Joshua 8:23-29
23ButH853 they tookH8610 the kingH4428 of AiH5857 aliveH2416 and broughtH7126 himH853 toH413 JoshuaH3091.
When IsraelH3478 had finishedH3615 killingH2026 allH3605 the menH3427 of AiH5857 who had pursuedH7291 them into the fieldH7704 and wildernessH4057, and when everyH3605 last one of them had fallenH5307 by the swordH6310H2719H5704H8552, allH3605 the IsraelitesH3478 returnedH7725 to AiH5857 and putH5221 itH853 to the swordH6310H2719 as well. 25A totalH3605 of twelveH8147H6240 thousandH505 menH376 andH5704 womenH802 fellH5307 thatH1931 dayH3117—allH3605 the peopleH582 of AiH5857. 26JoshuaH3091 did notH3808 draw backH7725 the handH3027 thatH834 heldH5186 his battle lanceH3591 untilH5704 he had devoted to destructionH27631 allH3605 who livedH3427 in AiH5857. 27IsraelH3478 tookH962 for themselves onlyH7535 the cattleH929 and plunderH7998 of thatH1931 cityH5892, as the LORDH3068 had commandedH1697H834H6680 JoshuaH3091.
28So JoshuaH3091 burnedH8313 AiH58572 and made itH7760 a permanentH5769 heap of ruinsH8510, a desolationH8077 toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117. 29He hungH8518 the kingH4428 of AiH5857 onH5921 a treeH60863 untilH5704H6256 eveningH6153, and at sunsetH935H8121 JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680 that they take down the bodyH5038H3381 fromH4480 the treeH6086 and throw it downH7993 atH413 the entranceH6607 of the cityH5892 gateH8179. And over itH5921 they raisedH6965 a largeH1419 pileH1530 of rocksH68, which remains toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117.
