Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with ^cthe staff of God in my hand.” 10 So ^dJoshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and ^eHur went up to the top of the hill. 11 Whenever Moses ^fheld up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and ^gHur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13 And ^hJoshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword.
