¹⁵ And Joshua and Israel saw, and retreated from before them. ¹⁶ And they pursued after the children of Israel, and they themselves went to a distance from the city. ¹⁷ There was no one left in Ai who did not pursue after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel. ¹⁸ And the Lord said to Joshua, Stretch forth your hand with the spear that is in your hand toward the city, for I have delivered it into your hands; and those lying in wait shall rise up quickly out of their place. ¹⁹ And Joshua stretched out his hand and his spear toward the city, and the ambush rose up quickly out of their place.
