Joshua 10:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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[a] above them all the way to Azekah, killing many.(A) More died from these hailstones than the Israelites killed with the sword.
