And there go up of the people thither about three thousand men, and they flee before the men of Ai,

And Joshua riseth, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai, and Joshua chooseth thirty thousand men, mighty ones of valour, and sendeth them away by night,

And he taketh about five thousand men, and setteth them an ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city;

and all who fall during the day, of men and of women, are twelve thousand -- all men of Ai.

one man of you doth pursue a thousand, for Jehovah your God is He who is fighting for you, as He hath spoken to you;
