In our last story, we learned about the sin of Achan and how Israel was not able to withstand AI, but after the Lord identified Achan and he was dealt with, the Lord told Joshua to take up the army against Ai again. They were victorious and destroyed the city and then Joshua read out the book of the law. In this story, we learn about the deceit of the Gibeonites how Israel decided to deal with their lie, and also how the sun stood still while the Israelites took revenge as inspired by the book of Joshua.
