¹⁸ And the Lord said to Joshua, Let your spear be stretched out against Ai; for I will give it into your hands. So Joshua took up his spear, stretching it out in the direction of the town.

²⁶ For Joshua did not take back his hand with the outstretched spear till the destruction of the people of Ai was complete.

²³ Is it through you that he is shaking like a locust, in the pride of his loud-sounding breath?

²⁵ Because his hand is stretched out against God, and his heart is lifted up against the Ruler of all,

⁴⁵ Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword and a spear and a javelin: but I come to you in the name of the Lord of armies, the God of the armies of Israel on which you have put shame.

⁴¹ And the Philistine came nearer to David; and the man who had his body-cover went before him.

⁶ His legs were covered with plates of brass and hanging on his back was a javelin of brass.

⁷ Then you will get up from your secret position and take the town, for the Lord your God will give it up into your hands.

⁹ And Moses said to Joshua, Get together a band of men for us and go out, make war on Amalek: tomorrow I will take my place on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.

¹⁰ So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and went to war with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

¹¹ Now while Moses' hand was lifted up, Israel was the stronger: but when he let his hand go down, Amalek became the stronger.

¹² But Moses' hands became tired; so they put a stone under him and he took his seat on it, Aaron and Hur supporting his hands, one on one side and one on the other; so his hands were kept up without falling till the sun went down.

¹⁶ And let your rod be lifted up and your hand stretched out over the sea, and it will be parted in two; and the children of Israel will go through on dry land.

⁵ And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the streams and the waterways and the pools, causing frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.
