* the king.
   The kings of Canaan lay under the same curse as their subjects
   and probably were more deeply criminal.  The reserving of the
   king of Ai for a solemn execution, would tend to strike terror
   into the other kings, contribute to the success of Israel, and
   give their proceedings the stamp of a judicial process, and of
   executing the vengeance of God upon his enemies.
