五王合攻基遍
The Sun Stands Still
第十章 Joshua 10
1.耶路撒冷王亞多尼．洗德聽見約書亞奪了艾城，盡行毀滅，怎樣待耶利哥和耶利哥的王，也照樣待艾城和艾城的王，又聽見基遍的居民與以色列人立了和約，住在他們中間，
Now Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai and totally destroyed[a] it, doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and that the people of Gibeon had made a treaty of peace with Israel and had become their allies.
Footnotes:
a. Joshua 10:1 The Hebrew term refers to the irrevocable giving over of things or persons to the LORD, often by totally destroying them; also in verses 28, 35, 37, 39 and 40.
2.就甚懼怕；因為基遍是一座大城，如都城一般，比艾城更大，並且城內的人都是勇士。
He and his people were very much alarmed at this, because Gibeon was an important city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were good fighters.
3.所以耶路撒冷王亞多尼．洗德打發人去見希伯崙王何咸、耶末王毘蘭、拉吉王雅非亞，和伊磯倫王底璧，說：
So Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem appealed to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish and Debir king of Eglon.
4.「求你們上來幫助我，我們好攻打基遍，因為他們與約書亞和以色列人立了和約。」
「Come up and help me attack Gibeon,」he said, 「because it has made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.」
5.於是五個亞摩利王，就是耶路撒冷王、希伯崙王、耶末王、拉吉王、伊磯倫王，大家聚集，率領他們的眾軍上去，對著基遍安營，攻打基遍。
Then the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon—joined forces. They moved up with all their troops and took up positions against Gibeon and attacked it.
6.基遍人就打發人往吉甲的營中去見約書亞，說：「你不要袖手不顧你的僕人，求你速速上來拯救我們，幫助我們，因為住山地亞摩利人的諸王都聚集攻擊我們。」
The Gibeonites then sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: 「Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because all the Amorite kings from the hill country have joined forces against us.」
7.於是約書亞和他一切兵丁，並大能的勇士，都從吉甲上去。
So Joshua marched up from Gilgal with his entire army, including all the best fighting men.
8.耶和華對約書亞說：「不要怕他們；因為我已將他們交在你手裏，他們無一人能在你面前站立得住。」
The LORD said to Joshua, 「Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you.」
9.約書亞就終夜從吉甲上去，猛然臨到他們那裏。
After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua took them by surprise.
10.耶和華使他們在以色列人面前潰亂。約書亞在基遍大大地殺敗他們，追趕他們，在伯．和崙的上坡路擊殺他們，直到亞西加和瑪基大。
The LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, so Joshua and the Israelites defeated them completely at Gibeon. Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon and cut them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah.
11.他們在以色列人面前逃跑，正在伯．和崙下坡的時候，耶和華從天上降大冰雹【原文作石頭】在他們身上，直降到亞西加，打死他們。被冰雹打死的，比以色列人用刀殺死的還多。
As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the LORD hurled large hailstones down on them, and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites. |
