28 So Joshua burned Ai and made it aa heap forever, a desolation to this day.  
29 aAnd the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening. bAnd as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his corpse down from the tree, cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and craise over it a great heap of stones that remains to this day.

Joshua 8:28

Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever—"For ever" often signifies "a long time" (Genesis 6:3). One of the remarkable things with regard to the tell we have identified with Ai is its name—the tell of the heap of stones—a name which to this day remains [VAN DE VELDE].
