Was not the sun held back by his hand?
    And did not one day become as long as two?
He called upon the Most High, the Mighty One,
    when enemies pressed him on every side,
and the great Lord answered him
    with hailstones of mighty power.
He hurled down war upon that nation,
    and at the descent of Beth-hor′on[a] he destroyed those who resisted,
so that the nations might know his armament,
    that he was fighting in the sight of the Lord;
    for he wholly followed the Mighty One.
