11 As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, (A)the Lord threw large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died; there were more who died [a]from the hailstones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword.

“O (B)sun, stand still at Gibeon,
And O moon in the valley of Aijalon.”
13 (C)So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies.
