Joshua 7:3-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ After returning to Joshua they reported to him, “Don’t send all the people, but send about 2,000 or 3,000^[a] men to attack Ai. Since the people of Ai are so few, don’t wear out all our people there.” ⁴ So about 3,000 men^[b] went up there, but they fled from the men of Ai.^{(A) 5} The men of Ai struck down about 36 of them and chased them from outside the gate to the quarries,^[c] striking them down on the descent. As a result, the people’s hearts melted and became like water.^(B)
