Joshua 8:25 - John Wesley's Notes

Joshua 8:25

23 But the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.

24 And it came to pass when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness where they pursued them, and when they all had fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword.

25 So it was that all who fell that day, both men and women, were twelve thousand—all the people of Ai.

26 For Joshua did not draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the spear, until he had ^autterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

27 ^aOnly the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took as booty for themselves, according to the word of the Lord which He had ^bcommanded Joshua.

Of Ai - Not strictly, but largely so called, who were now in Ai, either as constant and settled inhabitants, or as sojourners and such as came to them for their help.
