13 So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies. Is it not written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.
14 There was no day like that before it or after it, when the Lord listened to the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel.
15 Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp to Gilgal.
16 Now these five kings had fled and hidden themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17 It was told Joshua, saying, "The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah."
18 Joshua said, "Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and assign men by it to guard them,
19 but do not stay there yourselves; pursue your enemies and attack them in the rear. Do not allow them to enter their cities, for the Lord your God has delivered them into your hand."
