very far from the city, but be ye all ready :
» And &, and all the people that are with me, will-approach unto the city : and it -shall_come_to_pass, when they Fcome_out against us, «cas at the first, that we -will_flee before them,
6 (For they -will_come_out after us) till we have_drawn them from the city ; for they will_say, ‘They +flee before us, acas at the first:’ therefore we -will_ flee before them.
7 Then pe shall_rise_up from the am- bush, and -seize upon «the city: for ‘the Lorp your =God -will_deliver it in- to your hand.
8 And it sshall_be, when ye have_ taken the city, that ye shall_set -the city on fire: according_to the_com- mandment_of /the Lorp shall_ye_do. “See, I -have_commanded pou.”
* Joshua therefore sent_them_forth : and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Beth-él and xAi, on the_ west_side_of xAi: but Joshua lodged xthat xnight among the people.
10 And Joshua rose_up-_early in the morning, and *» numbered «the people, and went_up, he and the _elders_of Is- raél, before the people to xAi.
11 And all the people, even the people of xwar that weve with him, went_up, and drew_nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the_north_side_of xAl: now there was a xvalley between them and xAi.
2 And he took about five thousand ‘men, and set them to_lie_in_-ambush between Beth-él and xAi, on the_west_ side of the city.
13 And when_they_had_set the people, even call the host that was on the_ north of the city, and «their liers_in_ wait on the_west of the city, Joshua went xthat xnight into the_midst_of the valley.
14 And it came_to_pass, when the_ king_of xAi saw it, that they hasted and rose_up_early, and the_«men_of the city went_out against Israel to xbattle, he and all his people, at a xtime appointed, before the plain: but he kwist not that there were liers_in_am- bush against him behind the city.
44 And Joshua and all Israél made_ as_if_they_were_beaten before them, and fled by_the_way_of the wilderness.
16 And all the people that were in xAi were_called_together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were_drawn_away from the city.
7 And there was not a ‘man left in xAi or Beth-él, that went_not_out after Israél: and they left «the city open, and pursued after Israél.
18 And ‘the Lorp said unto Joshua, “-Stretch_out the spear that is in thy hand toward xAi; for I will_give itinto thine hand.” And Joshua stretched_ out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.
19 And the ambush arose quickly out_ of their place, and they ran as_soon_as he had_stretched_out his hand: and they entered_into the-city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
20 And when the_« men_of xAi looked
JosHuA VIII. 33. behind them, they saw, and, behold,| B.C.1
the_smoke_of the city ascended_up to x-heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people x+that fled_to the wilderness turned_back upon the pursuers,
“1 And when Joshua and all Israél saw that the ambush had_taken -the city, and that the_smoke-_of the city ascended, then they turned_again, and slew -the_« men_of xAi.
= And the_=other issued out_of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israél, some on this_side, and some on that_side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them re- main or escape.
23 And sthe_king_of xAi they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
*4 And it came_to_pass, when Israél had_made_an_end_of slaying -all the_ inhabitants_of xAi in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the_ edge_of the sword, until they were_con- sumed, that all the Israélites returned unto xAi, and smote it with the_edge_of the sword.
2 And so it was, that all that fell xthat xday, both of *men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the_ @men_of xAi.
26 For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched_out the spear, until he had_utterly_destroyed -all the_inhabitants_of xAi. :
27 Only the cattle and the_spoil_of xthat xcity Israél took_for_a_prey unto themselves, according_unto the_word_ of ‘the Lorp which He commanded -Joshua.
°3 And Joshua burnt *Ai, and made it a heap for ever, even a desolation unto xthis day.
29 And -the_king_of xAi he hanged on a@ xtree until xeventide: and cas_ soon_as the sun was_down, Joshua commanded that they should_take his -carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the_entering_of the_gate_of the city, and raise thereon a great heap_of stones, that remaineth unto xthis xday.
20 Then Joshua built an altar unto Jthe Lorp =God_of Israél in mount e Ebal,
31 As Moses the_servant_of ! the Lorp commanded -the_schildren_of Israél, acas it is written in the_-book_of the_ law_of Moses, an altar_of whole stones,
over which no_man shath_lift up any} 25
iron : and they offered thereon « burnt_ offerings unto / the Lorp, and sacrificed peace_offerings.
32 And he wrote there upon the stones ad-copy_of the_law_of Moses, which he wrote in the_presence_of the_s children_ of Israél.
