Joshua 7:3-5

21st Century King James Version

³ And they returned to Joshua and said unto him, “Let not all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labor thither, for they are but few.”

⁴ So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men, and they fled before the men of Ai.

⁵ And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men, for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim and smote them in their going down. Therefore the hearts of the people melted and became as water.
