Joshua 8:27 In-Context

25 And all who fell that day, both men and women, were twelve thousand, all the people of Ai.

26 For Joshua did not draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took as their booty, according to the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.

28 So Joshua burned Ai, and made it for ever a heap of ruins, as it is to this day.

29 And he hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised over it a great heap of stones, which stands there to this day.