18. 33 And all Israél, and their elders,
and officers, and their judges, stood on this_side the ark and on that_side be- fore the priests the Levites, +which_bare
the_ark_of the_coyenant_of ‘the Lorp,| 73 2
as_well the stranger, as he_that was_}g
born_among_them ; half_of them over
against mount g Gerizim, and xhalf_of 5
them over against mount e Ebal; ac as Moses the_servant_of Jthe Lorp had_
178
commanded «¢ xbefore, that_they_should bless «the people_of Israél.
3 And afterward he read call the_ words_of the law, the blessings and xcursi according_to all «that is_
‘7. | written in the_book_of the law.
35 There was not a word of all that .|Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the_«: congregation_of Israél, with the women, and the little_ ones, and the strangers x+that ~were_ conyersant among them.
AND it came_to_pass, when all the kings which were on this_side xJordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the_coasts_of the great xsea over against xLebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Periz- zite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof ;
2 That they gathered_themselves to- gether, to fight with Joshua and with Tsraél, with one ™ accord.

Jericho and to «Ai,
+Thep did_work wilily, and went and made_as_if_they_had_been_ambassa- dors, and took old sacks upon their _ jasses, and wwine s* bottles, old, and
- rent, and bound_up;
5 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the_bread_of their provision was dry and mouldy.
6 And they went to Joshua unto the
camp at 9 xGilgal, and said unto him, and to the_‘ men_of Israél, “We *be_ come from a far country: now therefore emake ye a cleague with us.” -| 7 And the_‘men_of Israél said unto ;|the Hivites, “Peradventure pe +dwell .| among us ; and how shall_we_c make a eleague with you?”
8 And they said unto Joshua, “@@#e are thy servants.” And Joshua said unto them, “Who are pe? and from whence come ye?”
8 And they said unto him, “From a very far country thy servants -are_come because of the_name_of/ the Lorp thy =God : for we -have_heard the_fame_of Him, and all that He did in Egypt,
-| 10 And -all that He did to the_two
kings_of the Amorites, that were beyond xJordan, to Sihon king_of Heshbon, and to Og king_of xBashan, which was at Ashtaroth.
11 Wherefore our elders and all the_ inhabitants_of our country spake to us, saying, ‘Take pyictuals ‘with you for the journey, and -go to meet them, and ‘say unto them, Ge are your ser- yants: therefore now c-make ye a eleague with us.’
2 This our bread we took hot for our
provision out_of our houses on the day we came_forth to go unto you : but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy : -| 18 And these st bottles_of xwine, .| which we filled, were new ; and, behold, they be_rent: and these our garments and our shoes are_become old by_reason_ of the very long journey.”
14 And the «men took of their P vic-
tuals, and asked not counsel at -the_ mouth_of / the Lorp.
1s And Joshua made peace with them, and «made a league with them, to let_ them_live: and the_princes_of the con- gregation sware unto them.
16 And it came_to_pass at the_end_of three days after they had_emade a «league with them, that they heard that thep were their neighbours, and that thep zdwelt among them.
7 And the_s children_of Israél jour- neyed, and came unto their cities on the third xday. Now their cities were Gibeon, and xChephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim.
18 And the_s children_of Israél smote them not, because the_princes_of the congregation had_sworn unto them by 1 the Lorp =God_of Israél. And all the
congregation murmured against the owl
princes.
19 But all the princes said unto all the congregation, “@{e -have_sworn unto them by ‘the Lorp =God_of Israél: now therefore we ‘may nottouch em.
even let thent live, lest wrath ‘be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.”
21 And the princes said unto them, “tLet_them_live; but ‘let_them_be hewers_of wood and drawers_of water unto all the congregation; seas the princes had_promised them.”
22 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, “ Wherefore shave_ye_beguiled us, saying, ‘@#e are very farfromyou; when pe -dwell among us?
33 Now therefore pe are cursed, and there shall none of you be_freed from being bondmen, and hewers_of wood and drawers_of water for the_house_of my
24 And they answered -Joshua, and said, “ Because it was_certainly told thy servants, -how_that / the Lorp thy =God commanded His servant -Moses to give you «all the land, and to destroy -all the_inhabitants_of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our soliyes because of you, and haye_ done xthis *thing.
> And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, -do.”
