Debir was the Amorite king of Eglon during the time of Joshua's conquest of Canaan. He joined a coalition of five Amorite kings led by Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem, to attack Gibeon after the Gibeonites made a peace treaty with Israel (Jos.10.3-4). In response to the Gibeonites' request for help, Joshua and the Israelite army marched all night from Gilgal and caught the Amorite kings by surprise. The Lord threw the Amorite armies into confusion, and Joshua's forces defeated them decisively (Jos.10.5-10). As the Amorite kings fled, the Lord caused large hailstones to fall on them, killing more of them than the Israelites did with their swords (Jos.10.11). Joshua then called for the sun and moon to stand still, allowing the Israelites to complete their victory (Jos.10.12-13). The five Amorite kings, including Debir, were found hiding in a cave at Makkedah. They were captured, brought before Joshua, and executed (Jos.10.16-27). Debir's defeat, along with the other Amorite kings, was a significant victory for the Israelites as they continued their conquest of the Promised Land under Joshua's leadership.
