And when the children of Israel had ceased slaying all that were in Ai, and in the fields, and in the mountain on the descent, from where they pursued them, [even] to the end, then Joshua returned to Ai, and attacked it with the edge of the sword.

And Joshua burned the city with fire: he made it an uninhabited heap forever, [even] to this day.

And he hanged the king of Ai on the gallows, and he remained on the tree till evening. And when the sun went down, Joshua gave charge, and they took down his body from the tree, and cast it into a pit, and they set over him a heap of stones to this day.

And Joshua devoted it to destruction, and all things that were in the city, man and woman, young man and old, and calf and donkey, with the edge of the sword.

And when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai, and had destroyed it, as he did to Jericho and its king, even so they did to Ai and its king, and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had gone over to Joshua and Israel;

And they took Makkedah on that day, and killed the inhabitants with the edge of the sword, and they utterly destroyed every living thing that was in it. And there was none left in it that was preserved and had escaped; and they did to the king of Makkedah, as they did to the king of Jericho.

And the Lord said to me, Fear him not, for I have delivered him, and all his people, and all his land, into your hands; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites who dwelt in Heshbon.

Beside the spoils that were in the city, all things which the children of Israel took as spoil for themselves according to the command of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Joshua.

except the women and the stuff; and all the livestock, and whatsoever shall be in the city, and all the plunder you shall take as spoil for yourself, and shall eat all the plunder of your enemies whom the Lord your God gives you.

Even if he should gather silver as dust, and prepare gold as clay,

all these things shall the righteous gain, and the true-hearted shall possess His wealth.

Surely man walks in a shadow; nay, he is disquieted in vain; he lays up treasures, and knows not for whom he shall gather them.

A good man shall inherit children's children, and the wealth of ungodly men is laid up for the just.

A man worthy of credit shall be much blessed, but the wicked shall not be unpunished.

The partridge utters her voice; she gathers [eggs] which she did not lay. [So is a man] gaining his wealth unjustly: in the midst of his days [his riches] shall leave him, and at his latter end he will be a fool.

But God said to him, ['You] fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have prepared?'

So [is] he who accumulates treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

And you shall rise up out of the ambush, and go into the city.

And Joshua sent them, and they went to lie in ambush; and they lay between Bethel and Ai, west of Ai.

And the ambush [was] on the west side of the city.

And it came to pass when the king of Ai saw [it], he hastened and went out to meet them direct to the battle, he and all the people [that were] with him. And he knew not that there was an ambush [formed] against him behind the city.

And Joshua stretched out his hand [and] his spear toward the city, and the ambush rose up quickly out of their place. And they came forth when he stretched out his hand, and they entered into the city, and took it; and they hastened and burned the city with fire.

And the children of Israel set an ambush against Gibeah round about it.

And the children of Benjamin went out to meet the people, and were all drawn out of the city, and began to strike and kill the people as before in the roads, one of which goes up to Bethel, and one to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

And all the men rose up out of their places, and engaged in Baal Tamar. Then Israel's men in ambush advanced from their place from Maraagabe.

Now Jeroboam had caused an ambush to come round upon him from behind; and he [himself] was before Judah, and the ambush behind.

And when they began the praise and thanksgiving, the Lord caused the children of Ammon to fight against Moab, and [the inhabitants of] Mount Seir that came out against Judah; and they were defeated.

Lift up a standard on the walls of Babylon, prepare the quivers, rouse the guards, prepare the weapons; for the Lord has taken [the work] in hand, and will execute what He has spoken against the inhabitants of Babylon,
