Joshua 8:12-14

Darby Translation

¹² Now he had taken about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city.

¹³ And when they had set the people, the whole camp on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

¹⁴ And it came to pass when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hasted and rose early, and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the appointed place before the plain. But he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
