8 The Lord told Joshua, “Don’t be afraid of them, for I am handing them over to you.[a] Not one of them can resist you.”[b] 9 Joshua attacked them by surprise after marching all night from Gilgal.[c] 10 The Lord routed[d] them before Israel. Israel[e] thoroughly defeated them[f] at Gibeon. They chased them up the road to the pass[g] of Beth Horon and struck them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah.
