Biblical scripture: Joshua 10:25 (And it came to pass, that all the Canaanites that dwelt in the mountain, and they that were in the plain, even those that dwelt in Gaza, and in Ekron, heard that he was come up, and they went out every man into his city, and prepared themselves. And the men of Gibeon were so foolish, that they went and hid themselves on the heights, taking no notice of it, and they sate in the midst of their strong holds, and left not the doors of their cities open, neither went out any man after them. And the LORD confounded them, and put to rout before Israel, who pursued them, and he took great spoil of them at Gibeon; and he smote them slain unto Gibeon, and pursued them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.)
