But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.

And the Lord, in answer to the voice of Israel, gave the Canaanites up to them; and they put them and their towns completely to destruction: and that place was named Hormah.

At that time we took all his towns, and gave them over to complete destruction, together with men, women, and children; we had no mercy on any:

And we put them to the curse, every town together with men, women, and children.

And they put everything in the town to the curse; men and women, young and old, ox and sheep and ass, they put to death without mercy.

For Joshua did not take back his hand with the outstretched spear till the destruction of the people of Ai was complete.

For the Lord made them strong in heart to go to war against Israel, so that he might give them up to the curse without mercy, and that destruction might come on them, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.


Then, after the destruction of all the people of Ai in the field and in the waste land where they went after them, and when all the people had been put to death without mercy, all Israel went back to Ai, and put to death all who were in it without mercy. On that day twelve thousand were put to death, men and women, all the people of Ai. For Joshua did not take back his hand with the outstretched spear till the destruction of the people of Ai was complete.
