5. So the five Amorite (Western) kings—the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon—combined their armies and set out to attack Gibeon.
6. The men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua camped at Gilgal, “Don’t let us down now! Come up here quickly! Save us! Help us! All the Amorite kings who live up in the hills have ganged up on us.”
12-13. The day God gave the Amorites up to Israel, Joshua spoke to God, with all Israel listening:“Stop, Sun, over Gibeon;Halt, Moon, over Aijalon Valley.”And Sun stopped,Moon stood stock stillUntil he defeated his enemies.
13-14. (You can find this written in the Book of Jashar.) The sun stopped in its tracks in mid sky; just sat there all day. There’s never been a day like that before or since—God took orders from a human voice! Truly, God fought for Israel.
15. Then Joshua returned, all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
