10. And Joshua rose up early in the morning and numbered the people and went up he and the elders of Israel, before the people against Ai.
11. And all the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew near and came before the city and pitched camp on the north side of Ai; now there was a valley between them and Ai.
12. 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.
13. And the people, all the camp that was on the side of the north came near to the city, and their ambush on the west of the city. And Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
