And it came H1961 to pass, when Israel H3478 had made an end H3615 of slaying H2026 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Ai H5857 in the field, H7704 in the wilderness H4057 wherein H834 they chased H7291 them, and when they were all H3605 fallen H5307 on the edge H6310 of the sword, H2719 until H5704 they were consumed, H8552 that all H3605 the Israelites H3478 returned H7725 to Ai, H5857 and smote H5221 it with the edge H6310 of the sword. H2719

And Joshua H3091 burnt H8313 Ai, H5857 and made H7760 it an heap H8510 for ever, H5769 even a desolation H8077 to this H2088 day. H3117

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 they utterly destroyed H2763 all H3605 that was in the city, H5892 both man H376 and woman, H802 young H5288 and old, H2205 and ox, H7794 and sheep, H7716 and ass, H2543 with the edge H6310 of the sword. H2719

Now it came H1961 to pass, when Adonizedec H139 king H4428 of Jerusalem H3389 had heard H8085 how H3588 Joshua H3091 had taken H3920 Ai, H5857 and had utterly destroyed H2763 it; as he had done H6213 to Jericho H3405 and her king, H4428 so H3651 he had done H6213 to Ai H5857 and her king; H4428 and how H3588 the inhabitants H3427 of Gibeon H1391 had made peace H7999 with Israel, H3478 and were among H7130 them;

And that day H3117 Joshua H3091 took H3920 Makkedah, H4719 and smote H5221 it with the edge H6310 of the sword, H2719 and the king H4428 thereof he utterly destroyed, H2763 them, and all H3605 the souls H5315 that were therein; he let none H3808 remain: H8300 and he did H6213 to the king H4428 of Makkedah H4719 as he did H6213 to the king H4428 of Jericho. H3405

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to me, Fear H3372 him not: for I will deliver H5414 him, and all H3605 his people, H5971 and his land, H776 into your hand; H3027 and you shall do H6213 to him as you did H6213 to Sihon H5511 king H4428 of the Amorites, H567 which H834 dwelled H3427 at Heshbon. H2809

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

But the women, H802 and the little H2945 ones, and the cattle, H929 and all H3605 that is in the city, H5892 even all H3605 the spoil H7998 thereof, shall you take H962 to yourself; and you shall eat H398 the spoil H7998 of your enemies, H341 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 has given H5414 you.

Though H518 he heap H6651 up silver H3701 as the dust, H6083 and prepare H3559 raiment H4403 as the clay; H2563

He may prepare H3559 it, but the just H6662 shall put H3847 it on, and the innocent H5355 shall divide H2505 the silver. H3701

Surely H389 every man H376 walks H1980 in a vain show: H6754 surely H389 they are disquieted H1993 in vain: H1892 he heaps H6651 up riches, and knows H3045 not who H4310 shall gather H622 them.

A good H2896 man leaves an inheritance H5157 to his children's H1121 children: H1121 and the wealth H2428 of the sinner H2398 is laid H6845 up for the just. H6662

A faithful H530 man H376 shall abound H7227 with blessings: H1293 but he that makes haste H213 to be rich H6238 shall not be innocent. H5352

As the partridge H7124 sits H1716 on eggs, H1000 and hatches H3205 them not; so he that gets H6213 riches, H6239 and not by right, H4941 shall leave H5800 them in the middle H2677 of his days, H3117 and at his end H319 shall be a fool. H5036

But God G2316 said G2036 to him, You fool, G878 this G5026 night G3571 your soul G5590 shall be required G523 of you: then G1161 whose G5101 shall those things be, which G3739 you have provided? G2090

So G3779 is he that lays up treasure G2343 for himself, G1438 and is not rich G4147 toward G1519 God. G2316

Then you shall rise H6965 up from the ambush, H693 and seize H3423 on the city: H5892 for the LORD H3068 your God H430 will deliver H5414 it into your hand. H3027

Joshua H3091 therefore sent H7971 them forth: and they went H3212 to lie in ambush, H693 and stayed H3427 between H996 Bethel H1008 and Ai, H5857 on the west H3220 side of Ai: H5857 but Joshua H3091 lodged H3885 that night H3915 among H8432 the people. H5971

And he took H3947 about five H2568 thousand H505 men, H376 and set H7760 them to lie in ambush H693 between H996 Bethel H1008 and Ai, H5857 on the west H3220 side of the city. H5892

And it came H1961 to pass, when the king H4428 of Ai H5857 saw H7200 it, that they hurried H4116 and rose H7925 up early, H7925 and the men H582 of the city H5892 went H3318 out against H7125 Israel H3478 to battle, H4421 he and all H3605 his people, H5971 at a time appointed, H4150 before H6440 the plain; H6160 but he knew H3045 not that there were liers in ambush H693 against him behind H310 the city. H5892

And the ambush H693 arose H6965 quickly H4120 out of their place, H4725 and they ran H7323 as soon as he had stretched H5186 out his hand: H3027 and they entered H935 into the city, H5892 and took H3920 it, and hurried H4116 and set the city H5892 on fire. H784

And Israel H3478 set H7760 liers in wait H693 round H5439 about Gibeah. H1390

And the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 went H3318 out against H7125 the people, H5971 and were drawn H5423 away from the city; H5892 and they began H2490 to smite H5221 of the people, H5971 and kill, H2491 as at other times, H6471 in the highways, H4546 of which H834 one H259 goes H5927 up to the house H1008 of God, H1008 and the other H259 to Gibeah H1390 in the field, H7704 about thirty H7970 men H376 of Israel. H3478

And all H3605 the men H376 of Israel H3478 rose H6965 up out of their place, H4725 and put themselves in array H6186 at Baaltamar: H1193 and the liers in wait H693 of Israel H3478 came H1518 forth H1518 out of their places, H4725 even out of the meadows H4629 of Gibeah. H1390

But Jeroboam H3379 caused an ambush H3993 to come H935 about H5437 behind H310 them: so they were before H6440 Judah, H3063 and the ambush H3993 was behind H310 them.

And when H6256 they began H2490 to sing H7440 and to praise, H8416 the LORD H3068 set H5414 ambushes H693 against H5921 the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 Moab, H4124 and mount H2022 Seir, H8165 which were come H935 against Judah; H3063 and they were smitten. H5062

Set H5375 up the standard H5251 on the walls H2346 of Babylon, H894 make the watch H4929 strong, H2388 set H6965 up the watchmen, H8104 prepare H3559 the ambushes: H693 for the LORD H3068 has both H1571 devised H2161 and done H6213 that which H834 he spoke H1696 against H413 the inhabitants H3427 of Babylon.
