JO-7:3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not

all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go

up and smite Ai; [and] make not all the people to labour thither;

for they [are but] few. <ai> <all> <are> <few> <go> <him>

JO-7:4 So there went up thither of the people about three

thousand men:and they fled before the men of Ai. <ai> <before>

<went>

JO-7:5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men:

for they chased them [from] before the gate [even] unto Shebarim,

and smote them in the going down:wherefore the hearts of the

people melted, and became as water. <ai> <became> <before>

JO-7:6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon

his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and

the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads. <ark>

JO-7:7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at

all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand

of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content,

and dwelt on the other side Jordan! <alas> <all> <amorites>

JO-7:8 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs

before their enemies! <backs> <before> <enemies> <israel> <lord>

JO-7:9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land

shall hear [of it] , and shall environ us round, and cut off our

name from the earth:and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?

JO-7:10 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore

liest thou thus upon thy face? <face> <get> <joshua> <liest>

JO-7:11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my

covenant which I commanded them:for they have even taken of the

accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and

they have put [it] even among their own stuff. <also> <among>

JO-7:12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before

their enemies, [but] turned [their] backs before their enemies,

because they were accursed:neither will I be with you any more,

except ye destroy the accursed from among you. <among> <any>

JO-7:13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves

against tomorrow:for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [There

is] an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel:thou canst

not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed

thing from among you. <against> <among> <away> <before> <canst>

JO-7:14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according

to your tribes:and it shall be, [that] the tribe which the LORD

taketh shall come according to the families [thereof] ; and the

family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and

the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.

JO-7:15 And it shall be, [that] he that is taken with the

accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath:

because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and

because he hath wrought folly in Israel. <all> <because> <burnt>

JO-7:16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought

Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:

JO-7:17 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the

family of the Zarhites:and he brought the family of the Zarhites

man by man; and Zabdi was taken:<brought> <family> <judah> <man>

JO-7:18 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the

son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe

of Judah, was taken. <brought> <carmi> <household> <judah> <man>

JO-7:19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee,

glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him;

and tell me now what thou hast done; hide [it] not from me.

<what>

JO-7:20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have

sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I

done:<against> <answered> <done> <god> <have> <indeed> <israel>

JO-7:21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment,

and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty

shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold,

they [are] hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the

silver under it. <among> <are> <babylonish> <behold> <coveted>

JO-7:22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent;

and, behold, [it was] hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

JO-7:23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and

brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel,

and laid them out before the LORD. <all> <before> <brought>

JO-7:24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son

of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold,

and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses,

and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had:and they

brought them unto the valley of Achor. <all> <asses> <brought>

JO-7:25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD

shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with

stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them

with stones. <after> <all> <burned> <day> <fire> <had> <hast>

JO-7:26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto

this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger.

Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor,

unto this day. <anger> <called> <day> <fierceness> <great>

JO-8:1 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou

dismayed:take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up

to Ai:see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his

people, and his city, and his land:<ai> <all> <arise> <city>

JO-8:2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto

Jericho and her king:only the spoil thereof, and the cattle

thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves:lay thee an

ambush for the city behind it. <ai> <ambush> <behind> <cattle>

JO-8:3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up

against Ai:and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of

valour, and sent them away by night. <against> <ai> <all>

JO-8:4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in

wait against the city, [even] behind the city:go not very far

from the city, but be ye all ready:<against> <all> <behind>

JO-8:5 And I, and all the people that [are] with me, will

approach unto the city:and it shall come to pass, when they come

out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,

JO-8:6 ( For they will come out after us) till we have drawn

them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as

at the first:therefore we will flee before them. <after>

JO-8:7 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the

city:for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.

JO-8:8 And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, [that] ye

shall set the city on fire:according to the commandment of the

LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you. <city> <commanded>

<when>

JO-8:9 Joshua therefore sent them forth:and they went to lie in

ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai:

but Joshua lodged that night among the people. <ai> <ambush>

JO-8:10 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered

the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the

people to Ai. <ai> <before> <early> <elders> <israel> <joshua>

JO-8:11 And all the people, [even the people] of war that [were]

with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and

pitched on the north side of Ai:now [there was] a valley between

them and Ai. <ai> <all> <before> <between> <came> <city> <drew>

JO-8:12 And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie

in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

JO-8:13 And when they had set the people, [even] all the host

that [was] on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on

the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of

the valley. <all> <city> <even> <had> <host> <into> <joshua>

JO-8:14 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw [it] , that

they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out

against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time

appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that [there were]

