06:010:006 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal,
           saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us
           quickly, and save us, and help us:  for all the kings of the
           Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together
           against us.

06:010:007 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war
           with him, and all the mighty men of valour.

06:010:008 And the lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not:  for I have
           delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them
           stand before thee.

06:010:009 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from
           Gilgal all night.

06:010:010 And the lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them
           with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the
           way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and
           unto Makkedah.

06:010:011 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were
           in the going down to Bethhoron, that the lord cast down great
           stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died:  they
           were more which died with hailstones than they whom the
           children of Israel slew with the sword.

06:010:012 Then spake Joshua 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 thou still upon
           Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

06:010:013 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people
           had avenged themselves upon their enemies.  Is not this written
           in the book of Jasher?  So the sun stood still in the midst of
           heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

06:010:014 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the
           lord hearkened unto the voice of a man:  for the lord fought
           for Israel.

06:010:015 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to
           Gilgal.

06:010:016 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at
           Makkedah.

06:010:017 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid
           in a cave at Makkedah.

06:010:018 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave,
           and set men by it for to keep them: 

06:010:019 And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the
           hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: 
           for the lord your God hath delivered them into your hand.

06:010:020 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel
           had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter,
           till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them
           entered into fenced cities.
