24 And it will be when Israel finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field in the desert, where they pursued them in it, and all of them will fall before the mouth of the sword till they were finished, and all Israel will turn back to Ai and will smite it by the mouth of the sword. 25 And it will be, all falling in that day from men, even to women, twelve thousand; all the men of Ai. 26 And Joshua turned not back his hand which he stretched out with the spear till he exterminated all the inhabitants of Ai. 27 Only the cattle and spoil of that city Israel plundered to 28 And Joshua will burn Ai and set it a heap forever, a waste even to this day. 29 And the king of Ai he hung upon the tree till the time of evening: and when the sun went down Joshua commanded and they will take down his carcass from the tree and cast it at the opening of the gate of the city, and they will set upon it a great heap of stones till this day.
