26 (A)Joshua kept the javelin in his hand stretched out until he had carried out the ban on all the inhabitants of Ai. 27 However, the Israelites took for themselves as plunder the livestock and the spoil of that city, according to the command of the Lord issued to Joshua. 28 Then Joshua destroyed Ai by fire, reducing it to an everlasting mound of ruins, as it remains today.(B) 29 He had the king of Ai hanged on a tree until evening;(C) then at sunset Joshua ordered the body removed from the tree and cast at the entrance of the city gate, where a great heap of stones was piled up over it, which remains to the present day.

Joshua 8:26-29
New International Version
26 For Joshua did not draw back the hand that held out his javelin(A) until he had destroyed[a](B) all who lived in Ai.(C) 27 But Israel did carry off for themselves the livestock and plunder of this city, as the Lord had instructed Joshua.(D)
28 So Joshua burned(E) Ai[b](F) and made it a permanent heap of ruins,(G) a desolate place to this day.(H) 29 He impaled the body of the king of Ai on a pole and left it there until evening. At sunset,(I) 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(J) over it, which remains to this day.

Joshua 8:26-29
King James Version
26 For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
27 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.
28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.
29 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.
