Josh 10:9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly,
and went up from Gilgal all night.
Josh 10:10 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
Josh 10:11 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.
Josh 10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
Josh 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
Josh 10:14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

I have been tricked into signing a contract by someone who
lied to me. This is what happened to Israel when they were tricked into signing
a treaty with Gibeon. They honored the treaty and later when Gibeon was attacked
by five local kings, Gibeon called upon Israel for help. Israel honored their
treaty and God honored Israel. He fought for them with hail stones and at
Joshuas request the sun and the moon stood still until the battle was
over.
Joshua was not educated like our scientists today who say that it is
impossible for the sun and moon to stand still. He just believed God for a
miracle and God did the impossible for him. He held the sun and moon and earth
in his hands and holds us in his hands. There is nothing impossible with God if
we keep our word, honor his word and trust in him.
