Chapter 8
And
the
Lord
said
vnto
Ioshua,
Feare
not,
neither
be
thou
dismaid:
take
all
the
people
of
warre
with
thee,
and
arise,
goe
vp
to
Ai:
See,
I
haue
giuen
into
thy
hand
the
king
of
Ai,
and
his
people,
and
his
citie,
and
his
land.
2
And
thou
shalt
doe
to
Ai
and
her
king,
as
thou
diddest
vnto
Iericho
and
her
king:
Onely
the
spoile
thereof
and
the
cattell
thereof
shall
ye
take
for
a
pray
vnto
your
selues:
lay
thee
an
ambush
for
the
citie,
behind
it.
3
So
Ioshua
arose,
and
all
the
people
of
warre,
to
goe
vp
against
Ai:
and
Ioshua
chose
out
thirtie
thousand
mighty
men
of
valour,
and
sent
them
away
by
night:
4
And
he
commanded
them,
saying,
Behold,
ye
shall
lie
in
wait
against
the
citie,
euen
behind
the
citie:
goe
not
very
farre
from
the
citie,
but
be
ye
all
ready:
5
And
I,
and
all
the
people
that
are
with
mee,
will
approch
vnto
the
citie:
and
it
shall
come
to
passe
when
they
come
out
against
vs,
as
at
the
first,
that
we
will
flee
before
them,
6
(For
they
will
come
out
after
vs)
till
we
haue
drawen
them
from
the
citie;
for
they
will
say,
They
flee
before
vs,
as
at
the
first:
therefore
we
will
flee
before
them.
7
Then
yee
shall
rise
vp
from
the
ambush,
and
seise
vpon
the
citie:
for
the
Lord
your
God
will
deliuer
it
into
your
hand.
8
And
it
shall
be
when
yee
haue
taken
the
citie,
that
ye
shall
set
the
citie
on
fire:
according
to
the
commandement
of
the
Lord
shall
ye
do.
See,
I
haue
commanded
you.
9
Ioshua
therefore
sent
them
foorth,
and
they
went
to
lie
in
ambush,
and
abode
betweene
Bethel
and
Ai,
on
the
West
side
of
Ai:
but
Ioshua
lodged
that
night
among
the
people.
10
And
Ioshua
rose
vp
early
in
the
morning,
and
numbred
the
people,
and
went
vp;
he,
and
the
Elders
of
Israel,
before
the
people
to
Ai.
11
And
all
the
people,
euen
the
people
of
warre
that
were
with
him,
went
vp,
and
drew
nigh,
and
came
before
the
city,
and
pitched
on
the
North
side
of
Ai:
now
there
was
a
valley
betweene
them
and
Ai.
12
And
he
tooke
about
fiue
thousand
men,
and
set
them
to
lye
in
ambush
betweene
Bethel
and
Ai,
on
the
West
side
of
the
citie.
13
And
when
they
had
set
the
people,
euen
all
the
hoste
that
was
on
the
North
of
the
city,
and
their
liers
in
wait
on
the
West
of
the
citie:
Ioshua
went
that
night
into
the
midst
of
the
valley.
14
And
it
came
to
passe
when
the
King
of
Ai
saw
it,
that
they
hasted,
and
rose
vp
early,
and
the
men
of
the
citie
went
out
against
Israel
to
battell,
hee,
and
all
his
people,
at
a
time
appointed,
before
the
plaine,
but
hee
wist
not
that
there
were
liers
in
ambush
against
him
behind
the
city.
15
And
Ioshua
and
all
Israel
made
as
if
they
were
beaten
before
them,
and
fled
by
the
way
of
the
wildernesse.
16
And
all
the
people
that
were
in
Ai,
were
called
together
to
pursue
after
them:
and
they
pursued
after
Ioshua,
and
were
drawen
away
from
the
city.
17
And
there
was
not
a
man
left
in
Ai
or
Bethel,
that
went
not
out
after
Israel:
and
they
left
the
citie
open,
and
pursued
after
Israel.
18
And
the
Lord
said
vnto
Ioshua,
Stretch
out
the
speare
that
is
in
thy
hand,
toward
Ai;
for
I
will
giue
it
into
thine
hand.
And
Ioshua
stretched
out
the
speare
that
hee
had
in
his
hand,
toward
the
city.
