13And the sun was at rest and the moon kept its place till the nation had given punishment to their attackers. (Is it not recorded in the book of Jashar?) So the sun kept its place in the middle of the heavens, and was waiting, and did not go down, for the space of a day.
14And there was no day like that, before it or after it, when the Lord gave ear to the voice of a man; for the Lord was fighting for Israel.
15And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.
16But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
17And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
18And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:
19But do you, without waiting, go after their army, attacking them from the back; do not let them get into their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hands.
