Joshua 8:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 8:13

11 ^aAnd all the people of war who were with him went up and drew near; and they came before the city and camped on the north side of Ai. Now a valley lay between them and Ai.

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

13 And when they had set the people, all the army that was on the north of the city, and its rear guard on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

14 Now it happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and rose early and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at an appointed place before the plain. But he ^adid not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

15 And Joshua and all Israel ^amade as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
