The Land Divided

Yahweh throws the enemy into a wild panic! They run in every way at once. Then huge balls of ice fall from the sky! More men die from the ice than from swords. Joshua looks up and prays. He asks Yahweh to stop the sun. The sun stops right there in the middle of the sky! Israel keeps fighting until...

The five kings run and hide in a cave. Joshua finds out where they are. He orders men to roll a huge stone over the opening. Guards watch the cave. Israel keeps chasing the rest of the armies. The kings can wait inside their dark hole.

After the battle, Joshua brings the five kings out of the cave. He tells his leaders to put their feet on the kings' necks. "Do not be afraid!" Joshua says. "Yahweh will do this to all your enemies." Then Joshua kills the kings. Their bodies hang on trees until the sun goes down.

Josh 10:10
