Joshua 10:31-32

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.

31And Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it.

32And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and Joshua captured it on the second day. He put all the people to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.
