Joshua 8:27-29

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁷ Israel took the loot and the livestock of that city for themselves, as the Lord had commanded Joshua. ²⁸ So Joshua burned Ai and made it a deserted mound of ruins.^[a] It is still in ruins today.

²⁹ Joshua hung the king of Ai’s ⌞dead body⌟ on a pole and left him there until evening. When the sun went down, Joshua gave the order to take his body down. They threw it in the entrance of the city and made a large pile of stones over it. That pile is still there today.
