8 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands. ^lNot a man of them shall stand before you.”

10 ⁿAnd the Lord threw them into a panic before Israel, who¹ struck them with a great blow at Gibeon and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

11 And as they fled before Israel, while they were going down the ascent of Beth-horon, the Lord threw down large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were more who died because of the ^ohailstones than the sons of Israel killed with the sword.

12 At that time Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,

14 There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man, for the Lord ^rfought for Israel.

19 but do not stay there yourselves. Pursue your enemies; attack their rear guard. Do not let them enter their cities, for the Lord your God has given them into your hand.”

25 And Joshua said to them, ^v“Do not be afraid or dismayed; ^wbe strong and courageous. For ^xthus the Lord will do to all your enemies against whom you fight.”

30 And the Lord gave it also and its ^bking into the hand of Israel. And he struck it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it; he left none remaining in it. And he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

32 And the Lord gave Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he captured it on the second day and struck it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it, as he had done to Libnah.

42 And Joshua captured all these kings and their land at one time, because the Lord God of Israel ^dfought for Israel.
