The King of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai and Jericho and destroyed them. They also heard that the Gibeonites made a treaty with the Israelites, so the king of Jerusalem gathered the kings of the hill country around them and began to attack Gibeon.

It seems that when the Gibeonites turned to God's side, the kings of Canaan became angry at them. Gibeon quickly called for help from Joshua. Joshua came to their aid with an all-night march. The Lord threw the kings and their armies into confusion and the Israelites defeated them completely. Through hailstones, God also helped to destroy those kings and armies of the hill country. As Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel, ‘Sun, stand still', the sun stood still until the enemies were completely destroyed.

God gives complete victories to those who trust in him. May we trust in God daily and win the complete victory.


Application: Father, help us to depend on you daily, and win the victory in you.
One Word: I have given them into your hand.
