7 And Joshua ascended from Gilgal, and the entire army of warriors with him, very strong men.
8 And the Lord said to Joshua: 'You should not fear them. For I have delivered them into your hands. None of them will be able to withstand you.'
9 And so Joshua, ascending from Gilgal throughout the night, rushed upon them suddenly.
10 And the Lord set them in disarray before the face of Israel. And he crushed them in a great defeat at Gibeon, and he pursued them along the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and he struck them down, even as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
11 And while they were fleeing from the sons of Israel, and were on the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast great stones from heaven upon them, as far as Azekah. And many more were killed by the hailstones, than were struck down by the swords of the sons of Israel.