26 And so did he unto them, and de- livered them out_of the_hand_of the_ s children_of Israél, that they slew them not.
2 And Joshua made them xthat xday hewers_of wood and drawers_of water for the congregation, and for the_altar_ of Jthe Lorb, even_unto xthis «day, in the place which He should_choose. 10 NOW it came_to_pass, when
ad Adoni-zedec King_of Jerusa- lem had_heard how Joshua had_taken Ai, and had_utterly_destroyed it ; aeas he had_done to Jericho and her king, so he had_done to xAi and her king; and how the_inhabitants_of Gibeon
had_made_peace with Israél, and were|,
among them ;

2That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one_of the croyal cities, and because it was greater than ~xAi, and all the_«men thereof were mighty.
8 Wherefore Adoni-zedec king _ of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king_of Hebron, and unto Piram king_of Jar- muth, and unto Japhia king_of Lachish, and unto Debir king_of Eglon, saying,
4“-.Come_up unto me, and shelp me, that we *may_smite -Gibeon: for it ‘hath_made_peace with Joshua and with the_s children_of Israél.”
5 Therefore the_five kings_of the Am- orites, the_king_of Jerusalem, the_king_ of Hebron, the_king_of Jarmuth, the_ king_of Lachish, the_king_of Eglon, gathered _ themselves _ together, and went_up, thep and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made_ war against it.
6 And the_« men_of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to xGilgal, saying, “tSlack not thy hand from thy servants ; *come_up to us quickly, and ssave us, and -help us; for all the_kings_of the Amorites +that_dwell in the /moun- tains «are _ gathered _together against us.” 7So Joshua ascended from xGilgal, he, and all the_people_of xwar with him, and all the_mighty_men_of xvalour.
8 And ‘the Lorp said unto Joshua, “tFear them not: for I -have_delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a *man of them stand before thee.”
® Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went_up from xGilgal all xnight.
10 And ‘the Lorp discomfited them before Israél, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along_the_way that_goeth_up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
11 And it came_to_pass, as thep fled from before Israél, and were in the_ going_down_to Beth-horon, that J the Lorp ‘cast_down great stones from tx-heayen upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with xhailstones than they whom the_ schildren_of Israél slew with the sword.
12 Then spake Joshua to ‘the Lorp in the_day_when ‘the Lorp delivered_up ‘the Amorites before the_s children_of at ie and he said in the_sight_of Is- raé
“Sun, westand_thou_still upon Gi-
eon ; And thou, Moon, in the_valley_of Ajalon.”
18 And the sun wastood_still, and the moon stayed, until the » people had_ avenged_themselves_upon their ene- mies. Js not this written in the_book_ of jxJasher? So the sun va stood_still in the_midst_of ‘x=heaven, and hasted not to go_down about a whole day.
14 And there was no xday like xthat before it or after it, that ’the Lorp hearkened unto the_voice_of a ‘man: for ' the Lorp fought for Israél.
146 And Joshua returned, and all Is- mae with him, unto the camp to xGil- gal.
16 But these five xkings fled, and hid_| B.C. 1451 themselves in a xcave at Makkedah. THE Five
17 And it was_told Joshua, Ng, | KINGSHIDI “The five kings sare_found hid a xcave at Makkedah.”
18 And Joshua said, “-Roll great stones upon the_mouth_of the cave, and set “men by it for_to keep them : @. anah- 19 And tstay pe not, but spursue after| Shim. your enemies, and ¢-smite_the_hind-|. cut-off. most_of them; ‘suffer them not to enter} *hetailo into their cities: for /the LorD your} 4J.c. Jeho- =God shath_delivered them into your ae your hand.” lohim.
20 And it came_to_pass, when Joshua and the-_s children_of Israél had_made_ an_end_of slaying them with a very], great slaughter, till they were_con- sumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into xfenced cities.
21 And all the -people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his -tongue against any_of the_s children_of Israél.
2 Then said Joshua, “*Open -the_ mouth_of the cave, and «bring_out xthose ¥five xkings unto me out_of the cave.”
23 And they did so, and brought_forth xthose *five xkings unto him out_of eg cave, «the_king_of Jerusalem, -the_ king_of Hebron, -the_king_of Jarmuth, -the_king_of Lachish, and -the_king_of Eglon.
24 And it came_to_pass, when they brought_out xthose *kings unto Joshua,| 7? that Joshua called for all the_‘ men_of Israél, and said unto the_captains_of the_« men_of xwar which went with him, “.Come_near, *put your «feet upon the_} shim necks_of xthese xkings.” And they} isn. came_near, and put their «feet upon the_necks_of them.
25 And Joshua said unto them, “'Fear not, nor 'be_dismayed, -be_strong and -of_good_courage: for thus shall /the Lorp do to all your enemies against thon pe +fight.”
