SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:23
¶ Y tomaron vivo al rey de Hai, y lo trajeron a Josué.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. And the king of Ai they took alive , etc.] They spared him, and reserved him for a more shameful death: and brought him to Joshua ; their general; delivering him into his hands as his prisoner, to do will, him as seemed good in his sight.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-29 - God, the righteous Judge, had sentenced the Canaanites for their wickedness; the Israelites only executed his doom. None of their conduct can be drawn into an example for others. Especial reason n doubt there was for this severity to the king of Ai; it is likely he had been notoriously wicked and vile, and a blasphemer of the God of Israel.
