Joshua 10:9-12 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua made a surprise attack upon them,

10. and the Lord threw them into disorder before Israel. The Israelites inflicted a great slaughter on them at Gibeon and pursued them down the Beth-horon slope, attacking them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

11. While they fled before Israel along the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord hurled great stones from the heavens above them all the way to Azekah, killing many. More died from these hailstones than the Israelites killed with the sword.

12. It was then, when the Lord delivered up the Amorites to the Israelites, that Joshua prayed to the Lord, and said in the presence of Israel:Sun, stand still at Gibeon,Moon, in the valley of Aijalon!
