Joshua 10:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ “Joshua,” the Lord said, “don't be afraid of the Amorites. They will run away when you attack, and I will help you defeat them.”

⁹ Joshua marched all night from Gilgal to Gibeon and made a surprise attack on the Amorite camp. ¹⁰ The Lord made the enemy panic, and the Israelites started killing them right and left. They^[a] chased the Amorite troops up the road to Beth-Horon and kept on killing them, until they reached the towns of Azekah and Makkedah.^[b]
