*
And it happened ,
as they fled before Israel and were on the descent of Beth Horon ,
that the LORD cast down large hailstones from heaven on them as far as Azekah ,
and they died .
There were more who died from the hailstones than the children of Israel killed with the sword .
*
Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel ,
and he said in the sight of Israel : "
Sun ,
stand still over Gibeon ;
And Moon ,
in the Valley of Aijalon ."
*
So the sun stood still ,
And the moon stopped ,
Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies .
Is this not written in the Book of Jasher ?
So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven ,
and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day .
*
And there has been no day like that ,
before it or after it ,
that the LORD heeded the voice of a man ;
for the LORD fought for Israel .
*
Then Joshua returned ,
and all Israel with him ,
to the camp at Gilgal .
*
But these five kings had fled and hidden themselves in a cave at Makkedah .
*
And it was told Joshua ,
saying , "
The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah ."
*
So Joshua said , "
Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave ,
and set men by it to guard them .
*
And do not stay there yourselves ,
but pursue your enemies ,
and attack their rear guard .
Do not allow them to enter their cities ,
for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand ."
*
Then it happened ,
while Joshua and the children of Israel made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter ,
till they had finished ,
that those who escaped entered fortified cities .
*
And all the people returned to the camp ,
to Joshua at Makkedah ,
in peace .
No one moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel .
*
Then Joshua said , "
Open the mouth of the cave ,
and bring out those five kings to me from the cave ."
*
And they did so ,
and brought out those five kings to him from the cave :
the king of Jerusalem ,
the king of Hebron ,
the king of Jarmuth ,
the king of Lachish ,
and the king of Eglon .
*
So it was ,
when they brought out those kings to Joshua ,
that Joshua called for all the men of Israel ,
and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him , "
Come near ,
put your feet on the necks of these kings ."
And they drew near and put their feet on their necks .
