Joshua 8:15-29

And Joshua H3091 and all H3605 Israel H3478 made as if they were beaten H5060 before H6440 them, and fled H5127 by the way H1870 of the wilderness. H4057

And all H3605 the people H5971 that were in Ai H5892 were called H2199 together to pursue H7291 after H310 them: and they pursued H7291 after H310 Joshua, H3091 and were drawn H5423 away from the city. H5892

And there was not a man H376 left H7604 in Ai H5857 or Bethel, H1008 that went H3318 not out after H310 Israel: H3478 and they left H5800 the city H5892 open, H6605 and pursued H7291 after Israel. H3478

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to Joshua, H3091 Stretch H5186 out the spear H3591 that is in your hand H3027 toward H413 Ai; H5857 for I will give H5414 it into your hand. H3027 And Joshua H3091 stretched H5186 out the spear H3591 that he had in his hand H3027 toward H413 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 when the men H582 of Ai H5857 looked H6437 behind H310 them, they saw, H7200 and, behold, H2009 the smoke H6227 of the city H5892 ascended H5927 up to heaven, H8064 and they had no H3808 power H3027 to flee H5127 this H2007 way H2008 or that way: H2008 and the people H5971 that fled H5127 to the wilderness H4057 turned H2015 back H2015 on the pursuers. H7291

And when Joshua H3091 and all H3605 Israel H3478 saw H7200 that the ambush H693 had taken H3920 the city, H5892 and that the smoke H6227 of the city H5892 ascended, H5927 then they turned H7725 again, H7725 and slew H5221 the men H582 of Ai. H5857

And the other H428 issued H3318 out of the city H5892 against H7125 them; so they were in the middle H8432 of Israel, H3478 some H428 on this H2088 side, and some H428 on that side: and they smote H5221 them, so H5704 that they let none H1115 of them remain H8300 or escape. H6412

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

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 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

For Joshua H3091 drew H7725 not his hand H3027 back, H7725 with which H834 he stretched H5186 out the spear, H3591 until H5704 he had utterly destroyed H2763 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 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 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.
