Book Of Jashar

Joshua 10:13-22 - And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day. There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man, for the Lord fought for Israel. So Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal. These five kings fled and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. And it was told to Joshua, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.” And Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave and set men by it to guard them, but do not stay there yourselves. Pursue your enemies; attack their rear guard. Do not let them enter their cities, for the Lord your God has given them into your hand.” When Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished striking them with a great blow until they were wiped out, and when the remnant that remained of them had entered into the fortified cities, then all the people returned safe to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah. Not a man moved his tongue against any of the people of Israel. Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me from the cave.”

Judges 5:31 - “So may all your enemies perish, O Lord! But your friends be like the sun as he rises in his might.”

Exodus 14:14 - The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”

Application:

• ·         As Lord of the covenant and royal Head of His people Israel, He demanded their love, just as kings in the ancient Near East demanded the love of their subjects.
• ·         Although Israel was armed for battle and marching out boldly, the victory would be won by God alone.
