Joshua 10:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 10:8

6 And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp ^aat Gilgal, saying, “Do not forsake your servants; come up to us quickly, save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the mountains have gathered together against us.”

7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he and ^aall the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.

8 And the Lord said to Joshua, ^a“Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; ^bnot a man of them shall ^cstand before you.”

9 Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly, having marched all night from Gilgal.

10 So the Lord ^arouted them before Israel, killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, chased them along the road that goes ^bto Beth Horon, and struck them down as far as ^cAzekah and Makkedah.

11 And it happened, as they fled before Israel and were on the descent of Beth Horon, ^athat the Lord cast down large hailstones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than the children of Israel killed with the sword.
