Joshua 8:27-29

Good News Translation

²⁷ The Israelites kept for themselves the livestock and goods captured in the city, as the Lord had told Joshua. ²⁸ Joshua burned Ai and left it in ruins. It is still like that today. ²⁹ He hanged the king of Ai from a tree and left his body there until evening. At sundown Joshua gave orders for the body to be removed, and it was thrown down at the entrance to the city gate. They covered it with a huge pile of stones, which is still there today.
