After their victory, Joshua and his fighting men returned to their camp at Gilgal.
Finally, Joshua and all the Israelite army returned to their base camp in Gilgal.
The Gibeonites sent out a call for help to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal: “Don’t abandon us, for we are your servants! Come quickly and save us! Help us, for the Amorite kings of the hill country have surrounded us!”
It was the day Yahweh himself fought for Israel! There has never been a day like it before or since—a day when Yahweh obeyed the voice of a man!
Meanwhile, the five Amorite kings fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah.
