The Capture of Ai

The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid. Do not be overwhelmed. Take with you the whole military force[a] and get ready to go up to Ai. You see, I have given the king of Ai into your hand with his people, his city, and his land. You shall do to Ai and its king just as you did to Jericho and its king, but its plunder and its livestock you may take as spoils of war for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city on the west side of it.”
