Joshua 10 Bible Study Guide — Summary, Themes & Outline

Joshua 10 is one of the most dramatic chapters in the conquest narrative. Five Amorite kings attack Gibeon for making peace with Israel. Joshua marches all night to relieve Gibeon, and Yahweh intervenes with a hailstorm and the sun standing still over Gibeon. The chapter ends with the execution of the five kings and the capture of the southern cities. The claim is unmistakable: no army, no alliance, no cosmic power can stand against the God who fights for his people.
