Some visitors arrive in camp with cracked wineskins, moldy bread, and sandals worn almost to holes, claiming they have walked from very far away. Joshua and the leaders see their tired clothes and old food and decide to make a peace promise without stopping to ask God first. Only later do they discover that these travelers actually live just over the hill. Now Israel must figure out what to do when they have been tricked, yet have promised to keep these new neighbors safe.

Instead of throwing away their word, Joshua and the leaders choose to keep the promise and give the Gibeonites a new place among them as helpers. The people learn that choices made in a hurry can still be met with honesty afterward. Just when things begin to settle, five angry kings join their armies and march toward Gibeon to punish them for making peace. The city that once tricked Israel suddenly needs Israel's help.

In the rush that follows, Joshua leads an all night march and reaches Gibeon at sunrise, surprising the enemy and scattering them. Readers will see the sky open with pounding hailstones and watch a day that seems to stretch longer so the battle can be finished. The story is told in clear, gentle language that lets children feel the tension of the trick, the weight of a promise, and the wonder of a God who can listen to a bold prayer and protect those who have taken refuge under his care.
