Joshua 8:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 And he took about five thousand men, [a]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 host that was on the North side against the city, and the liars in wait on the West, against the city: and Joshua went the same night into the [b]midst of the valley.
14 ¶ And when the king of Ai saw it, then the men of the city hasted and rose up early, and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the plain: for he knew not that any lay in wait against him on the back side of the city.
