Joshua 8:19-21

Lexham English Bible

¹⁹ The moment he stretched out his hand, those in the ambush stood up quickly from their place and ran. And they went into the city and captured it, quickly setting the city ablaze with fire. ²⁰ Then the men of Ai looked behind them, and they saw smoke from the city rising to the sky; they had no power to flee this way or that,^[a] and the people fleeing the wilderness turned around to the pursuers.^{[b] 21} And Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had captured the city and that the smoke of the city was rising; they returned and struck down the men of Ai.
