There is a very simple explanation in the understanding of the sun and the moon "standing still" for a day. If the north and south poles were reversed it would create a long day. A simple way to see this phenomenon is to set a concrete mixer in motion and watch intently as it is turned over as in emptying it. It gives the impression of standing still and is a perfect example of the long day of Joshua

Jack, the account in Josh 10:5 speaks of Gentile nations which inhabited that area. See also Josh 15:63, which shows the inhabitants of Jerusalem as the Jebusites. Israel was still being led by Joshua & were encamped at Gilgal (as part of their journeyings) when the call came to him from Gibeon requesting Joshua's help. So Israel only had Judges (after Joshua) who governed & led Israel till the time of the kings. And King Saul, not God's chosen but the one whom the people desired, was Israel's first king (1 Sam 11:15).
