Joshua 10:29-30

The LORD Fights for Israel: Gibeon Rescued and the Southern Kings Defeated

When five Amorite kings attack Gibeon, Joshua marches to defend the oath-bound city, the LORD fights for Israel with panic, hailstones, and extended daylight, and the southern coalition collapses under divine judgment.

29Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.

30And the LORD also delivered that city and its king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the king of Libnah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
