When Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, specifically, that Joshua had seized Ai, and had overthrown it, (for just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so did he do to Ai and its king, ) and that the Gibeonites had fled over to Israel, and were now their confederates,

And so, having assembled, the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, together with their armies, went up and encamped around Gibeon, laying siege to it.
6 and to send: depart human Gibeon to(wards) Joshua to(wards) [the] camp [the] Gilgal [to] to/for to say not to slacken hand your from servant/slave your to ascend: rise to(wards) us haste and to save [emph?] to/for us and to help us for to gather to(wards) us all king [the] Amorite to dwell [the] mountain: hill country
But the inhabitants of the city of Gibeon, when it was besieged, sent to Joshua, who was then staying in the camp at Gilgal. And they said to him: “May you not draw back your hands from helping your servants. Come quickly, and free us, and bring troops. For all the kings of the Amorites, who live in the mountains, have gathered together against us.”

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 to be in/on/with to flee they from face: before Israel they(masc.) in/on/with descent Beth-horon Beth-horon and LORD to throw upon them stone great: large from [the] heaven till Azekah and to die many which to die in/on/with stone [the] hail from whence to kill son: descendant/people Israel in/on/with sword
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.

And the sun and the moon stood still, until the people had avenged themselves of their enemies. Has this not been written in the book of the just? And so the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and it did not hurry to its rest for the space of one day.
14 and not to be like/as day [the] he/she/it to/for face: before his and after him to/for to hear: hear LORD in/on/with voice man for LORD to fight to/for Israel
