The walls of Jericho came tumbling down! The city of Ai was destroyed! The people of Gibeon, a big city, surrendered without a fight! The Canaanites were frightened of the Israelites. So, the five kings of Canaan decided to form an alliance and organize a joint army to attack the people of Gibeon. The people of Gibeon had made a covenant with the Israelites.
True to his promises, Joshua decided to go and defend Gibeon. God reassured Joshua, “Don't be afraid. I will help you defeat them.”
Joshua fervently prayed, “Sun, stay put over Gibeon. Moon, don’t come out from Aijalon Valley.” Sure enough, the sun and the moon did not move until the Israelites finished off their enemies. On that day and for a whole day, the sun did not go down but stayed put over Gibeon.
