24 And they said to Joshua, “Truly the Lord has given all the land into our hands. And also, all the inhabitants of the land melt away because of us.”

2 And the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and mighty men of valor.

The Fall of Ai

1 And the Lord said to Joshua, ^p“Do not fear and do not be dismayed. Take all the fighting men with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given ^qinto your hand the king of Ai, and his people, his city, and his land.

8 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands. ^lNot a man of them shall stand before you.”

30 And the Lord gave it also and its ^bking into the hand of Israel. And he struck it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it; he left none remaining in it. And he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

8 ^mThen I brought you to the land of the Amorites, who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They fought with you, and I gave them into your hand, and you took possession of their land, and I destroyed them before you.
