Joshua 8:14-16

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁴ When the king of Ai saw this, the men of the city got up quickly and went out to face Israel in battle—the king and all his people—at the chosen place^[a] facing the Arabah. But he did not know that there was an ambush for him west of the city. ¹⁵ Then Joshua and all Israel pretended to be beaten before them and fled toward the wilderness. ¹⁶ All the people that were in the city were marshaled to pursue them. As they pursued Joshua, they were lured away from the city.
