Also, they apprehended the king of the city of Ai, alive, and they brought him before Joshua.
And so, after all were slain who had pursued Israel fleeing toward the wilderness, and after they fell by the sword in the same place, the sons of Israel returned and struck the city.
Now there were twelve thousand persons who had fallen on the same day, from man even to woman, the entire city of Ai.

Then the sons of Israel divided among themselves the cattle and the plunder of the city, just as the Lord had instructed Joshua.
And he set fire to the city, and he caused it to be a perpetual tomb.
Also, he suspended the king on a gallows, until evening and the setting of the sun. And Joshua instructed, and they took down his dead body from the hanging tree. And they cast it at the very entrance of the city, gathering a great pile of stones upon it, which remains even to the present day.
