Joshua 8:26 For Joshua did not withdraw his hand with which he stretched out the javelin until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. (NASB ©1995)Exodus 17:11 So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed.
Exodus 17:12 But Moses' hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set. (NASB ©1995) Treasury of Scripture Knowledge For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.Joshua Joshua seems to have been not only the general but the standard bearer of the army, (verse 18) and continued in this employment, by holding up or extending his spear, during the whole of the battle; and did not slacken from the pursuit till the forces of Ai were utterly discomfited. Some commentators, however, understand this action in a figurative sense, like the holding up of Moses' hands, as if it implied that Joshua continued in prayer for the success of his troops, nor ceased till the armies of Ai were annihilated, and the city taken and destroyed. drew not Jos 8:18 Ex 17:11,12 Concordance Entries Ai Complete Destroyed Destruction Devoted Didn't Draw Drew Held Inhabitants Javelin Joshua Outstretched Spear Stretched Till Utterly Wherewith Withdraw Jump to Previous Occurrence Ai Complete Destroyed Destruction Devoted Draw Drew Hand Held Inhabitants Javelin Joshua Outstretched Spear Stretched Utterly Wherewith Withdraw Jump to Next Occurrence Ai Complete Destroyed Destruction Devoted Draw Drew Hand Held Inhabitants Javelin Joshua Outstretched Spear Stretched Utterly Wherewith Withdraw New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif.
