06:008:027 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.

06:008:028 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a
           desolation unto this day.

06:008:029 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.

06:008:030 Then Joshua built an altar unto the lord God of Israel in
           mount Ebal,

06:008:031 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.

06:008:032 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.

06:008:033 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.

06:008:034 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.

06:008:035 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.

06:009:001 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;

06:009:002 That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua
           and with Israel, with one accord.

06:009:003 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done
           unto Jericho and to Ai,

06:009:004 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;
