And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 8 of Joshua. Joshua approaches Ai and draws out its defenders. The men of the city believe Israel is fleeing as in the first battle and leave the protection of their walls. The episode shows how the memory of the previous defeat is used by Israel within a military deception strategy. Ai’s confidence in its earlier success ultimately becomes a vulnerability that allows Israel to execute the ambush.

Todos los hombres de guerra que estaban con él subieron, se acercaron y llegaron frente a la ciudad. Acamparon al norte de Hai; el valle estaba entre él y Hai.
Tous les gens de guerre qui étaient avec lui montèrent et s'approchèrent; lorsqu'ils furent arrivés en face de la ville, ils campèrent au nord d'Aï, dont ils étaient séparés par la vallée.
E tutta la gente di guerra ch’era con lui, salì, e si accostò, e giunse dirimpetto alla città, e pose campo dalla parte settentrionale d’Ai; e la valle era tra lui ed Ai.
E subiram também todos os homens de guerra, que estavam com ele; e aproximaram-se, e chegaram defronte da cidade; e alojaram-se do lado norte de Ai, e havia um vale entre eles e Ai.
所有跟他一起作戰的士兵都上去,向前逼近,來到城前,就在 艾城 北邊安營。 約書亞 與 艾城 之間隔著一個山谷。
