And so it came to pass that when Joshua and his army had completely destroyed all the men of Ai, they took hold of the king and hanged him on a tree and buried his carcass under a pile of stones at the gate. Then Joshua built an altar unto the Lord God of Israel in mount Ebal. This was in accordance with the commandment of Moses to the children of Israel, to build an altar of whole stones upon which no man has lifted up any iron instrument, and they offered up burnt offering unto the Lord as well as peace offerings. And he wrote upon the stones a copy of the laws of Moses which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel. And all Israel and their officers, and judges and elders, stood on both sides of the ark of the covenant of the priests which bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and before the strangers, as Moses the servant of the Lord had instructed them; and Joshua read the entire book of the law in the presence of all the people.
