And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 10 of Joshua. Israel makes a night march and surprises the enemy armies. God intervenes through confusion and a great hailstorm, and the text attributes a decisive part of the defeat to the Lord. The extraordinary prolongation of the day through Joshua’s request appears within poetic language emphasizing the magnitude of the victory. The passage presents creation itself as subordinate to God’s purpose in favor of Israel during the battle.
