11. Formal Translation And it came to pass, as they fled before Israel and reached the descent of Beth-Horon, that the LORD {Yahweh, Divine Warrior} threw down great stones upon them from heaven to Azekah, and more died by the stones of hail than were killed by the sword of the sons of Israel. |
11. Dynamic Translation As the enemy ran away from Israel down the slope toward Beth-Horon, the LORD {Yahweh, Powerful Defender} hurled massive hailstones on them from the sky all the way to Azekah, and many died—more were killed by the hail than by the swords of the Israelites. |
