New American Standard Bible
14 And it came about, when the king of Ai saw them, that the men of the city hurried and got up early, and went out to meet Israel in battle, he and all his people at the appointed place before the desert plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city. 15 Then Joshua and all Israel [a]pretended to be defeated before them, and fled (A)by the way of the wilderness. 16 And all the people who were in the city were called together to pursue them, and they pursued Joshua and (B)were lured away from the city.
