• And the Lord said to Joshua, "Do not fear them,
  for I have delivered them into your hand not a
  man of them shall stand before you." 9 Joshua
  therefore came upon them suddenly, having marched
  all night from Gilgal. Josh 108-9 (NKJV)

• So the Lord routed them before Israel, killed
  them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, chased
  them along the road that goes to Beth Horon, and
  struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
  11 And it happened, as they fled before Israel
  and were on the descent of Beth Horon, that the
  Lord cast down large hailstones from heaven on
  them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were
  more who died from the hailstones than the
  children of Israel killed with the sword. Josh
  1010-11 (NKJV)

• Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the
  Lord delivered up the Amorites before the
  children of Israel, and he said in the sight of
  Israel "Sun, stand still over Gibeon And Moon,
  in the Valley of Aijalon." 13 So the sun stood
  still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had
  revenge Upon their enemies. Is this not written
  in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in
  the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go
  down for about a whole day. 14 And there has been
  no day like that, before it or after it, that the
  Lord heeded the voice of a man for the Lord
  fought for Israel. Josh 1012-14 (NKJV)
