And the king H4428 of Ai H5857 they took H8610 alive, H2416 and brought H7126 him to Joshua. H3091

And so it was, that all H3605 that fell H5307 that day, H3117 both of men H376 and women, H802 were twelve H8147 H6240 thousand, H505 even all H3605 the men H582 of Ai. H5857

Only H7535 the cattle H929 and the spoil H7998 of that city H5892 Israel H3478 took for a prey H962 to themselves, H1992 according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 which H834 he commanded H6680 Joshua. H3091

And the king H4428 of Ai H5857 he hanged H8518 on H5921 a tree H6086 until H5704 eventide: H6256 H6153 and as soon as the sun H8121 was down, H935 Joshua H3091 commanded H6680 that they should take H3381 his carcass H5038 down H3381 from the tree, H6086 and cast H7993 it at H413 the entering H6607 of the gate H8179 of the city, H5892 and raise H6965 thereon H5921 a great H1419 heap H1530 of stones, H68 that remains to this H2088 day. H3117

And it came H1961 to pass at the end H7097 of three H7969 days H3117 after H310 they had made H3772 a league H1285 with them, that they heard H8085 that they were their neighbors, H7138 and that they dwelled H3427 among H7130 them.

And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 smote H5221 them not, because H3588 the princes H5387 of the congregation H5712 had sworn H7650 to them by the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel. H3478 And all H3605 the congregation H5712 murmured H3885 against H5921 the princes. H5387

This H2063 we will do H6213 to them; we will even let them live, H2421 lest H3808 wrath H7110 be on us, because H5921 of the oath H7621 which H834 we swore H7650 to them.

And Joshua H3091 called H7121 for them, and he spoke H1696 to them, saying, H559 Why H4100 have you beguiled H7411 us, saying, H559 We are very H3966 far H7350 from you; when you dwell H3427 among H7130 us?

And they answered H6030 Joshua, H3091 and said, H559 Because H3588 it was certainly told H5046 your servants, H5650 how that the LORD H3068 your God H430 commanded H6680 his servant H5650 Moses H4872 to give H5414 you all H3605 the land, H776 and to destroy H8045 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 from before H6440 you, therefore we were sore H3966 afraid H3372 of our lives H5315 because H6440 of you, and have done H6213 this H2088 thing. H1697

And so H3651 did H6213 he to them, and delivered H5337 them out of the hand H3027 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 that they slew H2026 them not.
