Joshua 8:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 When Joshua and all Israel saw that they that lay in wait, had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city mounted up, then they turned again and slew the men of Ai.
22 Also the [a]other issued out of the city against them: so were they in the midst of Israel, these being on the one side, and the rest on the other side: and they slew them, so that they let none of them (A)remain nor escape.
23 And the King of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
