Joshua 10:5-8

10:5 So the five Amorite kings (the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon) and all their troops gathered together and advanced. They deployed their troops and fought against Gibeon. ¹ 

10:6 The men of Gibeon sent this message to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, “Do not abandon ²  your subjects! ³  Rescue us! Help us! For all the Amorite kings living in the hill country are attacking us.” ⁴  10:7 So Joshua and his whole army, including the bravest warriors, marched up from Gilgal. ⁵  10:8 The Lord told Joshua, “Don’t be afraid of them, for I am handing them over to you. ⁶  Not one of them can resist you.” ⁷
