Joshua 8:1-2

Lexham English Bible

Ai Is Destroyed

8 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not fear or be dismayed. Take all the fighting men^[a] with you and go up immediately to Ai.^[b] Look, I am giving into your hand the king of Ai, his city, and his land. ² You will do to Ai and its king that which you did to Jericho and its king; you may take only its spoils^[c] and livestock as booty for yourself. Set for yourself an ambush against the city from behind it.”
