18 H3068 Yahweh H559 said H3091 to Joshua, H5186 "Stretch out H3591 the javelin H3027 that is in your hand H5857 toward Ai, H5414 for I will give H3027 it into your hand." H3091 Joshua H5186 stretched out H3591 the javelin H3027 that was in his hand H5892 toward the city.

19 H693 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 entered H5892 into the city, H3920 and took H4116 it. They hurried H3341 and set H5892 the city H784 on fire.

20 H582 When the men H5857 of Ai H6437 looked H310 behind H6437 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 The people H5127 who fled H4057 to the wilderness H2015 turned back H7291 on the pursuers.

21 H3091 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 The others H3318 came out H5892 of the city H7125 against H8432 them, so they were in the midst H3478 of Israel, H5221 some on this side, and some on that side. They struck H5704 them, so that H7604 they let H8300 none of them remain H6412 or escape.

23 H8610 They captured H4428 the king H5857 of Ai H2416 alive, H7126 and brought H3091 him to Joshua.

24 H3478 It happened, when Israel H3615 had made an end H2026 of killing H3427 all the inhabitants H5857 of Ai H7704 in the field, H4057 in the wilderness H7291 in which they pursued H5307 them, and they had all fallen H6310 by the edge H2719 of the sword, H8552 until they were consumed, H3478 that all Israel H7725 returned H5857 to Ai, H5221 and struck H6310 it with the edge H2719 of the sword.

25 H5307 All that fell H3117 that day, H376 both of men H802 and women, H8147 were twelve H505 thousand, H376 even all the men H5857 of Ai.

26 H3091 For Joshua H7725 didn't draw H7725 back H3027 his hand, H5186 with which he stretched out H3591 the javelin, H2763 until he had utterly destroyed H3427 all the inhabitants H5857 of Ai.

27 H929 Only the livestock H7998 and the spoil H5892 of that city H3478 Israel H962 took for prey H1697 to themselves, according to the word H3068 of Yahweh H6680 which he commanded H3091 Joshua.

28 H3091 So Joshua H8313 burnt H5857 Ai, H7760 and made H8510 it a heap H5769 forever, H8077 even a desolation, H3117 to this day.

29 H8518 He hanged H4428 the king H5857 of Ai H6086 on a tree H6256 until the evening, H8121 and at the H935 sundown H3091 Joshua H6680 commanded, H3381 and they took H5038 his body H935 down H6086 from the tree, H7993 and threw H6607 it at the entrance H8179 of the gate H5892 of the city, H6965 and raised H1419 a great H1530 heap H68 of stones H3117 on it that remains to this day.
