And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 21 is found in chapter 8 of Joshua. When Joshua stretches out the spear, the soldiers in the ambush enter Ai, and the city is trapped between two forces. The narrative again highlights the coordination between Joshua’s signal and the military action. Victory over Ai contrasts with the earlier defeat: Israel has now dealt with internal sin and can act again under divine authorization. The sequence shows that the book connects obedience, communal discipline, and success in the mission entrusted to Israel.
