So the men went up and explored Ai. 3 When they returned to Joshua, they said, "Not everyone needs to go up. About two or three thousand men are enough to attack Ai. Do not make all the people toil there, for the population is small." 4 So about three thousand men went up, but they fled from the men of Ai. 5 The men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of them. They chased them from the city gate as far as the quarries and struck them down on the slopes. At this, the hearts of the people melted and became like water.
