06:007:026 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. 
           So the lord turned from the fierceness of his anger.  Wherefore
           the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto
           this day.

06:008:001 And the lord said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou
           dismayed:  take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go
           up to Ai:  see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and
           his people, and his city, and his land: 

06:008:002 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto
           Jericho and her king:  only the spoil thereof, and the cattle
           thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves:  lay thee an
           ambush for the city behind it.

06:008:003 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against
           Ai:  and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour,
           and sent them away by night.

06:008:004 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait
           against the city, even behind the city:  go not very far from
           the city, but be ye all ready: 

06:008:005 And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto
           the city:  and it shall come to pass, when they come out
           against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,

06:008:006 (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from
           the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the
           first:  therefore we will flee before them.

06:008:007 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the
           city:  for the lord your God will deliver it into your hand.

06:008:008 And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall
           set the city on fire:  according to the commandment of the lord
           shall ye do.  See, I have commanded you.

06:008:009 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.

06:008:010 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the
           people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the
           people to Ai.

06:008:011 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.

06:008:012 And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in
           ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

06:008:013 And when they had set the people, even all the host that was
           on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west
           of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the
           valley.
