Joshua 8:27
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Israel took for themselves only the cattle and plunder of that city, as the LORD had commanded Joshua.
In context
25 A total of twelve thousand men and women fell that day—all the people of Ai.
26 Joshua did not draw back the hand that held his battle lance until he had devoted to destruction all who lived in Ai.
27 Israel took for themselves only the cattle and plunder of that city, as the LORD had commanded Joshua.
28 So Joshua burned Ai and made it a permanent heap of ruins, a desolation to this day.
29 He hung the king of Ai on a tree until evening, and at sunset Joshua commanded that they take down the body from the tree and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate. And over it they raised a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day.
