9. Joshua marched all night from Gilgal to Gibeon and made a surprise attack on the Amorite camp.
10. The Lord made the enemy panic, and the Israelites started killing them right and left. They chased the Amorite troops up the road to Beth-Horon and kept on killing them, until they reached the towns of Azekah and Makkedah.
11. And while these troops were going down through Beth-Horon Pass, the Lord made huge hailstones fall on them all the way to Azekah. More of the enemy soldiers died from the hail than from the Israelite weapons.
14. Never before and never since has the Lord done anything like that for someone who prayed. The Lord was really fighting for Israel.
15. After the battle, Joshua and the Israelites went back to their camp at Gilgal.
16. While the enemy soldiers were running from the Israelites, the five enemy kings ran away and hid in a cave near Makkedah.
17. Joshua's soldiers told him, “The five kings have been found in a cave near Makkedah.”
