Joshua 8:12-14

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² And he took about five thousand men and set them to lie in wait between Bethel and Ai, on the West side of the city.

¹³ And the people set all the army that was on the north side against the city, and those who lay in wait on the west, opposite the city. Joshua went the same night into the midst of the valley.

¹⁴ And when the king of Ai saw it, then the men of the city hurried and rose up early and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, in front of the plain. For he did not know that anyone lay in wait against him on the back side of the city.
