Abstract
In this paper, we confirm several conjectured congruences of Sun concerning the divisibility of binomial sums. For example, with help of a quadratic hypergeometric transformation, we prove that for any prime , where is the -th Pell number. Further, we also propose three new congruences of the same type.
