Joshua 8:14-23

14It cameH1961 about when the kingH4428 of AiH5857 sawH7200 it, that the menH376 of the cityH5892 hurriedH4116 and roseH7925 up earlyH7925 and wentH3318 out to meetH7122 IsraelH3478 in battleH4421, he and allH3605 his peopleH5971 at the appointedH4150 placeH4150 beforeH6440 the desertH6160 plainH6160. But he did not knowH3045 that there was an ambushH693 against him behindH4480H310 the cityH5892. 15JoshuaH3091 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 pretendedH5060 to be beatenH5060 beforeH6440 them, and fledH5127 1by the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057. 16And allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were in the cityH5892 were calledH2199 togetherH2199 to pursueH7291 them, and they pursuedH7291 JoshuaH3091 and 2were drawnH5423 awayH5423 from the cityH5892. 17So not a manH376 was leftH7604 in AiH5857 or BethelH1008 whoH834 had not goneH3318 out afterH310 IsraelH3478, and they leftH5800 the cityH5892 3unguardedH6605 and pursuedH7291 IsraelH3478.

18Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, “4StretchH5186 out the javelinH3591 that is in your handH3027 towardH413 AiH5857, for I will giveH5414 it into your handH3027.” So JoshuaH3091 stretchedH5186 out the javelinH3591 that was in his handH3027 towardH413 the cityH5892. 19The men in ambushH693 roseH6965 quicklyH4120 from their placeH4725, and when he had stretchedH5186 out his handH3027, they ranH7323 and enteredH935 the cityH5892 and capturedH3920 it, and they quicklyH4116 setH3341 the cityH5892 on fireH784. 20When the menH376 of AiH5857 turnedH6437 5backH310 and lookedH7200, beholdH2009, the smokeH6227 of the cityH5892 ascendedH5927 to the skyH8064, and they hadH1961 noH3808 placeH3027 to fleeH5127 thisH2088 wayH2008 or that, for the peopleH5971 who had been fleeingH5127 to the wildernessH4057 turnedH2015 againstH413 the pursuersH7291. 21When JoshuaH3091 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the men in ambushH693 had capturedH3920 the cityH5892 and that the smokeH6227 of the cityH5892 ascendedH5927, they turnedH7725 backH7725 and 6slewH5221 the menH376 of AiH5857. 227The othersH428 cameH3318 out from the cityH5892 to encounterH7122 them, so that they were trapped in the midstH8432 of IsraelH3478, 8someH428 on thisH2088 sideH2088 and someH428 on that sideH2088; and they 9slewH5221 them untilH5704 10noH1115 one was leftH7604 11of those whoH8300 survivedH8300 or escapedH6412. 23But they tookH8610 aliveH2416 the kingH4428 of AiH5857 and broughtH7126 him to JoshuaH3091.
