13 So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance on its enemies. (Is it not written in the Book of Jashar?) Thus the sun halted in the middle of the sky, and did not hurry to go down for about a full day.
14 There was no day like that before it or after it, when Adonai listened to the voice of a man. For Adonai fought for Israel.
15 Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp at Gilgal.
16 Now these five kings fled and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17 So it was reported to Joshua, “The five kings are found hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
18 Joshua said, “Roll large stones onto the mouth of the cave, assign men over it to guard them,
19 but don’t stay there yourselves. Chase after your enemies and attack them at the rear. Don’t let them enter their cities, for Adonai your God has given them into your hand.”
