Joshua 8:29 describes the execution of the king of Ai after his capture — a direct narrative continuation of being taken alive.

Joshua 10:17 reports five kings hidden in a cave — a similar event of capturing enemy kings alive, part of the Canaanite conquest pattern.

In 1 Samuel 15:8, Saul likewise takes King Agag alive, mirroring Joshua’s capture of Ai’s king — a pattern of incomplete obedience later criticized.

In Revelation 19:20, the beast and false prophet are taken alive to judgment, echoing the fate of Ai’s king — a pattern of God’s enemies captured alive before destruction.
