Portal:Bible/Featured chapter/Joshua 10
Five Amorite kings besiege the Hivites in Gibeon. The Hivites implore Joshua's help, and so he launches a surprise attack, causing the Amorites to flee. The sun stands still in order that Joshua could complete the battle. The five kings, hiding in a cave, are discovered and trapped until their army has been obliterated, at which point they are then hanged.
