    11All the fighting men who were with him went up and approached the city. They camped to the north of Ai, with the valley between them and the city.

    12He took about five thousand men and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, west of the city.

    13The people positioned all the camp to the north of the city, while a rear guard was placed to the west of the city. That night, Joshua went into the valley.

    14When the king of Ai saw this, he and all his men of the city hurried and rose early, going out to meet Israel in battle at the appointed place near the Arabah. But he did not know that an ambush was set against him behind the city.

    15Joshua and all Israel pretended to be beaten before them and fled toward the wilderness.

    16All the people of Ai were summoned to pursue them. They chased after Joshua and were drawn away from the city.

    17Not a man remained in Ai or Bethel who did not go out after Israel. They left the city unguarded and pursued Israel.

    18The Lord said to Joshua, "Stretch out the javelin in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand." So Joshua stretched out the javelin in his hand toward the city.

    19As soon as he stretched out his hand, the ambush rose quickly from their position, ran into the city, captured it, and immediately set it on fire.

    20When the men of Ai looked back, they saw the smoke of the city rising to the sky, and they had no power to flee in any direction. The Israelites who had fled toward the wilderness now turned against their pursuers.

    21When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had captured the city and that its smoke was rising, they turned back and struck down the men of Ai.

    22The others came out from the city to meet them, so the men of Ai were surrounded by the Israelites, some on one side and some on the other. They struck them down until no survivors or fugitives were left.

    23But they captured the king of Ai alive and brought him to Joshua.

    24When Israel finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the open field and in the wilderness where they had pursued them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword until they were completely destroyed, all Israel returned to Ai and struck it down with the sword.

    25On that day, twelve thousand men and women, all the people of Ai, fell.

    26Joshua did not draw back the hand with which he had stretched out the javelin until he had completely destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

    1The Lord said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid or dismayed. Take all the fighting men with you and go up to Ai. See, I have delivered into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land."

    2"Do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king. However, you may take its spoil and its livestock for yourselves. Set an ambush against the city, behind it."

    3So Joshua and all the fighting men rose to go up to Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand mighty men of valor and sent them out by night.

    4He commanded them, saying, "Behold, you are to lie in ambush against the city, behind it. Do not go far from the city, but all of you stay ready."
