Joshua 8:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ So all the people in Ai were called together to pursue them, and they pursued Joshua and were drawn away from the city.

¹⁷ Not a man was left in Ai or Bethel who did not go out after Israel. Leaving the city open, they pursued Israel.

¹⁸ Then the Lord said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand. So Joshua stretched out the javelin in his hand toward the city.
