And the king of Ai they took alive and brought him to Joshua.

And Joshua called unto the twelve men which he had prepared of the children of Israel, of every tribe a man,

And Joshua said, "Inasmuch as thou hast troubled us: the LORD shall trouble thee this day." And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burnt them with fire, and overwhelmed them with stones.

Kiriathaim, Sibmah and Zerethshahar in mount Emak;

And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.

And ye shall compass the city, all that be men of war, and go round about it once: and so shall you do six days.

and returned unto Joshua and said unto him, "Let not all the people go up, but let as it were a two or three thousand men go up and destroy Ai, and make not all the people to labour thither, for they are but few."

And so there went up thither about a three thousand men, which fled before the men of Ai.

And Joshua said, "Ah, Lord Jehovah, wherefore hast thou brought this people over Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us? Would to God we had adventured and dwelt on the other side Jordan.

As soon, therefore, as ye have taken the city, see that ye set it on fire. According to the commandment of the LORD see that ye do: behold, I have charged you."

Saying, 'That the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Ruben and of Gad: ye have no part therefore in the LORD.' And so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.

But this we will do to them and let them live: and so shall no wrath be upon us because of the oath which we sware unto them."

For Joshua plucked not his hand back again which he stretched out with the spear, until they had utterly destroyed all the inhabiters of Ai.

And they will come out after us, until we have plucked them away from the city. For they will say, 'They flee before us, as at the first time': for we will flee before them.

And he commanded them, saying, "See that ye lie await unto the town on the backside thereof. Go not very far from the city, and see that ye be all ready.

And they answered Joshua and said, "It was told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabiters thereof out of your sight, and therefore we were exceeding sore afraid of our lives because of you.

Then shall ye rise up from lying await and destroy the city: For the LORD your God will deliver it into your hands.

And I and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city. And when they come out against us, as at the first time, then will we flee before them.

And the lords said unto them, "Let them live, that they may be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation," as the lords said unto them.

And now therefore cursed be you, and there shall not cease to be of you, bondmen and hewers of wood and drawers of water unto the house of my God."

Then Joshua sent for them, and talked with them, and said, "Wherefore have ye beguiled us and yet ye dwell among us?

And now, behold, we are in thine hand; as it seemeth good and right in thine eyes to do unto us, so do."

Be strong and bold: for unto this people shalt thou divide the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
