4 "Come up and help me. We will strike at Gibeon, because it has made peace with Joshua and with the Israelites."
5 Then the five kings of the Amorites gathered. These were the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon. They went up with all their armies, camped against Gibeon, and attacked it.
6 The people of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: "Don’t desert your servants! Come to us quickly. Rescue us! Help us! All the Amorite kings from the highlands have assembled together against us."
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal with the entire army and all the bravest soldiers.
8 Then the Lord said to Joshua, "Don’t be afraid of them. I have given them into your power. Not a single one of them can stand up against you."
9 Joshua quickly attacked them, having come up overnight from Gilgal.
10 Then the Lord threw them into a panic before Israel. Joshua struck a mighty blow against them at Gibeon. He chased them on the way up to Beth-horon and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
