H3068
And Jehovah
H559
said
H3091
unto Joshua,
H3372
Fear
H2865
not, neither be thou dismayed:
H3947
take
H5971
all the people
H4421
of war
H6965
with thee, and arise,
H5927
go up
H5857
to Ai;
H7200
see,
H5414
I have given
H3027
into thy hand
H4428
the king
H5857
of Ai,
H5971
and his people,
H5892
and his city,
H776
and his land;
2
H6213
And thou shalt do
H5857
to Ai
H4428
and her king
H6213
as thou didst
H3405
unto Jericho
H4428
and her king:
H7998
only the spoil
H929
thereof, and the cattle
H962
thereof, shall ye take for a prey
H7760
unto yourselves: set
H693
thee an ambush
H5892
for the city
H310
behind it.
3
H3091
So Joshua
H6965
arose,
H5971
and all the people
H4421
of war,
H5927
to go up
H5857
to Ai:
H3091
and Joshua
H977
chose out
H7970
thirty
H505
thousand
H1368
men, the mighty
H376
men
H2428
of valor,
H7971
and sent them forth
H3915
by night.
4
H6680
And he commanded
H559
them, saying,
H7200
Behold,
H693
ye shall lie in ambush
H5892
against the city,
H310
behind
H5892
the city;
H7368
go
H3966
not very
H7368
far
H5892
from the city,
H3559
but be ye all ready:
5
H5971
and I, and all the people
H7126
that are with me, will approach
H5892
unto the city.
H3318
And it shall come to pass, when they come out
H7125
against
H7223
us, as at the first,
H5127
that we will flee
H6440
before them;
6
H3318
and they will come out
H310
after
H5423
us, till we have drawn
H5892
them away from the city;
H559
for they will say,
H5127
They flee
H6440
before
H7223
us, as at the first:
H5127
so we will flee
H6440
before them;
7
H6965
and ye shall rise up
H693
from the ambush,
H3423
and take possession
H5892
of the city:
H3068
for Jehovah
H430
your God
H5414
will deliver
H3027
it into your hand.
8
H8610
And it shall be, when ye have seized
H5892
upon the city,
H3341
that ye shall set
H5892
the city
H784
on fire;
H1697
according to the word
H3068
of Jehovah
H6213
shall ye do:
H7200
see,
H6680
I have commanded you.
9
H3091
And Joshua
H7971
sent them forth;
H3212
and they went
H3993
to the ambushment,
H3427
and abode
H1008
between Beth-el
H5857
and Ai,
H3220
on the west side
H5857
of Ai:
H3091
but Joshua
H3885
lodged
H3915
that night
H8432
among
H5971
the people.
10
H3091
And Joshua
H7925
arose up early
H1242
in the morning,
H6485
and mustered
H5971
the people,
H5927
and went up,
H2205
he and the elders
H3478
of Israel,
H6440
before
H5971
the people
H5857
to Ai.
11
H5971
And all the people,
H4421
even the men of war
H5927
that were with him, went up,
H5066
and drew nigh,
H935
and came
H5892
before the city,
H2583
and encamped
H6828
on the north side
H5857
of Ai:
H1516
now there was a valley
H5857
between him and Ai.
12
H3947
And he took
H2568
about five
H505
thousand
H376
men,
H7760
and set
H693
them in ambush
H1008
between Beth-el
H5857
and Ai,
H3220
on the west side
H5857
of the city.
13
H7760
So they set
H5971
the people,
H4264
even all the host
H6828
that was on the north
H5892
of the city,
H6119
and their liers-in-wait
H3220
that were on the west
H5892
of the city;
H3091
and Joshua
H3212
went
H3915
that night
H8432
into the midst
H6010
of the valley.
14
H4428
And it came to pass, when the king
H5857
of Ai
H7200
saw
H4116
it, that they hasted
H7925
and rose up early,
H582
and the men
H5892
of the city
H3318
went out
H7125
against
H3478
Israel
H4421
to battle,
H5971
he and all his people,
H4150
at the time appointed,
H6440
before
H6160
the Arabah;
H3045
but he knew
H693
not that there was an ambush
H310
against him behind
H5892
the city.
15
H3091
And Joshua
H3478
and all Israel
H5060
made as if they were beaten
H6440
before
H5127
them, and fled
H1870
by the way
H4057
of the wilderness.
16
H5971
And all the people
H5857
that were in the city
H2199
were called
H7291
together to pursue
H310
after
H7291
them: and they pursued
H310
after
H3091
Joshua,
H5423
and were drawn away
H5892
from the city.
17
H376
And there was not a man
H7604
left
H5857
in Ai
H1008
or Beth-el,
H3318
that went not out
H310
after
H3478
Israel:
H5800
and they left
H5892
the city
H6605
open,
H7291
and pursued
H3478
after Israel.
18
H3068
And Jehovah
H559
said
H3091
unto Joshua,
H5186
Stretch out
H3591
the javelin
H3027
that is in thy hand
H5857
toward Ai;
H5414
for I will give
H3027
it into thy hand.
