8:20. And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back,
and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to
flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited
flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly
against them that pursued.
8:21. So Josue, and all Israel, seeing that the city was taken, and that
the smoke of the city rose up, returned, and slew the men of Hai.
8:22. And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out
of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were
surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not
one of so great a multitude was saved.
8:23. And they took the king of the city of Hai alive and brought him to
Josue.
8:24. So all being slain that had pursued after Israel, in his flight to
the wilderness, and falling by the sword in the same place, the children
of Israel returned and laid waste the city.
8:25. And the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women,
was twelve thousand persons, all of the city of Hai.
8:26. But Josue drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on
high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain.
8:27. And the children of Israel divided among them, the cattle and the
prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.
8:28. And he burnt the city, and made it a heap forever:
8:29. And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet, until the evening and
the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his
carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city,
heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this
present day.
8:30. Then Josue built an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, in Mount
Hebal,
8:31. As Moses, the servant of the Lord, had commanded the children of
Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of
unhewn stones, which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it
holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings.
8:32. And he wrote upon stones, the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses,
which he had ordered before the children of Israel.
8:33. And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes, and judges,
stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark
of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born
among them, half of them by Mount Garizim, and half by Mount Hebal, as
Moses the servant of the Lord, had commanded. And first he blessed the
people of Israel.
8:34. After this, he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing,
and all things that were written in the book of the law.
8:35. He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but
he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and
children, and strangers, that dwelt among them.
Josue Chapter 9
Josue is deceived by the Gabaonites: who being detected are condemned to
be perpetual servants.
9:1. Now when these things were heard of, all the kings beyond the
Jordan, that dwelt in the mountains, and in the plains, in the places
near the sea, and on the coasts of the great sea, they also that dwell
by Libanus, the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, the Chanaanite, the
Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite,
9:2. Gathered themselves together, to fight against Josue and Israel
with one mind, and one resolution.
9:3. But they that dwelt in Gabaon, hearing all that Josue had done to
Jericho and Hai:
