Joshua 10 · Grade 3
Yahweh Fought for Israel
Read the Story
Five Amorite kings joined together and camped against Gibeon. The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at Gilgal. They said, Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us!
Yahweh said to Joshua, Don't fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Joshua marched from Gilgal all night and came suddenly. As the enemy fled, Yahweh hurled down great stones from the sky.
Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh. He said, Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop in the valley of Aijalon! The sun stayed in the middle of the sky about a whole day. There was no day like that before it or after it. Later Joshua said, Don't be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and courageous.