liers in ambush against him behind the city. <against> <ai>

JO-8:15 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten

before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness. <all>

JO-8:16 And all the people that [were] in Ai were called

together to pursue after them:and they pursued after Joshua, and

were drawn away from the city. <after> <ai> <all> <away>

JO-8:17 And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went

not out after Israel:and they left the city open, and pursued

after Israel. <after> <ai> <bethel> <city> <israel> <left> <man>

JO-8:18 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear

that [is] in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine

hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that [he had] in his

hand toward the city. <ai> <city> <give> <had> <hand> <into>

JO-8:19 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. <ambush> <arose> <city> <entered> <fire> <had> <hand>

JO-8:20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and,

behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they

had no power to flee this way or that way:and the people that

fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers. <ai>

JO-8:21 And when Joshua and all Israel 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 Ai. <again> <ai> <all>

JO-8:22 And the other issued out of the city against them; so

they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on

that side:and they smote them, so that they let none of them

remain or escape. <against> <city> <escape> <israel> <issued>

JO-8:23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to

Joshua. <ai> <alive> <brought> <him> <joshua> <king> <took>

JO-8:24 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of

slaying all the inhabitants of Ai 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 consumed, that

all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge

of the sword. <ai> <all> <came> <chased> <consumed> <edge> <end>

JO-8:25 And [so] it was, [that] all that fell that day, both of

men and women, [were] twelve thousand, [even] all the men of Ai.

JO-8:26 For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he

stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the

inhabitants of Ai. <ai> <all> <back> <destroyed> <drew> <had>

JO-8:27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took

for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD

which he commanded Joshua. <cattle> <city> <commanded> <israel>

JO-8:28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever,

[even] a desolation unto this day. <ai> <burnt> <day>

JO-8:29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide:

and as 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 this day. <ai> <carcase> <cast>

<until>

JO-8:30 Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel

in mount Ebal, <altar> <built> <ebal> <god> <israel> <joshua>

JO-8:31 As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children

of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an

altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up [any] iron:

and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and

sacrificed peace offerings. <altar> <any> <book> <burnt>

JO-8:32 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of

Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.

JO-8:33 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and

their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before

the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of

the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them;

half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over

against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had

commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

JO-8:34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the

blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the

book of the law. <afterward> <all> <blessings> <book> <cursings>

JO-8:35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which

Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the

women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were

conversant among them. <all> <among> <before> <commanded>

JO-9:1 And it came to pass, when all the kings which [were] on

this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all

the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite,

and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and

the Jebusite, heard [thereof] ; <against> <all> <amorite> <came>

<which>

JO-9:2 That they gathered themselves together, to fight with

Joshua and with Israel, with one accord. <fight> <gathered>

JO-9:3 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had

done unto Jericho and to Ai, <ai> <done> <gibeon> <had> <heard>

JO-9:4 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had

been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine

bottles, old, and rent, and bound up; <ambassadors> <asses>

JO-9:5 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old

garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry

[and] mouldy. <all> <bread> <clouted> <dry> <feet> <garments>

JO-9:6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said

unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far

country:now therefore make ye a league with us. <camp> <come>

JO-9:7 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure

ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?

JO-9:8 And they said unto Joshua, We [are] thy servants. And

Joshua said unto them, Who [are] ye? and from whence come ye?

JO-9:9 And they said unto him, From a very far country thy

servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God:for we

have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt, <all>

JO-9:10 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites,

that [were] beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og

king of Bashan, which [was] at Ashtaroth. <all> <amorites>

JO-9:11 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our

country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the

journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We [are] your

servants:therefore now make ye a league with us. <all> <are>

JO-9:12 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:<behold> <bread> <came>

JO-9:13 And these bottles of wine, 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. <are>

JO-9:14 And the men took of their victuals, and asked not

[counsel] at the mouth of the LORD. <asked> <counsel> <lord>

JO-9:15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with

them, to let them live:and the princes of the congregation sware

unto them. <congregation> <joshua> <league> <let> <live> <made>

JO-9:16 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they

had made a league with them, that they heard that they [were]

their neighbours, and [that] they dwelt among them. <after>

JO-9:17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto

their cities on the third day. Now their cities [were] Gibeon,

and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim. <beeroth> <came>

JO-9:18 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the

princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God

of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.

