King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. But the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] committed[H4603] a trespass[H4604] in the accursed thing:[H2764] for Achan,[H5912] the son[H1121] of Carmi,[H3756] the son[H1121] of Zabdi,[H2067] the son[H1121] of Zerah,[H2226] of the tribe[H4294] of Judah,[H3063] took[H3947] of[H4480] the accursed thing:[H2764] and the anger[H639] of the LORD[H3068] was kindled[H2734] against the children[H1121] of Israel.[H3478]

2. And Joshua[H3091] sent[H7971] men[H376] from Jericho[H4480] [H3405] to Ai,[H5857] which[H834] is beside[H5973] Beth-aven,[H1007] on the east side[H4480] [H6924] of Bethel,[H1008] and spoke[H559] unto[H413] them, saying,[H559] Go up[H5927] and view[H7270] [H853] the country.[H776] And the men[H376] went up[H5927] and viewed[H7270] [H853] Ai.[H5857]

3. And they returned[H7725] to[H413] Joshua,[H3091] and said[H559] unto[H413] him, Let not[H408] all[H3605] the people[H5971] go up;[H5927] but let about two[H505] or[H176] three[H7969] thousand[H505] men[H376] go up[H5927] and smite[H5221] [H853] Ai;[H5857] and make not[H408] [H853] all[H3605] the people[H5971] to labor[H3021] thither;[H8033] for[H3588] they[H1992] are but few.[H4592]

4. So there went up[H5927] thither[H8033] of[H4480] the people[H5971] about three[H7969] thousand[H505] men:[H376] and they fled[H5127] before[H6440] the men[H376] of Ai.[H5857]

5. And the men[H376] of Ai[H5857] smote[H5221] of[H4480] them about thirty[H7970] and six[H8337] men:[H376] for they chased[H7291] them from before[H6440] the gate[H8179] even unto[H5704] Shebarim,[H7671] and smote[H5221] them in the going down:[H4174] wherefore the hearts[H3824] of the people[H5971] melted,[H4549] and became[H1961] as water.[H4325]

6. And Joshua[H3091] rent[H7167] his clothes,[H8071] and fell[H5307] to the earth[H776] upon[H5921] his face[H6440] before[H6440] the ark[H727] of the LORD[H3068] until[H5704] the eventide,[H6153] he[H1931] and the elders[H2205] of Israel,[H3478] and put[H5927] dust[H6083] upon[H5921] their heads.[H7218]

7. And Joshua[H3091] said,[H559] Alas,[H162] O Lord[H136] GOD,[H3069] wherefore[H4100] hast thou at all brought[H5674] [H5674] [H853] this[H2088] people[H5971] over[H5674] [H853] Jordan,[H3383] to deliver[H5414] us into the hand[H3027] of the Amorites,[H567] to destroy[H6] us? would to God[H3863] we had been content,[H2974] and dwelt[H3427] on the other side[H5676] Jordan![H3383]

8. O[H994] Lord,[H136] what[H4100] shall I say,[H559] when[H310] [H834] Israel[H3478] turneth[H2015] their backs[H6203] before[H6440] their enemies![H341]

9. For the Canaanites[H3669] and all[H3605] the inhabitants[H3427] of the land[H776] shall hear[H8085] of it, and shall environ us round,[H5437] [H5921] and cut off[H3772] [H853] our name[H8034] from[H4480] the earth:[H776] and what[H4100] wilt thou do[H6213] unto thy great[H1419] name?[H8034]

10. And the LORD[H3068] said[H559] unto[H413] Joshua,[H3091] Get thee up;[H6965] wherefore[H4100] liest[H5307] thou[H859] thus[H2088] upon[H5921] thy face?[H6440]

11. Israel[H3478] hath sinned,[H2398] and they have also[H1571] transgressed[H5674] [H853] my covenant[H1285] which[H834] I commanded[H6680] them: for they have even[H1571] taken[H3947] of[H4480] the accursed thing,[H2764] and have also[H1571] stolen,[H1589] and dissembled[H3584] also,[H1571] and they have put[H7760] it even[H1571] among their own stuff.[H3627]

12. Therefore the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] could[H3201] not[H3808] stand[H6965] before[H6440] their enemies,[H341] but turned[H6437] their backs[H6203] before[H6440] their enemies,[H341] because[H3588] they were[H1961] accursed:[H2764] neither[H3808] will I be[H1961] with[H5973] you any more,[H3254] except[H518] [H3808] ye destroy[H8045] the accursed[H2764] from among[H4480] [H7130] you.

13. Up,[H6965] sanctify[H6942] [H853] the people,[H5971] and say,[H559] Sanctify yourselves[H6942] against tomorrow:[H4279] for[H3588] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the Lord[H3068] God[H430] of Israel.[H3478] There is an accursed thing[H2764] in the midst[H7130] of thee, O Israel:[H3478] thou canst[H3201] not[H3808] stand[H6965] before[H6440] thine enemies,[H341] until[H5704] ye take away[H5493] the accursed thing[H2764] from among[H4480] [H7130] you.

