Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 9 is found in chapter 8 of Joshua. After resolving Achan’s sin, God again permits Israel to advance against Ai and gives detailed instructions for an ambush. The difference from Jericho is important: here Joshua uses a concrete military strategy, but he still acts under divine command. Victory does not eliminate the need for human planning; rather, strategy is integrated into God’s direction. Joshua carefully prepares his men and positions the ambush behind the city.
