Yehoshua (Joshua) 10:1
[1] And it came to be when Aḏoni-Tseḏeq sovereign of Yerushalayim heard that Yehoshua had captured Ai and had put it under the ban, that he had done to Ai and its sovereign as he had done to Yeriḥo and its sovereign.
And that the inhabitants of Giḇ‛on had made peace with Yisra’ĕl and were in their midst,
[4] “Come up to me and help me, and let us strike Giḇ‛on, for it has made peace with Yehoshua and with the children of Yisra’ĕl.”
[7] And Yehoshua went up from Gilgal.
He and all the soldiers with him, and all the mighty brave men. [8] And יהוה said to Yehoshua, “Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hand. Not one of them does stand before you.
”[10] And יהוה threw them into confusion before Yisra’ĕl, and they struck them with a great slaughter at Giḇ‛on, and pursued them along the way that goes to Bĕyth Ḥoron, and struck them as far as Azĕqah and Maqqĕḏah.
[13] So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Yashar? Thus the sun stopped in the midst of the heavens, and did not hasten to go down for an entire day.
[14] And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that יהוה listened to the voice of a man, because יהוה fought for Yisra’ĕl.[16] Now these five sovereigns had fled and hidden themselves in a cave at Maqqĕḏah.
[17] And it was reported to Yehoshua, saying, “The five sovereigns have been found hidden in the cave at Maqqĕḏah.”
[23] And they did so, and brought those five sovereigns to him from the cave: the sovereign of Yerushalayim.
The sovereign of Ḥeḇron, the sovereign of Yarmuth, the sovereign of Laḵish, the sovereign of Eḡlon.[25] Then Yehoshua said to them, “Do not be afraid nor be discouraged, be strong and courageous.
For this is what יהוה is going to do to all your enemies whom you are fighting.”
[27] And it came to be, at the time of the going down of the sun, that Yehoshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees.
And threw them into the cave where they had been hidden, and laid large stones against the cave’s mouth, to this day.
[29] Then Yehoshua passed over, and all Yisra’ĕl with him, from Maqqĕḏah to Liḇnah. And they fought against Liḇnah.
[34] Then Yehoshua passed over, and all Yisra’ĕl with him, from Laḵish to Eḡlon. And they encamped against it and fought against it, [37] and captured it and struck it with the edge of the sword.
And its sovereign, and all its cities, and all the people who were in it. He left no survivor, according to all that he had done to Eḡlon, but put it and all the people who were in it under the ban.
[40] Thus Yehoshua struck all the land: the mountain country and the South and the low country and the wilderness slopes, and all their sovereigns. He left no survivor, but put all that breathed under the ban.
As יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl had commanded.
[43] And Yehoshua returned, and all Yisra’ĕl with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
