• Josh 8:15-29 : 15 Joshua and all Israel pretended to be beaten before them and fled toward the wilderness. 16 All the people of Ai were summoned to pursue them. They chased after Joshua and were drawn away from the city. 17 Not a man remained in Ai or Bethel who did not go out after Israel. They left the city unguarded and pursued Israel. 18 The Lord said to Joshua, "Stretch out the javelin in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand." So Joshua stretched out the javelin in his hand toward the city. 19 As soon as he stretched out his hand, the ambush rose quickly from their position, ran into the city, captured it, and immediately set it on fire. 20 When the men of Ai looked back, they saw the smoke of the city rising to the sky, and they had no power to flee in any direction. The Israelites who had fled toward the wilderness now turned against their pursuers. 21 When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had captured the city and that its smoke was rising, they turned back and struck down the men of Ai. 22 The others came out from the city to meet them, so the men of Ai were surrounded by the Israelites, some on one side and some on the other. They struck them down until no survivors or fugitives were left. 23 But they captured the king of Ai alive and brought him to Joshua. 24 When Israel finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the open field and in the wilderness where they had pursued them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword until they were completely destroyed, all Israel returned to Ai and struck it down with the sword. 25 On that day, twelve thousand men and women, all the people of Ai, fell. 26 Joshua did not draw back the hand with which he had stretched out the javelin until he had completely destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 27 Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took for themselves, according to the word of the Lord that He commanded Joshua. 28 So Joshua burned Ai and made it a permanent heap of ruins, a desolation to this day. 29 He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening. At sunset, Joshua gave the command, and they took his body down from the tree, threw it at the entrance of the city gate, and piled over it a large heap of stones, which remains to this day.
