SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:1–29 Israel defeated Ai.

In chapter 7, Israel attacked Ai and the soldiers of Ai defeated them. They were discouraged but they repented of their sin. In chapter 8, God told Joshua to attack Ai again. This time, the Israelites were victorious and defeated Ai.

Verses 8:1–9 describe Joshua’s preparations to attack Ai, with details about the ambush. The soldiers in the ambush left by night ahead of the other soldiers. Verses 8:10–27 describe the movement of the soldiers, and the defeat of Ai. Verses 8:28–29 is a summary of the story.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The fall and destruction of Ai

Israel conquered Ai

8:23

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

But they took the king of Ai alive and brought him to Joshua: The Israelite soldiers killed all the soldiers of Ai, but they did not kill the king. Instead they captured him and brought him to Joshua.

In Hebrew the object of the sentence, the king of Ai, comes first for emphasis. It may be more natural in some languages to move it to its normal place in the clause. For example:

But they took alive the king of Ai (NASB)

Another way to translate the sentence is by using a passive construction. This may allow you to put the king of Ai at the front of the sentence. For example:

But the king of Ai was taken alive (NRSV)
