And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, [and] were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: [they were] more which died with hailstones than [they] whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

Commentary on Joshua 10:11

Theological / Devotional

Great stones. Defined in this same verse as “hailstones.” The LXX has “hailstones” in both instances. It is hardly necessary to think of these stones as being meteors, or literal “stones.” God had on a previous occasion used hailstones as an agency of destruction (Exodus 9:18-26). Records of several storms in the East are preserved, in which it is stated that the hailstones were found to weigh from one half to three quarters of a pound. In Northern China some have been known to weigh several pounds and to have killed cattle. God has in store “treasurers of the hail” (Job 38:22, 23) to use in the day of final battle (Revelation 16:21).
