Joshua 10:10-12
International Standard Version
10 The Lord threw the Amorites[a] into a panic right in front of the army[b] of Israel, which then slaughtered many of them at Gibeon. The Israeli army[c] chased them along the road that goes up to Beth-horon, striking them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah. 11 While they were fleeing in front of Israel and descending the slope of Beth-horon, the Lord rained down huge hailstones on them as far as Azekah, and they died. More died because of the hailstones than were killed by the Israelis in battle.[d] 12 Later that day, Joshua spoke to the Lord while the Lord was delivering the Amorites to the Israelis. This is what he said in the presence of Israel:
“Sun, be still over Gibeon!
Moon, stand in place[e] in the Aijalon Valley!”
