8 The LORD told Joshua, |Don't be afraid of them, for I am handing them over to you. Not one of them can resist you.| 9 Joshua attacked them by surprise after marching all night from Gilgal. 10 The LORD routed them before Israel. Israel thoroughly defeated them at Gibeon. They chased them up the road to the pass of Beth Horon and struck them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah. 11 As they fled from Israel on the slope leading down from Beth Horon, the LORD threw down on them large hailstones from the sky, all the way to Azekah. They died--in fact, more died from the hailstones than the Israelites killed with the sword. Joshua 10:8-11, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
