10 The Lord threw them into confusion(A) before Israel,(B) so Joshua and the Israelites defeated them completely at Gibeon.(C) Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon(D) and cut them down all the way to Azekah(E) and Makkedah.(F) 11 As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the Lord hurled large hailstones(G) down on them,(H) and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.

12 On the day the Lord gave the Amorites(I) over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:

“Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
    and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.(J)
13 So the sun stood still,(K)
    and the moon stopped,
    till the nation avenged itself on[a] its enemies,

as it is written in the Book of Jashar.(L)

The sun stopped(M) in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.
