Stones from Heaven and Celestial Tricks: The Battle at Gibeon in Joshua 10
Joshua 10 reveals narrative dissonance between two stories: the great Gibeon battle (vv. 10-14) and the story of five kings at the cave at Makkedah (vv. 16-27).

The goal is to understand the logic behind the combination of such distinct narratives in the description of a southern conquest. |
