Joshua 8:22

8:22 At the same time the men who had taken the city came out to fight, and the men of Ai were trapped in the middle. ¹  The Israelites struck them down, leaving no survivors or refugees.

Joshua 10:10-11

10:10 The Lord routed ²  them before Israel. Israel ³  thoroughly defeated them ⁴  at Gibeon. They chased them up the road to the pass ⁵  of Beth Horon and struck them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah. 10:11 As they fled from Israel on the slope leading down from ⁶  Beth Horon, the Lord threw down on them large hailstones from the sky, ⁷  all the way to Azekah. They died – in fact, more died from the hailstones than the Israelites killed with the sword.

Joshua 10:42

10:42 Joshua captured in one campaign ⁸  all these kings and their lands, for the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.

Joshua 10:1

Israel Defeats an Amorite Coalition

10:1 Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem, ⁹  heard how Joshua captured Ai and annihilated it and its king as he did Jericho ¹⁰  and its king. ¹¹  He also heard how ¹²  the people of Gibeon made peace with Israel and lived among them.

Joshua 7:3-4

7:3 They returned and reported to Joshua, ¹³  “Don’t send the whole army. ¹⁴  About two or three thousand men are adequate to defeat Ai. ¹⁵  Don’t tire out the whole army, for Ai is small.” ¹⁶ 

7:4 So about three thousand men went up, but they fled from the men of Ai.

Joshua 7:10-11

7:10 The Lord responded ¹⁷  to Joshua, “Get up! Why are you lying there face down? ¹⁸  7:11 Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenantal commandment! ¹⁹  They have taken some of the riches; ²⁰  they have stolen them and deceitfully put them among their own possessions. ²¹ 

Joshua 7:2

7:2 Joshua sent men from Jericho ²²  to Ai (which is located near Beth Aven, east of Bethel ²³ ) and instructed them, “Go up and spy on the land.” So the men went up and spied on Ai.

Joshua 14:2-6

14:2 The land assignments to the nine-and-a-half tribes were made by drawing lots, as the Lord had instructed Moses. ²⁴  14:3 Now Moses had assigned land ²⁵  to the two-and-a-half tribes east of the Jordan, but he assigned no land ²⁶  to the Levites. ²⁷  14:4 The descendants of Joseph were considered as two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites were allotted no territory, though they were assigned cities in which to live, along with the grazing areas for their cattle and possessions. ²⁸  14:5 The Israelites followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses and divided up the land. ²⁹ 

14:6 The men of Judah approached Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the Lord said about you and me to Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh Barnea. ³⁰ 

Joshua 14:9-15

14:9 That day Moses made this solemn promise: ³¹  ‘Surely the land on which you walked ³²  will belong to you and your descendants permanently, ³³  for you remained loyal to the Lord your God.’ 14:10 So now, look, the Lord has preserved my life, just as he promised, these past forty-five years since the Lord spoke these words to Moses, during which Israel traveled through the wilderness. Now look, I am today eighty-five years old. 14:11 Today I am still as strong as when Moses sent me out. I can fight and go about my daily activities with the same energy I had then. ³⁴  14:12 Now, assign me this hill country which the Lord promised me at that time! No doubt you heard at that time that the Anakites live there in large, fortified cities. ³⁵  But, assuming the Lord is with me, I will conquer ³⁶  them, as the Lord promised.” 14:13 Joshua asked God to empower Caleb son of Jephunneh and assigned him Hebron. ³⁷  14:14 So Hebron remains the assigned land of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this very day ³⁸  because he remained loyal to the Lord God of Israel. 14:15 (Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba. Arba was a famous Anakite. ³⁹ ) Then the land was free of war.

If Sheba (or Shema) is retained, the list numbers fourteen, one more than the number given in the concluding summary (v. 6).