14. In the morning[H1242] therefore ye shall be brought[H7126] according to your tribes:[H7626] and it shall be,[H1961] that the tribe[H7626] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] taketh[H3920] shall come[H7126] according to the families[H4940] thereof; and the family[H4940] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] shall take[H3920] shall come[H7126] by households;[H1004] and the household[H1004] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] shall take[H3920] shall come[H7126] man by man.[H1397]

15. And it shall be,[H1961] that he that is taken[H3920] with the accursed thing[H2764] shall be burnt[H8313] with fire,[H784] he and all[H3605] that[H834] he hath: because[H3588] he hath transgressed[H5674] [H853] the covenant[H1285] of the LORD,[H3068] and because[H3588] he hath wrought[H6213] folly[H5039] in Israel.[H3478]

16. So Joshua[H3091] rose up early[H7925] in the morning,[H1242] and brought[H7126] [H853] Israel[H3478] by their tribes;[H7626] and the tribe[H7626] of Judah[H3063] was taken: [H3920]

17. And he brought[H7126] [H853] the family[H4940] of Judah;[H3063] and he took[H3920] [H853] the family[H4940] of the Zarhites:[H2227] and he brought[H7126] [H853] the family[H4940] of the Zarhites[H2227] man by man;[H1397] and Zabdi[H2067] was taken: [H3920]

18. And he brought[H7126] [H853] his household[H1004] man by man;[H1397] and Achan,[H5912] the son[H1121] of Carmi,[H3756] the son[H1121] of Zabdi,[H2067] the son[H1121] of Zerah,[H2226] of the tribe[H4294] of Judah,[H3063] was taken.[H3920]

19. And Joshua[H3091] said[H559] unto[H413] Achan,[H5912] My son,[H1121] give,[H7760] I pray thee,[H4994] glory[H3519] to the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] and make[H5414] confession[H8426] unto him; and tell[H5046] me now[H4994] what[H4100] thou hast done;[H6213] hide[H3582] it not[H408] from[H4480] me.

20. And Achan[H5912] answered[H6030] [H853] Joshua,[H3091] and said,[H559] Indeed[H546] I[H595] have sinned[H2398] against the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] and thus[H2063] and thus[H2063] have I done: [H6213]

21. When I saw[H7200] among the spoils[H7998] a[H259] goodly[H2896] Babylonish[H8152] garment,[H155] and two hundred[H3967] shekels[H8255] of silver,[H3701] and a[H259] wedge[H3956] of gold[H2091] of fifty[H2572] shekels[H8255] weight,[H4948] then I coveted[H2530] them, and took[H3947] them; and, behold,[H2009] they are hid[H2934] in the earth[H776] in the midst[H8432] of my tent,[H168] and the silver[H3701] under[H8478] it.

22. So Joshua[H3091] sent[H7971] messengers,[H4397] and they ran[H7323] unto the tent;[H168] and, behold,[H2009] it was hid[H2934] in his tent,[H168] and the silver[H3701] under[H8478] it.

23. And they took[H3947] them out of the midst[H4480] [H8432] of the tent,[H168] and brought[H935] them unto[H413] Joshua,[H3091] and unto[H413] all[H3605] the children[H1121] of Israel,[H3478] and laid them out[H3332] before[H6440] the LORD.[H3068]

24. And Joshua,[H3091] and all[H3605] Israel[H3478] with[H5973] him, took[H3947] [H853] Achan[H5912] the son[H1121] of Zerah,[H2226] and the silver,[H3701] and the garment,[H155] and the wedge[H3956] of gold,[H2091] and his sons,[H1121] and his daughters,[H1323] and his oxen,[H7794] and his asses,[H2543] and his sheep,[H6629] and his tent,[H168] and all[H3605] that[H834] he had: and they brought[H5927] them unto the valley[H6010] of Achor.[H5911]

25. And Joshua[H3091] said,[H559] Why[H4100] hast thou troubled[H5916] us? the LORD[H3068] shall trouble[H5916] thee this[H2088] day.[H3117] And all[H3605] Israel[H3478] stoned[H5619] him with stones,[H68] and burned[H8313] them with fire,[H784] after they had stoned[H7275] them with stones.[H68]

26. And they raised[H6965] over[H5921] him a great[H1419] heap[H1530] of stones[H68] unto[H5704] this[H2088] day.[H3117] So the LORD[H3068] turned[H7725] from the fierceness[H4480] [H2740] of his anger.[H639] Wherefore[H5921] [H3651] the name[H8034] of that[H1931] place[H4725] was called,[H7121] The valley[H6010] of Achor,[H5911] unto[H5704] this[H2088] day.[H3117]
