Joshua 8:29, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
After Israel captured Ai by ambush, the king was taken alive and brought to Joshua (verse 23). Hanging the body on a tree until evening, then throwing it down at the city gate under a pile of stones, followed the law of Moses, which required that an executed man not remain overnight but be buried the same day (Deuteronomy 21:22-23).
