5 So the five sovereigns of the Amorites – the sovereign of Yerushalayim, the sovereign of Ḥeḇron, the sovereign of Yarmuth, the sovereign of Laḵish, the sovereign of Eg̅lon – gathered together and went up, they and all their armies, and camped before Giḇ‛on and fought against it.
6 And the men of Giḇ‛on sent to Yehoshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Do not withdraw your hand from your servants. Come up to us quickly, and save us and help us, for all the sovereigns of the Amorites who dwell in the mountains have assembled against us.”
7 And Yehoshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the soldiers with him, and all the mighty brave men.
8 And יהוה said to Yehoshua, “Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hand. Not one of them does stand before you.”
9 So then Yehoshua came upon them suddenly, having gone up all night from Gilgal.
10 And יהוה threw them into confusion before Yisra’ĕl, and they smote them with a great slaughter at Giḇ‛on, and pursued them along the way that goes to Bĕyth Ḥoron, and smote them as far as Azĕqah and Maqqĕḏah.
11 And it came to be, as they fled before Yisra’ĕl and were on the descent of Bĕyth Ḥoron, that יהוה threw down large hailstones from the heavens on them as far as Azĕqah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the sons of Yisra’ĕl had slain with the sword.
