Joshua 10:36-37

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.

36Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.

37They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it.
