¹⁴ When Abram hearde that hys brother was taken, he harnessed hys freshe younge men borne in hys owne house thre hundred and eyghtene, and folowed on them vntyll Dan: ¹⁵ And he was sett in Aray vpon them by nyght, he and his seruauntes, and smote them and pursued them vnto Hoba: which lyeth on the lefte hande of Damascos, ¹⁶ and recouered all the goodes, and also brought agayne hys brother Lot, and his goodes, the women also and the people. ¹⁷ After that he returned agayne from the slaughter of kedorlaomor & of the kynges that were with him, came the kynge of Sodome forth to mete him in the playne valeye, which is kynges dale.

¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua: feare not, nether be thou faynt harted. Take all the men of warre wyth the and vp, and gett the to Hai, Beholde, I haue geuen into thy hande, the kyng of Hai, and his people, hys cytie and hys lande. ² And thou shalt do to Hai & her kyng, as thou dydest vnto Iericho and her kyng, Neuerthelesse the spoyle and catell therof, shall ye take vnto youre selues: And laye a watch vnto the towne, on the backsyde therof. ³ And so Iosua arose, and all the men of warre, to go vp agaynst Hai. And Iosua chose oute thyrtie thousande stronge men of warre, & sent them a waye by nyght. ⁴ And he commaunded them, sayinge: beholde, ye shall lye awayte vnto the towne on the backesyde therof. Go not very farre from the cytie, but be all readye. ⁵ And I and all the people that are with me, will approche vnto the cytie. And when they come out agaynst vs, as they did at the first tyme then will we flee before them. ⁶ For they will come oute after vs & we will bring them out of the cytie. For they will saye: they flee before vs, as at the first tyme: ⁷ & we will flee before them. In the meane tyme shall ye ryse vp from lying awayte, & destroye the cytie: For the Lorde youre God will deliuer it into youre hande. ⁸ And whan ye haue taken the cytie, ye shall set it on fire. Accordinge to the commaundement of the Lord shal ye do: beholde, I haue charged you. ⁹ Iosua therfore sent them forth, & they went to lye awayte, & abode betwene Bethel and Hai, on the west syde of the cite of Hai. But Iosua lodged that nyght amonge the people. ¹⁰ And Iosua rose vp erlye in the mornynge, and nombred the people, & went vp, he & the elders of Israel before the people agaynst Hai. ¹¹ And all the men of warre that were with him, went vp and drue nye, and came agaynst the cytie, and pitched on the north syde of Hai, & there was a valeye betwene them and Hai. ¹² And he toke vpon a fyue thousande men, and put them to lye awayte, betwene Bethel & Hai, on the westsyde of the cytie. ¹³ And they put the people (euen all the hoste that were on the northsyde) agaynst the cytie, and the lyers awayte on the west. And Iosua walked the same nyght in the myddes of the valeye. ¹⁴ And it fortuned, that when the kyng of Hai sawe it they hasted and rose vp earlye, and the men of the cytie went oute agaynst Israell to battell, he & all his people, at a tyme apoynted, euen before the playne, and wist not that there were lyers awayte on the backsyde of the cytie. ¹⁵ And Iosua & all Israel fayned them selues to be put to the worsse before them, & fled towarde the wildernesse. ¹⁶ And all the people of the towne were called together, to folowe after them. And they folowed after Iosua & were drawen a waye from the cytie: ¹⁷ And there was not a man left in Hai & in Bethel, that went not out after Israell. And they left the cytie open, & folowed after Israell. ¹⁸ And the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua: stretch out the spere that is in thine hand, towarde Hai, for I will geue it into thy hand. And Iosua stretched out the spere that he had in his hande, towarde the citie. ¹⁹ And the lyers awayte rose quicklye oute of their place, & ranne assone as Iosua had stretched oute his hande, and they entred into the citie and toke it, & hasted, & sett the cite on fire. ²⁰ And when the men of Hai loked backe after them, they sawe the smoke of the citie assende vp to heauen. And they had no leysure to flee ether thys waye or that, & the people that fledd to the wyldernesse, turned backe agayne vpon the folowers. ²¹ And when Iosua & all Israel sawe that the lyers awayte had taken the citie, & that the smoke of it ascended, they turned agayne and layed on the men of Hai. ²² And the other yssued oute of the citie agaynst them. And so were they in the middes of Israel: for these were on the one syde of them, & the reste on the other syde. And they layed vpon them, so that they lett none of them skape, nor remayne. ²³ And the kyng of Hai they toke alyue, & brought hym to Iosua. ²⁴ And when Israell had made an ende of slaying all the enhabiters of Hai in the felde of the wyldernesse, where they chased them, & when they were all fallen on the edge of the swerde, vntyll they were wasted, all the Israelites returned vnto Hai, & smote it in the edge of the swerde, ²⁵ And all that fell that daye, both of men & wemen, were twelue thousande, euen all the men of Hai. ²⁶ For Iosua plucked not hys hand backe agayne, which he stretched oute vpon the spere, vntyll he had vtterlye destroyed all the enhabitatoures of Hai. ²⁷ Only the catell and the spoyle of the citie, Israel toke vnto them selues, according vnto the worde of the Lorde, which he commaunded Iosua. ²⁸ And Iosua sett Hai on fyre, and made it an heape for euer, and a wyldernesse, euen vnto thys daye. ²⁹ And the kyng of Hai he hanged on tree, vntyll euen. And assone as the sonne was downe, Iosua commaunded that they shulde take the carkas doune of the tree, and caste it at the entering of the gate of the citie, and laye theron a great heape of stones, that remayneth vnto this daye.

But yf the chyldren of Ammon be to strong for the, I will come and succoure the. ¹² Therfore quyte the lyke a man, & let vs stonde stiff for oure people, & for the cities of oure God. And the Lord do that which is good in his owne eyes. ¹³ And Ioab proceded forth, & the people that was with hym, to fight with the Sirians. But they fled before him. ¹⁴ And when the children of Ammon saw that the Sirians were fled, then fled they also before Abisay, and entred into the citye. And so Ioab returned from the children of Ammon, & came to Ierusalem. ¹⁵ And when the Sirians saw that they were put to the worsse before Israel, they geathered them togeather. ¹⁶ And Hadarezer sent, & brought out the Sirians that were beyounde the ryuer. And they came with their armye and Hobah the captayne of the host of Hadarezer went before them. ¹⁷ And when it was shewed Dauid, he geathered all Israel togeather, and passed ouer Iordan, & cam to Helam: And the Sirians set them selues in araye agaynst Dauid, & fought with him: ¹⁸ and the Sirians fled before Israel. And Dauid destroyed seuen hundred charettes of the Sirians, and fourtye thousand horsemen, and smote Sobah the captayne of their host, which also dyed there. ¹⁹ And when all the kinges (that were seruauntes to Hadarezer) saw that they were put to the worse before Israell, they made peace with them, & serued them. And so the Sirians feared to helpe the children of Ammon any moare.

Geue credence to hys prophetes, & so shall ye prospere. ²¹ And he gaue the people councell, and set some to syng vnto the Lord, & to prayse him in the bewtye of holynes, & to go out before the army, as they went, and to saye: prayse the Lorde for hys mercy lasteth euer. ²² And what tyme as they beganne to laude & prayse, then the Lorde stered vp certayne of the chyldren of Ammon and Moab, which layed wayte for them that were of mount Seir: which were come agaynst Iuda.
