WEB_Strongs(i)
  1 H3068 Yahweh H559 said H3091 to Joshua, H3372 "Don't be afraid, H2865 neither be dismayed. H3947 Take H5971 all the people H4421 of war H6965 with you, and arise, H5927 go up H5857 to Ai. H7200 Behold, H5414 I have given H3027 into your hand H4428 the king H5857 of Ai, H5971 with his people, H5892 his city, H776 and his land.
  2 H6213 You shall do H5857 to Ai H4428 and her king H6213 as you did H3405 to Jericho H4428 and her king, H7998 except its spoil H929 and its livestock, H962 you shall take for a plunder H7760 for yourselves. Set H693 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 Joshua H977 chose H7970 thirty H505 thousand H1368 men, the mighty H376 men H2428 of valor, H7971 and sent them out H3915 by night.
  4 H6680 He commanded H559 them, saying, H7200 "Behold, H693 you shall lie in ambush H5892 against the city, H310 behind H5892 the city. H7368 Don't go H3966 very H7368 far H5892 from the city, H3559 but all of you be ready.
  5 H5971 I, and all the people H7126 who are with me, will approach H5892 to the city. H3318 It shall happen, when they come out H7125 against H7223 us, as at the first, H5127 that we will flee H6440 before them.
  6 H3318 They will come out H310 after H5423 us, until we have drawn H5892 them away from the city; H559 for they will say, H5127 ‘They flee H6440 before H7223 us, like the first H5127 time.' So we will flee H6440 before them,
  7 H6965 and you shall rise up H693 from the ambush, H3423 and take possession H5892 of the city; H3068 for Yahweh H430 your God H5414 will deliver H3027 it into your hand.
  8 H8610 It shall be, when you have seized H5892 on the city, H3341 that you shall set H5892 the city H784 on fire. H6213 You shall do H1697 this according to the word H3068 of Yahweh. H7200 Behold, H6680 I have commanded you."
  9 H3091 Joshua H7971 sent them out; H3212 and they went H3993 to set up the ambush, H3427 and stayed H1008 between Bethel H5857 and Ai, H3220 on the west side H5857 of Ai; H3091 but Joshua H3885 stayed H8432 among H5971 the people H3915 that night.
  10 H3091 Joshua H7925 rose up early H1242 in the morning, H6485 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 All the people, H4421 even the men of war H5927 who were with him, went up, H5066 and drew near, 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 He took H2568 about five H505 thousand H376 men, H7760 and set H693 them in ambush H1008 between Bethel H5857 and Ai, H3220 on the west side H5857 of the city.
  13 H7760 So they set H5971 the people, H4264 even all the army H6828 who was on the north H5892 of the city, H6119 and their ambush H3220 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 It happened, when the king H5857 of Ai H7200 saw H4116 it, that they hurried 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 didn't know H693 that there was an ambush H310 against him behind H5892 the city.
  15 H3091 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 All the people H5857 who were in the city H2199 were called H7291 together to pursue H310 after H310 them. They H7291 pursued H3091 Joshua, H5423 and were drawn away H5892 from the city.
  17 H376 There was not a man H7604 left H5857 in Ai H1008 or Beth El H3318 who didn't go out H310 after H3478 Israel. H5800 They left H5892 the city H6605 open, H7291 and pursued H3478 Israel.
  18 H3068 Yahweh H559 said H3091 to Joshua, H5186 "Stretch out H3591 the javelin H3027 that is in your hand H5857 toward Ai, H5414 for I will give H3027 it into your hand." H3091 Joshua H5186 stretched out H3591 the javelin H3027 that was in his hand H5892 toward the city.
  19 H693 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. They hurried H3341 and set H5892 the city H784 on fire.
  20 H582 When the men H5857 of Ai H6437 looked H310 behind H6437 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 The people H5127 who fled H4057 to the wilderness H2015 turned back H7291 on the pursuers.
  21 H3091 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 killed H582 the men H5857 of Ai.
  22 H428 The others H3318 came out H5892 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. They struck H5704 them, so that H7604 they let H8300 none of them remain H6412 or escape.
  23 H8610 They captured H4428 the king H5857 of Ai H2416 alive, H7126 and brought H3091 him to Joshua.
  24 H3478 It happened, when Israel H3615 had made an end H2026 of killing H3427 all the inhabitants H5857 of Ai H7704 in the field, H4057 in the wilderness H7291 in which they pursued H5307 them, and they had all fallen H6310 by the edge H2719 of the sword, H8552 until they were consumed, H3478 that all Israel H7725 returned H5857 to Ai, H5221 and struck H6310 it with the edge H2719 of the sword.
  25 H5307 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 didn't draw H7725 back H3027 his hand, H5186 with which he stretched out H3591 the javelin, H2763 until he had utterly destroyed H3427 all the inhabitants H5857 of Ai.
  27 H929 Only the livestock H7998 and the spoil H5892 of that city H3478 Israel H962 took for prey H1697 to themselves, according to the word H3068 of Yahweh H6680 which he commanded H3091 Joshua.
  28 H3091 So Joshua H8313 burnt H5857 Ai, H7760 and made H8510 it a heap H5769 forever, H8077 even a desolation, H3117 to this day.
  29 H8518 He hanged H4428 the king H5857 of Ai H6086 on a tree H6256 until the evening, H8121 and at the H935 sundown H3091 Joshua H6680 commanded, H3381 and they took H5038 his body H935 down H6086 from the tree, H7993 and threw H6607 it at the entrance H8179 of the gate H5892 of the city, H6965 and raised H1419 a great H1530 heap H68 of stones H3117 on it that remains to this day.
  30 H3091 Then Joshua H1129 built H4196 an altar H3068 to Yahweh, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H2022 in Mount H5858 Ebal,
  31 H4872 as Moses H5650 the servant H3068 of Yahweh 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 uncut H68 stones, H5130 on which no man had lifted up H1270 any iron. H5927 They offered H5930 burnt offerings H3068 on it to Yahweh, H2076 and sacrificed H5930 peace offerings.
  32 H3789 He wrote H68 there on 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 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 who carried H727 the ark H3068 of Yahweh's H1285 covenant, H1616 the foreigner H249 as well as the native; 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 Yahweh H6680 had commanded H7223 at the first, H1288 that they should bless H5971 the people H3478 of Israel.
  34 H310 Afterward H7121 he read H1697 all the words H8451 of the law, H1293 the blessing H7045 and the curse, H3789 according to all that is written H5612 in the book H8451 of the law.
  35 H1697 There was not a word H4872 of all that Moses H6680 commanded, H3091 which Joshua H7121 didn't read H6951 before all the assembly H3478 of Israel, H802 with the women, H2945 the little ones, H1616 and the foreigners H1980 who were H7130 among them.
