Joshua 8:28

A Review Of The Fighting

²⁷ Nevertheless, the cattle and the spoil of that city, Israel took as their own prey, - according to the word of Yahweh, which he commanded Joshua. ²⁸ So then Joshua burned Ai, - and made of it an age-abiding heap - a desolation, as it remaineth until this day. ²⁹ And, the king of Ai, hanged he on a tree until eventide, - but, at the going in of the sun, Joshua gave command and they took down his dead body from the tree, and cast it in at the opening of the gate of the city, and raised up over it a great heap of stones - which remaineth until this day.
