8 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:

² And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.

² And the Lord said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.

²⁵ And David did so, as the Lord had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.

¹⁶ David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
