Joshua 8

CKJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H3068 And the Lord H559 said H3091 unto Joshua, H3372 Fear H2865 not, neither be you dismayed: H3947 take H5971 all the people H4421 of war H6965 with you, and arise, H5927 go up H5857 to Ai: H7200 see, H5414 I have given H3027 into your hand H4428 the king H5857 of Ai, H5971 and his people, H5892 and his city, H776 and his land:
  2 H6213 And you shall do H5857 to Ai H4428 and her king H6213 as you did H3405 unto Jericho H4428 and her king: H7998 only the plunder H929 there, and the cattle H962 there, shall you take for a prey H7760 unto yourselves: lay H693 you an ambush H5892 for the city H310 behind it.
  3 H3091 So Joshua H6965 arose, H5971 and all the people H4421 of war, H5927 to go up H5857 against Ai: H3091 and Joshua H977 chose out H7970 thirty H505 thousand H1368 mighty H376 men H2428 of valor, H7971 and sent them away H3915 by night.
  4 H6680 And he commanded H559 them, saying, H7200 Behold, H693 you shall lie in wait H5892 against the city, H310 even behind H5892 the city: H7368 go H3966 not very H7368 far H5892 from the city, H3559 but be you all ready:
  5 H5971 And I, and all the people H7126 that are with me, will approach H5892 unto the city: H3318 and it shall come to pass, when they come out H7125 against H7223 us, as at the first, H5127 that we will flee H6440 before them,
  6 H3318 (For they will come out H310 after H5423 us) until we have drawn H5892 them from the city; H559 for they will say, H5127 They flee H6440 before H7223 us, as at the first: H5127 therefore we will flee H6440 before them.
  7 H6965 Then you shall rise up H693 from the ambush, H3423 and seize H5892 upon the city: H3068 for the Lord H430 your God H5414 will deliver H3027 it into your hand.
  8 H8610 And it shall be, when you have taken H5892 the city, H3341 that you shall set H5892 the city H784 on fire: H1697 according to the commandment H3068 of the Lord H6213 shall you do. H7200 See, H6680 I have commanded you.
  9 H3091 Joshua H7971 therefore sent them forth: H3212 and they went H3993 to lie in ambush, H3427 and lived H1008 between Beth–el H5857 and Ai, H3220 on the west side H5857 of Ai: H3091 but Joshua H3885 lodged H3915 that night H8432 among H5971 the people.
  10 H3091 And Joshua H7925 rose up early H1242 in the morning, H6485 and numbered H5971 the people, H5927 and went up, H2205 he and the elders H3478 of Israel, H6440 before H5971 the people H5857 to Ai.
  11 H5971 And all the people, H4421 even the people of war H5927 that were with him, went up, H5066 and drew near, H935 and came H5892 before the city, H2583 and pitched H6828 on the north side H5857 of Ai: H1516 now there was a valley H5857 between them and Ai.
  12 H3947 And he took H2568 about five H505 thousand H376 men, H7760 and set H693 them to lie in ambush H1008 between Beth–el H5857 and Ai, H3220 on the west side H5857 of the city.
  13 H7760 And when they had set H5971 the people, H4264 even all the host H6828 that was on the north H5892 of the city, H6119 and their liers in wait H3220 on the west H5892 of the city, H3091 Joshua H3212 went H3915 that night H8432 into the middle H6010 of the valley.
  14 H4428 And it came to pass, when the king H5857 of Ai H7200 saw H4116 it, that they hurried H7925 and rose up early, H582 and the men H5892 of the city H3318 went out H7125 against H3478 Israel H4421 to battle, H5971 he and all his people, H4150 at a time appointed, H6440 before H6160 the plain; H3045 but he knew H693 not that there were liers in ambush H310 against him behind H5892 the city.
  15 H3091 And Joshua H3478 and all Israel H5060 made as if they were beaten H6440 before H5127 them, and fled H1870 by the way H4057 of the wilderness.
  16 H5971 And all the people H5857 that were in Ai H2199 were called H7291 together to pursue H310 after H7291 them: and they pursued H310 after H3091 Joshua, H5423 and were drawn away H5892 from the city.
  17 H376 And there was not a man H7604 left H5857 in Ai H1008 or Beth–el, H3318 that went not out H310 after H3478 Israel: H5800 and they left H5892 the city H6605 open, H7291 and pursued H3478 after Israel.
  18 H3068 And the Lord H559 said H3091 unto Joshua, H5186 Stretch out H3591 the spear H3027 that is in your hand H5857 toward Ai; H5414 for I will give H3027 it into your hand. H3091 And Joshua H5186 stretched out H3591 the spear H3027 that he had in his hand H5892 toward the city.
