Joshua 10:1-13

10:1

Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek
<0139>

king
<04428>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

had heard
<08085> (8800)

how
<03588>

Joshua
<03091>

had taken
<03920> (8804)

Ai
<05857>_,

and had utterly destroyed
<02763> (8686)

it; as he had done
<06213> (8804)

to Jericho
<03405>

and her king
<04428>_,

so he had done
<06213> (8804)

to Ai
<05857>

and her king
<04428>_;

and how the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Gibeon
<01391>

had made peace
<07999> (8689)

with Israel
<03478>_,

and were among
<07130>

them;

10:2

That they feared
<03372> (8799)

greatly
<03966>_,

because Gibeon
<01391>

[was] a great
<01419>

city
<05892>_,

as one
<0259>

of the royal
<04467>

cities
<05892>_,

and because it [was] greater
<01419>

than Ai
<05857>_,

and all the men
<0582>

thereof [were] mighty
<01368>_.

{royal...: Heb. cities of the kingdom}

10:3

Wherefore Adonizedek
<0139>

king
<04428>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto Hoham
<01944>

king
<04428>

of Hebron
<02275>_,

and unto Piram
<06502>

king
<04428>

of Jarmuth
<03412>_,

and unto Japhia
<03309>

king
<04428>

of Lachish
<03923>_,

and unto Debir
<01688>

king
<04428>

of Eglon
<05700>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

10:4

Come up
<05927> (8798)

unto me, and help
<05826> (8798)

me, that we may smite
<05221> (8686)

Gibeon
<01391>_:

for it hath made peace
<07999> (8689)

with Joshua
<03091>

and with the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

10:5

Therefore the five
<02568>

kings
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

the king
<04428>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

the king
<04428>

of Hebron
<02275>_,

the king
<04428>

of Jarmuth
<03412>_,

the king
<04428>

of Lachish
<03923>_,

the king
<04428>

of Eglon
<05700>_,

gathered themselves together
<0622> (8735)_,

and went up
<05927> (8799)_,

they and all their hosts
<04264>_,

and encamped
<02583> (8799)

before Gibeon
<01391>_,

and made war
<03898> (8735)

against it.

10:6

And the men
<0582>

of Gibeon
<01391>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>

to the camp
<04264>

to Gilgal
<01537>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Slack
<07503> (8686)

not thy hand
<03027>

from thy servants
<05650>_;

come up
<05927> (8798)

to us quickly
<04120>_,

and save
<03467> (8685)

us, and help
<05826> (8798)

us: for all the kings
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>

that dwell
<03427> (8802)

in the mountains
<02022>

are gathered together
<06908> (8738)

against us.

10:7

So Joshua
<03091>

ascended
<05927> (8799)

from Gilgal
<01537>_,

he, and all the people
<05971>

of war
<04421>

with him, and all the mighty
<01368>

men of valour
<02428>_.

10:8

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

Fear
<03372> (8799)

them not: for I have delivered
<05414> (8804)

them into thine hand
<03027>_;

there shall not a man
<0376>

of them stand
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

thee.

10:9

Joshua
<03091>

therefore came
<0935> (8799)

unto them suddenly
<06597>_,

[and] went up
<05927> (8804)

from Gilgal
<01537>

all night
<03915>_.

10:10

And the LORD
<03068>

discomfited
<02000> (8799)

them before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

them with a great
<01419>

slaughter
<04347>

at Gibeon
<01391>_,

and chased
<07291> (8799)

them along the way
<01870>

that goeth up
<04608>

to Bethhoron
<01032>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

them to Azekah
<05825>_,

and unto Makkedah
<04719>_.

10:11

And it came to pass, as they fled
<05127> (8800)

from before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_,

[and] were in the going down
<04174>

to Bethhoron
<01032>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

cast down
<07993> (8689)

great
<01419>

stones
<068>

from heaven
<08064>

upon them unto Azekah
<05825>_,

and they died
<04191> (8799)_:

[they were] more
<07227>

which died
<04191> (8804)

with hailstones
<01259> <068>

than [they] whom
<0834>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

slew
<02026> (8804)

with the sword
<02719>_.

10:12

Then spake
<01696> (8762)

Joshua
<03091>

to the LORD
<03068>

in the day
<03117>

when the LORD
<03068>

delivered up
<05414> (8800)

the Amorites
<0567>

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and he said
<0559> (8799)

in the sight
<05869>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Sun
<08121>_,

stand thou still
<01826> (8798)

upon Gibeon
<01391>_;

and thou, Moon
<03394>_,

in the valley
<06010>

of Ajalon
<0357>_.

{stand...: Heb. be silent}

10:13

And the sun
<08121>

stood still
<01826> (8799)_,

and the moon
<03394>

stayed
<05975> (8804)_,

until the people
<01471>

had avenged
<05358> (8799)

themselves upon their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

[Is] not this
<01931>

written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of Jasher
<03477>_?

So the sun
<08121>

stood still
<05975> (8799)

in the midst
<02677>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and hasted
<0213> (8804)

not to go down
<0935> (8800)

about a whole
<08549>

day
<03117>_.

{Jasher: or, the upright?}
