Do not fear or be dismayed; take all the fighting men with you, and go up now to Ai See, I have handed over to you the king of Ai with his people, his city, and his land You shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king Only its spoil and its livestock you may take as booty for yourselves Set an ambush against the city, behind it

Ten thousand Twenty thousand Thirty thousand Forty thousand Fifty thousand

You shall lie in ambush against the city, behind it; do not go very far from the city, but all of you stay alert I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. When they come out against us, as before, we shall flee from them They will come out after us until we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, ‘They are fleeing from us, as before While we flee from them, you shall rise up from the ambush and seize the city; for the LORD your God will give it into your hand And when you have taken the city, you shall set the city on fire, doing as the LORD has ordered; see, I have commanded you

Joshua stretched out the sword that was in his hand toward the city. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the troops in ambush rose quickly out of their place and rushed forward They entered the city, took it, and at once set the city on fire. So when the men of Ai looked back, the smoke of the city was rising to the sky They had no power to flee this way or that, for the people who fled to the wilderness turned back against the pursuers When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city and that the smoke of the city was rising, then they turned back and struck down the men of Ai And the others came out from the city against them; so they were surrounded by Israelites, some on one side, and some on the other; and Israel struck them down until no one was left who survived or escaped. But the king of Ai was taken alive and brought to Joshua

When the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai, they on their part acted with cunning They went and prepared provisions, and took worn-out sacks for their donkeys And wineskins, worn-out and torn and mended, with worn-out, patched sandals on their feet, and worn-out clothes; and all their provisions were dry and moldy They went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal They did not meet Joshua
