This battlefield is an IsraelNation of the Jewish People Travel prime pick.
The battle most identified with the Latrun area is the battle of Joshua ben Nun, which took place in the area of Beit Horon against the five Amorite kings in the 13th century BCE. Joshua, who made an alliance with the Givonites, came to protect them when the five kings sought to punish them for that pact. His famous cry, "Sun, stand still upon Giv'on; and moon, in the valley of Ayalon" (Joshua 10:12-13)
came in the middle of Friday, when the sun was about to set. Since Joshua did not wish to fight on a Saturday, he asked God to change the course of the sun in order to buy time. His wish came true and on that very day he won a great and meaningful victory, which led to additional conquests in the area.
