[28]
So they entered into Jericho, and slew all the men that were therein,
while they were aftrighted at the surprising overthrow of the walls, and
their courage was become useless, and they were not able to defend themselves;
so they were slain, and their throats cut, some in the ways, and others
as caught in their houses; nothing afforded them assistance, but they all
perished, even to the women and the children; and the city was filled with
dead bodies, and not one person escaped. They also burnt the whole city,
and the country about it; but they saved alive Rahab, with her family,
who had fled to her inn. And when she was brought to him, Joshua owned
to her that they owed her thanks for her preservation of the spies: so
he said he would not appear to be behind her in his benefaction to her;
whereupon he gave her certain lands immediately, and had her in great esteem
ever afterwards.
