1563. THE VALLEY OF AYALON, SITE OF THE GREAT BATTLE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE AMORITES. IN AYALON JOSHUA PRAYED FOR THE SUN AND THE MOON TO STAND STILL WHILE HE WAS FIGHTING THE AMORITE KINGS; ‘ Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel: ‘Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon’ JOSH 10:12
