And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 28 is found in chapter 8 of Joshua. Israel defeats the inhabitants of Ai and destroys the city. Its king is executed and his body is exposed until evening, according to the law concerning bodies subjected to judgment. He is then buried under a great heap of stones. The narrative transforms the place of the former defeat into a memorial of victory, although the episode retains the severe character of judgment associated with the conquest.
