11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that Jehovah cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

And thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.

Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies.
