MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ And it happened, when the king of Ai saw, they hurried and rose up early. And the men of the city went out to do battle against Israel, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the plain. But he did not know that there were some lying in ambush against him behind the city. ¹⁵ And Joshua and all Israel acted as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness. ¹⁶ And all the people in Ai were called together to run after them. And they ran after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
