Joshua 10:1

Israel Defeats an Amorite Coalition

10:1 Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem, 1  heard how Joshua captured Ai and annihilated it and its king as he did Jericho 2  and its king. 3  He also heard how 4  the people of Gibeon made peace with Israel and lived among them.

Joshua 22:23

22:23 If we have built 5  an altar for ourselves to turn back from following the Lord by making 6  burnt sacrifices and grain offerings on it, or by offering 7  tokens of peace 8  on it, the Lord himself will punish us. 9

3 tn Heb “as he had done to Jericho and to its king, so he did to Ai and to its king.”

4 tn Heb “and how.”

5 tn Heb “by building.” The prepositional phrase may be subordinated to what precedes, “if in unfaithfulness…by building.”

6 tn Heb “or if to offer up.”

7 tn Heb “or if to make.”

8 tn Or “peace offerings.”

9 tn Heb “the Lord, he will seek.” Perhaps this is a self-imprecation in an oath, “may the Lord himself punish us.”
