ,
and unto Japhia king of Lachish ,
and unto Debir king of Eglon ,
saying ,
ylt @
Joshua:10:4 @'
Come up unto me ,
and help me ,
and we smite Gibeon ,
for it hath made peace with Joshua ,
and with the sons of Israel .'
ylt @
Joshua:10:5 @
And five kings of the Amorite (
the king of Jerusalem ,
the king of Hebron ,
the king of Jarmuth ,
the king of Lachish ,
the king of Eglon )
are gathered together ,
and go up ,
they and all their camps ,
and encamp against Gibeon ,
and fight against it .
ylt @
Joshua:10:6 @
And the men of Gibeon send unto Joshua ,
unto the camp at Gilgal ,
saying , '
Let not thy hand cease from thy servants ;
come up unto us [
with ]
haste ,
and give safety to us ,
and help us ;
for all the kings of the Amorite ,
dwelling in the hill-country ,
have been assembled against us .'
ylt @
Joshua:10:7 @
And Joshua goeth up from Gilgal ,
he ,
and all the people of war with him ,
even all the mighty men of valour .
ylt @
Joshua:10:8 @
And Jehovah saith unto Joshua , '
Be not afraid of them ,
for into thy hand I have given them ,
there doth not stand a man of them in thy presence .'
ylt @
Joshua:10:9 @
And Joshua cometh in unto them suddenly (
all the night he hath gone up from Gilgal ),
ylt @
Joshua:10:10 @
and Jehovah doth crush them before Israel ,
and it smiteth them --
a great smiting --
at Gibeon ,
and pursueth them the way of the ascent of Beth-Horon ,
and smiteth them unto Azekah ,
and unto Makkedah .
ylt @
Joshua:10:11 @
And it cometh to pass ,
in their fleeing from the face of Israel --
they [
are ]
in the descent of Beth-Horon --
and Jehovah hath cast upon them great stones out of the heavens ,
unto Azekah ,
and they die ;
more are they who have died by the hailstones than they whom the sons of Israel have slain by the sword .

Joshua:10:12 @
Then speaketh Joshua to Jehovah in the day of Jehovah '
s giving up the Amorites before the sons of Israel ,
and he saith ,
before the eyes of Israel , '
Sun --
in Gibeon stand still ;
and moon --
in the valley of Ajalon ;'
ylt @
Joshua:10:13 @
and the sun standeth still ,
and the moon hath stood --
till the nation taketh vengeance [
on ]
its enemies ;
is it not written on the Book of the Upright , '
and the sun standeth in the midst of the heavens ,
and hath not hasted to go in --
as a perfect day ?'
ylt @
Joshua:10:14 @
And there hath not been like that day before it or after it ,
for Jehovah '
s hearkening to the voice of a man ;
for Jehovah is fighting for Israel .
ylt @
Joshua:10:15 @
And Joshua turneth back ,
and all Israel with him ,
unto the camp at Gilgal .
