Joshua 8:27-29
New American Standard Bible
27 (A)Israel took only the cattle and the spoils of that city as plunder for themselves, in accordance with the word of the Lord which He had commanded Joshua. 28 So Joshua burned Ai and made it (B)a refuse heap forever, a desolation until this day. 29 And (C)he hanged the king of Ai on [a]a tree until evening; but at sunset Joshua gave the command and they took his body down from [b]the tree and threw it at the entrance of the city gate, and erected over it a large heap of stones that stands to this day.

27 But Israel did carry off for themselves the livestock and plunder of this city, as the Lord had instructed Joshua.(A)
28 So Joshua burned(B) Ai[a](C) and made it a permanent heap of ruins,(D) a desolate place to this day.(E) 29 He impaled the body of the king of Ai on a pole and left it there until evening. At sunset,(F) Joshua ordered them to take the body from the pole and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate. And they raised a large pile of rocks(G) over it, which remains to this day.
