12. Then Joshua spoke to the Lord on the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, be silent and stand still at Gibeon, and you, moon, in the Valley of Ajalon!
13. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance upon their enemies. Is not this written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.
14. There was no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man. For the Lord fought for Israel.
15. Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
16. Those five kings fled and hid themselves in the cave of Makkedah.
17. And it was told Joshua, The five kings are hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
18. Joshua said, Roll great stones to the cave's mouth, and set men to guard them.
19. But do not stay. Pursue your enemies and fall upon their rear; do not allow them to enter their cities, for the Lord your God has given them into your hand.
