The Amorite Kings Attack Gibeon
Joshua 10 is a chapter of divine intervention and decisive victory. God fought for Israel with supernatural signs and natural forces, demonstrating His power over creation and His commitment to His covenant people.
Joshua 10 portrays unusually destructive hailstones under God’s control, echoing the Exodus hail plague in which YHWH used hail as an instrument of judgment against Egypt. Joshua emphasizes that more enemies died from the hail than from Israel’s sword, underscoring divine agency in the battle.
Job’s poetic description of hail reserved for the day of battle provides a striking canonical parallel to Joshua 10, where YHWH uses a devastating hailstorm in Israel’s battle against the Amorite kings.
