Joshua 6:25 - And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Rahab became mother to Boaz, ancestor of King David and of Jesus: Matthew 1:5. Mentioned as an example of faith that works, Hebrews 11:31; James 2:25.
Joshua 6:26 - And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
Prediction fulfilled in I Kings 16:34.
