Joshua 10:10-14
English Standard Version Anglicised
10 (A)And the Lord threw them into a panic before Israel, who[a] struck them with a great blow at Gibeon and chased them by the way of (B)the ascent of Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah. 11 And as they fled before Israel, while they were (C)going down the ascent of Beth-horon, (D)the Lord threw down large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were more who died because of the hailstones than the sons of Israel killed with the sword.
12 At that time Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,
(E)“Sun, stand still at Gibeon,
and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.
Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day. 14 (F)There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man, for (G)the Lord fought for Israel.

Joshua 10:10-14
New International Version
10 The Lord threw them into confusion(A) before Israel,(B) so Joshua and the Israelites defeated them completely at Gibeon.(C) Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon(D) and cut them down all the way to Azekah(E) and Makkedah.(F) 11 As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the Lord hurled large hailstones(G) down on them,(H) and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.
12 On the day the Lord gave the Amorites(I) over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:
“Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.(J)”
13 So the sun stood still,(K)
and the moon stopped,
till the nation avenged itself on[a] its enemies,
as it is written in the Book of Jashar.(L)
The sun stopped(M) in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. 14 There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting(N) for Israel!