19
And
the
ambush
arose
quickly
out
of
their
place,
and
they
ranne
as
soone
as
he
had
stretched
out
his
hand:
and
they
entred
into
the
city,
and
tooke
it,
and
hasted,
and
set
the
citie
on
fire.
20
And
when
the
men
of
Ai
looked
behind
them,
they
saw,
and
behold,
the
smoke
of
the
city
ascended
vp
to
heauen,
and
they
had
no
power
to
flee
this
way
or
that
way:
and
the
people
that
fled
to
the
wildernesse,
turned
backe
vpon
the
pursuers.
21
And
when
Ioshua
and
all
Israel
saw
that
the
ambush
had
taken
the
city,
and
that
the
smoke
of
the
city
ascended,
then
they
turned
againe
and
slew
the
men
of
Ai.
22
And
the
other
issued
out
of
the
citie
against
them,
so
they
were
in
the
midst
of
Israel;
some
on
this
side,
and
some
on
that
side,
and
they
smote
them;
so
that
they
let
none
of
them
remaine
or
escape.
23
And
the
King
of
Ai
they
tooke
aliue,
and
brought
him
to
Ioshua.
24
And
it
came
to
passe
when
Israel
had
made
an
end
of
slaying
all
the
inhabitants
of
Ai,
in
the
field,
in
the
wildernesse
wherein
they
chased
them,
and
when
they
were
all
fallen
on
the
edge
of
the
sword,
vntill
they
were
consumed,
that
all
the
Israelites
returned
vnto
Ai,
and
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
25
And
so
it
was
that
all
that
fell
that
day,
both
of
men
and
women,
were
twelue
thousand,
euen
all
the
men
of
Ai.
26
For
Ioshua
drew
not
his
hand
backe
wherewith
hee
stretched
out
the
speare,
vntill
he
had
vtterly
destroyed
all
the
inhabitants
of
Ai.
27
Onely
the
cattell,
and
the
spoile
of
that
city
Israel
tooke
for
a
pray
vnto
themselues,
according
vnto
the
word
of
the
Lord,
which
he
commaunded
Ioshua.
28
And
Ioshua
burnt
Ai,
and
made
it
an
heape
for
euer,
euen
a
desolation
vnto
this
day.
29
And
the
king
of
Ai
he
hanged
on
a
tree
vntil
euentide:
and
assoone
as
the
sunne
was
downe,
Ioshua
commaunded
that
they
should
take
his
carkeise
downe
from
the
tree,
and
cast
it
at
the
entring
of
the
gate
of
the
citie,
and
raise
thereon
a
great
heape
of
stones
that
remaineth
vnto
this
day.
30
Then
Ioshua
built
an
Altar
vnto
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
in
mount
Ebal,
31
As
Moses
the
seruant
of
the
Lord
commaunded
the
children
of
Israel,
as
it
is
written
in
the
booke
of
the
Law
of
Moses,
an
Altar
of
whole
stones,
ouer
which
no
man
hath
lift
vp
any
yron:
and
they
offred
theron
burnt
offerings
vnto
the
Lord,
and
sacrificed
peace
offerings.
32
And
he
wrote
there
vpon
the
stones
a
copie
of
the
Lawe
of
Moses,
which
hee
wrote
in
the
presence
of
the
children
of
Israel.
33
And
all
Israel,
and
their
Elders,
and
Officers,
and
their
Iudges,
stood
on
this
side
the
Arke,
and
on
that
side,
before
the
Priests
the
Leuites,
which
bare
the
Arke
of
the
Couenant
of
the
Lord,
aswell
the
stranger,
as
he
that
was
borne
among
them:
halfe
of
them
ouer
against
mount
Gerizim,
and
halfe
of
them
ouer
against
mount
Ebal,
as
Moses
the
seruant
of
the
Lord
had
commanded
before,
that
they
should
blesse
the
people
of
Israel.
34
And
afterward
hee
read
all
the
words
of
the
Law,
the
blessings
and
cursings,
according
to
all
that
is
written
in
the
booke
of
the
Law.
35
There
was
not
a
word
of
all
that
Moses
commanded,
which
Ioshua
read
not
before
all
the
Congregation
of
Israel,
with
the
women
and
the
litle
ones,
and
the
strangers
that
were
conuersant
among
them.
