Joshua 8:1-2

The Fall of Ai

1 And the Lord said to Joshua, ^a“Do not fear and do not be dismayed. Take all the fighting men with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, ^bI have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, his city, and his land. 2 And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did ^cto Jericho and its king. Only ^dits spoil and its livestock you shall take as plunder for yourselves. Lay an ambush against the city, behind it.”