JO-9:19 But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We

have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel:now therefore we

may not touch them. <all> <congregation> <god> <have> <israel>

JO-9:20 This we will do to them; we will even let them live,

lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto

them. <because> <do> <even> <lest> <let> <live> <oath> <sware>

JO-9:21 And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let

them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the

congregation; as the princes had promised them. <all>

JO-9:22 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them,

saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We [are] very far

from you; when ye dwell among us? <among> <are> <beguiled>

JO-9:23 Now therefore ye [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 God. <are> <being> <bondmen>

JO-9:24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was

certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD 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 lives because of you, and have done this

thing. <afraid> <all> <answered> <because> <before> <certainly>

JO-9:25 And now, behold, we [are] in thine hand:as it seemeth

good and right unto thee to do unto us, do. <are> <behold> <do>

JO-9:26 And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the

hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.

JO-9:27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers

of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD,

even unto this day, in the place which he should choose. <altar>

JO-10:1 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem

had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it;

as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and

her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with

Israel, and were among them; <ai> <among> <came> <destroyed>

JO-10:2 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon [was] a great

city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [was] greater

than Ai, and all the men thereof [were] mighty. <ai> <all>

JO-10:3 Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham

king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia

king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying, <debir>

JO-10:4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon:

for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of

Israel. <children> <come> <gibeon> <hath> <help> <israel>

JO-10:5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, 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, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon,

and made war against it. <against> <all> <amorites> <before>

JO-10:6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to

Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to

us quickly, and save us, and help us:for all the kings of the

Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together

against us. <against> <all> <amorites> <are> <camp> <come>

JO-10:7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people

of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour. <all>

JO-10:8 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not:for I have

delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them

stand before thee. <before> <delivered> <fear> <hand> <have>

JO-10:9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, [and] went up

from Gilgal all night. <all> <came> <gilgal> <joshua> <night>

JO-10:10 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew

them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the

way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and

unto Makkedah. <along> <azekah> <before> <bethhoron> <chased>

JO-10:11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel,

[and] were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast

down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they

died:[they were] more which died with hailstones than [they]

whom the children of Israel slew with the sword. <azekah>

<with>

JO-10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD

delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he

said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon;

and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. <ajalon> <amorites>

JO-10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the

people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. [Is] not this

written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the

midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

JO-10:14 And there was no day like that before it or after it,

that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man:for the LORD

fought for Israel. <after> <before> <day> <fought> <hearkened>

JO-10:15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the

camp to Gilgal. <all> <camp> <gilgal> <him> <israel> <joshua>

JO-10:16 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave

at Makkedah. <cave> <five> <fled> <hid> <kings> <makkedah>

JO-10:17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are

found hid in a cave at Makkedah. <are> <cave> <five> <found>

JO-10:18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of

the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:<cave> <great>

JO-10:19 And stay ye not, [but] pursue after your enemies, and

smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their

cities:for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.

<your>

JO-10:20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of

Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great

slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest [which]

remained of them entered into fenced cities. <came> <children>

JO-10:21 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at

Makkedah in peace:none moved his tongue against any of the

children of Israel. <against> <all> <any> <camp> <children>

JO-10:22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring

out those five kings unto me out of the cave. <bring> <cave>

JO-10:23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings

unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of

Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king

of Eglon. <brought> <cave> <did> <eglon> <five> <forth> <hebron>

JO-10:24 And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings

unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and

said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him,

Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they

came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. <all>

JO-10:25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed,

be strong and of good courage:for thus shall the LORD do to all

your enemies against whom ye fight. <against> <all> <courage>

JO-10:26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and

hanged them on five trees:and they were hanging upon the trees

until the evening. <afterward> <evening> <five> <hanged>

JO-10:27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of

the sun, [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

this very day. <been> <came> <cast> <cave> <commanded> <day>

JO-10:28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with

the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed,

them, and all the souls that [were] therein; he let none remain:

and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of

Jericho. <all> <day> <destroyed> <did> <edge> <jericho> <joshua>

JO-10:29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with

him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:<against> <all>

JO-10:30 And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof,

into the hand of Israel; 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 as he did unto the king of

Jericho. <all> <also> <delivered> <did> <edge> <hand> <into>

JO-10:31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him,

unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
