Verse 9 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.