  19 H693 And the ambush H6965 arose H4120 quickly H4725 out of their place, H7323 and they ran H5186 as soon as he had stretched out H3027 his hand: H935 and they entered H5892 into the city, H3920 and took H4116 it, and hurried H3341 and set H5892 the city H784 on fire.
  20 H582 And when the men H5857 of Ai H6437 looked H310 behind H7200 them, they saw, H6227 and, behold, the smoke H5892 of the city H5927 ascended up H8064 to heaven, H3027 and they had no power H5127 to flee H2008 this way or that way: H5971 and the people H5127 that fled H4057 to the wilderness H2015 turned back H7291 upon the pursuers.
  21 H3091 And when Joshua H3478 and all Israel H7200 saw H693 that the ambush H3920 had taken H5892 the city, H6227 and that the smoke H5892 of the city H5927 ascended, H7725 then they turned again, H5221 and killed H582 the men H5857 of Ai.
  22 H428 And the other H3318 issued out H5892 of the city H7125 against H8432 them; so they were in the middle H3478 of Israel, H5221 some on this side, and some on that side: and they struck H5704 them, so that H7604 they let H8300 none of them remain H6412 or escape.
  23 H4428 And the king H5857 of Ai H8610 they took H2416 alive, H7126 and brought H3091 him to Joshua.
  24 H3478 And it came to pass, when Israel H3615 had made an end H2026 of slaying H3427 all the inhabitants H5857 of Ai H7704 in the field, H4057 in the wilderness H7291 where they chased H5307 them, and when they were all fallen H6310 on the edge H2719 of the sword, H8552 until they were consumed, H3478 that all the Israelites H7725 returned H5857 unto Ai, H5221 and struck H6310 it with the edge H2719 of the sword.
  25 H5307 And so it was, that all that fell H3117 that day, H376 both of men H802 and women, H8147 were twelve H505 thousand, H582 even all the men H5857 of Ai.
  26 H3091 For Joshua H7725 drew H3027 not his hand H7725 back, H5186 with which he stretched out H3591 the spear, H2763 until he had utterly destroyed H3427 all the inhabitants H5857 of Ai.
  27 H929 Only the cattle H7998 and the plunder H5892 of that city H3478 Israel H962 took for a prey H1697 unto themselves, according unto the word H3068 of the Lord H6680 which he commanded H3091 Joshua.
  28 H3091 And Joshua H8313 burnt H5857 Ai, H7760 and made H8510 it an heap H5769 for ever, H8077 even a desolation H3117 unto this day.
  29 H4428 And the king H5857 of Ai H8518 he hanged H6086 on a tree H6256 until evening: H8121 and as soon as the sun H935 was down, H3091 Joshua H6680 commanded H3381 that they should take H5038 his carcass H3381 down H6086 from the tree, H7993 and cast H6607 it at the entering H8179 of the gate H5892 of the city, H6965 and raise H1419 on it a great H1530 heap H68 of stones, H3117 that remains unto this day.
  30 H3091 Then Joshua H1129 built H4196 an altar H3068 unto the Lord H430 God H3478 of Israel H2022 in mountain H5858 Ebal,
  31 H4872 As Moses H5650 the servant H3068 of the Lord H6680 commanded H1121 the sons H3478 of Israel, H3789 as it is written H5612 in the book H8451 of the law H4872 of Moses, H4196 an altar H8003 of whole H68 stones, H5130 over which no man has lift up H1270 any iron: H5927 and they offered H5930 on it burnt offerings H3068 unto the Lord, H2076 and sacrificed H8002 peace offerings.
  32 H3789 And he wrote H68 there upon the stones H4932 a copy H8451 of the law H4872 of Moses, H3789 which he wrote H6440 in the presence H1121 of the sons H3478 of Israel.
  33 H3478 And all Israel, H2205 and their elders, H7860 and officers, H8199 and their judges, H5975 stood H727 on this side the ark H3548 and on that side before the priests H3881 the Levites, H5375 which bore H727 the ark H1285 of the covenant H3068 of the Lord, H1616 as well the stranger, H249 as he that was born H2677 among them; half H413 of them over H4136 against H2022 mountain H1630 Gerizim, H2677 and half H4136 of them over against H2022 mountain H5858 Ebal; H4872 as Moses H5650 the servant H3068 of the Lord H6680 had commanded H7223 before, H1288 that they should bless H5971 the people H3478 of Israel.
  34 H310 And afterward H7121 he read H1697 all the words H8451 of the law, H1293 the blessings H7045 and cursings, H3789 according to all that is written H5612 in the book H8451 of the law.
  35 H1697 There was not a word H4872 of all that Moses H6680 commanded, H3091 which Joshua H7121 read H6951 not before all the congregation H3478 of Israel, H802 with the women, H2945 and the little ones, H1616 and the strangers H1980 that were living H7130 among them.