26 And afterward Joshua smote
them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
27 And it came_to_pass at the_time_of the_going_down_of thesun, that Joshua commanded, and they took_them_down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had_been_hid, and laid great stones in the cave’s mouth, which remain until xthis very xday.
28 And xthat xday Joshua took -Mak- kedah, and smote it with the_edge_of the sword, and «the_king thereof he utterly_destroyed, them, and rall the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the_king_of ' Makkedah «¢ as he did unto the_king_of| ae. accord: Jericho. ba eo
2 Then Joshua passed from Mak- kedah, and all Israél with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah :
30 And Jthe Lorp delivered it also, and -the_king thereof, into the_hand_ of Israél; and he smote it with the_ edge_of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the_king thereof acas he did unto the_king_of Jericho,
Josuua X. 31.
B.C. 1451. LAcHISH.
31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israél with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
32 And J the Lorp delivered -Lachish into the_hand_of Israél, which took it on the second xday, and smote it with the_edge_of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according-to all that he had_done to Libnah.
33 Then Horam king_of Gezer came_ up to help -Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his -people, until he had_left him none remaining.
84*And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israél with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
35 And they took it on xthat xday, and smote it with the_edge_of the sword, and -all the souls that were therein he utterly_destroyed xthat xday, according_to all that he had_done to Lachish.
36 And Joshua went_up from Eglon, and all Israél with him, unto Hebron ; and they fought against it :
37 And they took it, and smote it with the_edge_of the sword, and king thereof, and -all the_cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein ; he left none remaining, according_to all that he had_done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and «all the souls that were therein.
38 And Joshua returned, and all Israél
is na .| with him, to Debir; and fought against
11
it:
39 And he took it, and -the_king thereof, and ~all the_cities thereof; and they smote them with the_edge_of the sword, and utterly_destroyed souls that were therein; he left none remaining: acas he had_done to He- bron, so he did to Debir, and to the_ king thereof; «cas he had_done also to Libnah, and to her king.
40 So Joshua smote call the /coun- try_of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and «all
*|their kings: he left none remaining,
but utterly_destroyed «all that breathed, acas 7 the Lorp =God_of Israél com- manded.
41 And Joshua smote them from Ka- desh-barnea even unto Gaza, and «all the_country_of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
#2 And ~all xthese xkings and their eland did Joshua take at_one time, because Jthe Lorp =God_of Israél fought for Israél.
43 And Joshua returned, and all Tsraél with him, unto the camp to xGilgal.
AND it came_to_pass, when Jabin king_of Hazor had_heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king_of
*|!Madon, and to the_king_of Shimron,
and to the_king_of Achshaph,
2 And to the kings that were on the north iof the mountains, and ‘of-the plains south_of Chinneroth, and in the yalley, and in the_borders_of Dor on the s west,
JosHua XI.17.
8 And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite ‘in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the_land_ of xMizpeh. .
4 And they went_out, thep and all their hosts with them, much people, even_as the sand that ts upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
5 And when all xthese xkings were_ m met_together, they came and pitched together at the_waters_of Merom, to fight against Israél.
6 And Jthe Lorp said unto Joshua, “tBe not afraid because_of them: for to_morrow about xthis xtime -will = deliver_them_up raél: thou shalt_? hough their “horses, and 'burn their -chariots with ~fire.”
7 So Joshua came, and all the_peo- ple_of xwar with him, against them by the_waters_of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
8 And J the Lorp delivered them into the_hand_of Israél, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the_ yalley_of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
2 And Joshua did unto them aeas Jthe Lorp bade him: he * houghed their ~horses, and burnt their ~chariots with xfire.
10 And Joshua at xthat xtime turned back, and took -Hazor, and smote the_ king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the_head_of all xthose xkingdems.
il And they smote that were therein with the_edge_of the sword, utterly_destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt -Hazor with ~fire.
2 And -all the_cities_of xthose xkings, and all the_kings_of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the_edge_of the sword, and he utterly_destroyed them, a¢as Moses the_servant-of / the Lorp commanded,
13 But as for the cities that stood still oin their strength, Israél burned none-_of them, save -Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.
14 And all the_spoil_of these xcities, and the cattle, the_s children_of Israél took_for_a_prey unto themselves; but revery «xman they smote with the_ edge_of the sword until they had_ destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe. .
15 ac As 4 the Lorp commanded *Moses His servant, so did Moses command «Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that J the Lorp commanded «Moses.
16 So Joshua took the ‘hills, and -all the south_country, and ~all the_land_of xGoshen, and =the lyalley, and «the plain, and -the_
