Joshua 8:23-29

23And the kingH4428 of AiH5857 they tookH8610 aliveH2416, and broughtH7126 him to JoshuaH3091.

24And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when IsraelH3478 had madeH1961 an endH3615 of slayingH5221 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of AiH5857 in the fieldH7704, in the wildernessH4057 whereinH834 they pursuedH7291 them, and they were allH3605 fallenH5307 by the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, untilH5704 they were consumedH3615, that allH3605 IsraelH3478 returnedH7725 unto AiH5857, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.

25And allH3605 that fellH5307 that dayH3117, bothH8147 of menH376 and womenH802, were twelveH6240 thousandH505, evenH5704 allH3605 the menH376 of AiH5857.

26For JoshuaH3091 drewH7725 notH3808 backH7725 his handH3027 wherewith he stretchedH5186 outH5186 the javelinH3591, untilH5704 he had utterly destroyed allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of AiH5857.

27OnlyH7535 the cattleH929 and the spoilH7998 of that cityH5892 IsraelH3478 tookH853 for a preyH962 unto themselvesH1992, according unto the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 whichH834 he commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091.

28SoH2088 JoshuaH3091 burntH8313 AiH5857, and madeH7760 it an heapH8510 for everH5769, evenH5704 a desolationH8077, unto this dayH3117.

29And the kingH4428 of AiH5857 he hangedH8518 on a treeH6086 untilH5704 the eventide: and at the goingH935 downH3381 of the sunH8121 JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680, and they tookH853 his carcase downH3381 from the treeH6086, and castH7993 it at the enteringH935 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892, and raisedH6965 thereonH5921 a greatH1419 heapH1530 of stonesH68, unto this dayH3117.
