Joshua 8:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ When you’ve taken the city, set it on fire, just as the Lord ordered. Look! These are your orders!”^{[a] 9} So Joshua sent them out, and they set up an ambush between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai.

Joshua spent that night in the camp^[b] among the army. ¹⁰ In the morning, Joshua got up early, mustered his army, and set off for Ai, accompanied by the elders of Israel in full view of the army.