H3091
And Joshua
H5186
stretched out
H3591
the javelin
H3027
that was in his hand
H5892
toward the city.
19
H693
And the ambush
H6965
arose
H4120
quickly
H4725
out of their place,
H7323
and they ran
H5186
as soon as he had stretched out
H3027
his hand,
H935
and entered
H5892
into the city,
H3920
and took
H4116
it; and they hasted
H3341
and set
H5892
the city
H784
on fire.
20
H582
And when the men
H5857
of Ai
H6437
looked
H310
behind
H7200
them, they saw,
H6227
and, behold, the smoke
H5892
of the city
H5927
ascended up
H8064
to heaven,
H3027
and they had no power
H5127
to flee
H2008
this way or that way:
H5971
and the people
H5127
that fled
H4057
to the wilderness
H2015
turned back
H7291
upon the pursuers.
21
H3091
And when Joshua
H3478
and all Israel
H7200
saw
H693
that the ambush
H3920
had taken
H5892
the city,
H6227
and that the smoke
H5892
of the city
H5927
ascended,
H7725
then they turned again,
H5221
and slew
H582
the men
H5857
of Ai.
22
H428
And the others
H3318
came forth
H5892
out of the city
H7125
against
H8432
them; so they were in the midst
H3478
of Israel,
H5221
some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote
H5704
them, so that
H7604
they let
H8300
none of them remain
H6412
or escape.
23
H4428
And the king
H5857
of Ai
H8610
they took
H2416
alive,
H7126
and brought
H3091
him to Joshua.
24
H3478
And it came to pass, when Israel
H3615
had made an end
H2026
of slaying
H3427
all the inhabitants
H5857
of Ai
H7704
in the field,
H4057
in the wilderness
H7291
wherein they pursued
H5307
them, and they were all fallen
H6310
by the edge
H2719
of the sword,
H8552
until they were consumed,
H3478
that all Israel
H7725
returned
H5857
unto Ai,
H5221
and smote
H6310
it with the edge
H2719
of the sword.
25
H5307
And all that fell
H3117
that day,
H376
both of men
H802
and women,
H8147
were twelve
H505
thousand,
H376
even all the men
H5857
of Ai.
26
H3091
For Joshua
H7725
drew
H7725
not back
H3027
his hand,
H5186
wherewith he stretched out
H3591
the javelin,
H2763
until he had utterly destroyed
H3427
all the inhabitants
H5857
of Ai.
27
H929
Only the cattle
H7998
and the spoil
H5892
of that city
H3478
Israel
H962
took for prey
H1697
unto themselves, according unto the word
H3068
of Jehovah
H6680
which he commanded
H3091
Joshua.
28
H3091
So Joshua
H8313
burnt
H5857
Ai,
H7760
and made
H8510
it a heap
H5769
for ever,
H8077
even a desolation,
H3117
unto this day.
29
H4428
And the king
H5857
of Ai
H8518
he hanged
H6086
on a tree
H6256
until the eventide:
H935
and at the going down
H8121
of the sun
H3091
Joshua
H6680
commanded,
H3381
and they took
H5038
his body
H3381
down
H6086
from the tree,
H7993
and cast
H6607
it at the entrance
H8179
of the gate
H5892
of the city,
H6965
and raised
H1419
thereon a great
H1530
heap
H68
of stones,
H3117
unto this day.
30
H3091
Then Joshua
H1129
built
H4196
an altar
H3068
unto Jehovah,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H2022
in mount
H5858
Ebal,
31
H4872
as Moses
H5650
the servant
H3068
of Jehovah
H6680
commanded
H1121
the children
H3478
of Israel,
H3789
as it is written
H5612
in the book
H8451
of the law
H4872
of Moses,
H4196
an altar
H8003
of unhewn
H68
stones,
H5130
upon which no man had lifted up
H1270
any iron:
H5927
and they offered
H5930
thereon burnt-offerings
H3068
unto Jehovah,
H2076
and sacrificed
H5930
peace-offerings.
32
H3789
And he wrote
H68
there upon the stones
H4932
a copy
H8451
of the law
H4872
of Moses,
H3789
which he wrote,
H6440
in the presence
H1121
of the children
H3478
of Israel.
33
H3478
And all Israel,
H2205
and their elders
H7860
and officers,
H8199
and their judges,
H5975
stood
H727
on this side of the ark
H3548
and on that side before the priests
H3881
the Levites,
H5375
that bare
H727
the ark
H1285
of the covenant
H3068
of Jehovah,
H1616
as well the sojourner
H249
as the homeborn;
H2677
half
H413
of them in
H4136
front
H2022
of mount
H1630
Gerizim,
H2677
and half
H4136
of them in front
H2022
of mount
H5858
Ebal;
H4872
as Moses
H5650
the servant
H3068
of Jehovah
H6680
had commanded
H7223
at the first,
H1288
that they should bless
H5971
the people
H3478
of Israel.
