Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 10:2:

• Kupsabiny: “When the king of Jerusalem had heard like that, he became very afraid because the city of Gibeon was bigger than the cities of other kings. It was bigger than Ai and all its people were fierce warriors.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “The king and his people became very much afraid, because Gibeon was a large city as royal city, it was larger than the city of Ai, and its men were men who knew how to fight well.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “He and his people became-afraid for he knew that Gibeon (was) a mighty city which also has (its) own king. And this (was) larger than Ai and its soldiers (were) good in-fighting.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Because of that, he and the people whom he ruled became very afraid, because Gibeon was an important city, like the other cities that had kings. And even though Gibeon was a larger city than Ai and all its soldiers were good fighters, they thought Joshua’s army might defeat them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
