⁴ And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:

¹² And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

⁴³ And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them.

²⁹ And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.
