Joshua 8:23-29
23And the kingH4428 of AiH5857 they tookH8610 aliveH2416, and broughtH7126 him to JoshuaH3091.
24And it came to pass, when IsraelH3478 had made an endH3615 of slayingH2026 all the inhabitantsH3427 of AiH5857 in the fieldH7704, in the wildernessH4057 wherein they chasedH7291 them, and when they were all fallenH5307 on the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, until they were consumedH8552, that all the IsraelitesH3478 returnedH7725 unto AiH5857, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
25And so it was, that all that fellH5307 that dayH3117, both of menH376 and womenH802, were twelveH6240H8147 thousandH505, even all the menH582 of AiH5857.
26For JoshuaH3091 drewH7725 not his handH3027 backH7725, wherewith he stretched outH5186 the spearH3591, until he had utterly destroyedH2763 all the inhabitantsH3427 of AiH5857.
27Only the cattleH929 and the spoilH7998 of that cityH5892 IsraelH3478 took for a preyH962 unto themselves, according unto the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 which he commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091.
28And JoshuaH3091 burntH8313 AiH5857, and madeH7760 it an heapH8510 for everH5769, even a desolationH8077 unto this dayH3117.
29And the kingH4428 of AiH5857 he hangedH8518 on a treeH6086 until eventideH6153H6256: and as soon as the sunH8121 was downH935, JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680 that they should takeH3381 his carcaseH5038 downH3381 from the treeH6086, and castH7993 it at the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892, and raiseH6965 thereon a greatH1419 heapH1530 of stonesH68, that remaineth unto this dayH3117.
