Israel Struck Down at Ai

7 ^(A)But the sons of Israel acted unfaithfully in regard to the things devoted to destruction. Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things; therefore the anger of Yahweh burned against the sons of Israel.

¹¹ Israel has sinned, and ^(A)they have also trespassed against My covenant which I commanded them. And they have even taken some of the things devoted to destruction and have both stolen and dealt falsely. Moreover, they have also put them among their own things. ¹² Therefore the ^(B)sons of Israel cannot rise before their enemies; they turn their ^[a]backs before their enemies, for they have become devoted to destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy the things devoted to destruction from your midst.

²¹ I saw among the spoil a beautiful mantle from Shinar and two hundred ^[a]shekels of silver and a bar of gold fifty shekels in weight; then I ^[b](A)coveted them and took them; and behold, they are concealed in the earth inside my tent with the silver underneath it.”

¹⁶ Now it happened that when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
