Joshua 8:19-23

¹⁹the ambushments, that were hid, rose up anon; and they went to the city, and took it, and burnt it.

²⁰Forsooth the men of the city, that pursued Joshua, beheld, and saw the smoke of the city ascend or go up till to heaven; and they might no more flee hither and thither; mostly since they that had feigned flight, and went to wilderness, withstood strongliest against the pursuers.

²¹And Joshua saw, and all Israel, that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city went up; and he turned again, and killed the men of Ai.

²²And also those men that had taken and burnt the city, went out of the city against their enemies, and they began to smite the middle men of their enemies; and when their adversaries were slain behind and before, so that no man of so great a multitude was saved,

²³they took also the king of Ai living, and they brought him to Joshua.
