Joshua 8:26-28

International Children’s Bible

²⁶ Joshua had held his spear toward Ai. It was a sign to his people to destroy the city. And Joshua held out his spear until all the people of Ai were destroyed. ²⁷ The people of Israel kept the animals for themselves. They also kept the other things the people of Ai had owned. This is what the Lord told them to do when he gave Joshua the commands.

²⁸ Then Joshua burned the city of Ai. It became an empty pile of ruins. And it is still like that today.
