Joshua 8
And
the
Lord
said
unto
Joshua,
Fear
not,
neither
be
thou
dismayed:
take
all
the
people
of
war
with
thee,
and
arise,
go
up
to
Ai:
see,
I
have
given
into
thy
hand
the
king
of
Ai,
and
his
people,
and
his
city,
and
his
land:
2 And
thou
shalt
do
to
Ai
and
her
king
as
thou
didst
unto
a
Jericho
and
her
king:
only
the
spoil
thereof,
and
the
cattle
thereof,
shall
ye
take
for
a
prey
unto
yourselves:
lay
thee
an
ambush
for
the
city
behind
it.
3 So
Joshua
arose,
and
all
the
people
of
war,
to
go
up
against
Ai:
and
Joshua
chose
out
thirty
thousand
mighty
men
of
valour,
and
sent
them
away
by
night.
4 And
he
commanded
them,
saying,
Behold,
ye
shall
lie
in
wait
against
the
city,
even
behind
the
city:
go
not
very
far
from
the
city,
but
be
ye
all
ready:
5 And
I,
and
all
the
people
that
are
with
me,
will
approach
unto
the
city:
and
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
they
come
out
against
us,
as
at
the
first,
that
we
will
flee
before
them,
6 (For
they
will
come
out
after
us)
till
we
have
drawn
them
from
the
city;
for
they
will
say,
They
flee
before
us,
as
at
the
first:
therefore
we
will
flee
before
them.
7 Then
ye
shall
rise
up
from
the
ambush,
and
seize
upon
the
city:
for
the
Lord
your
God
will
deliver
it
into
your
hand.
8 And
it
shall
be,
when
ye
have
taken
the
city,
that
ye
shall
set
the
city
on
fire:
according
to
the
commandment
of
the
Lord
shall
ye
do.
See,
I
have
commanded
you.
9 Joshua
therefore
sent
them
forth:
and
they
went
to
lie
in
ambush,
and
abode
between
Beth-el
and
Ai,
on
the
west
side
of
Ai:
but
Joshua
lodged
that
night
among
the
people.
