H3379But JeroboamH3993caused an ambushmentH935to come[H8800] H5437about[H8689] H310behindH6440them: so they were beforeH3063JudahH3993, and the ambushmentH310was behind them.
H3091JoshuaH7971therefore sent them forth[H8799] H3212: and they went[H8799] H3993to lie in ambushH3427, and abode[H8799] H1008between BethelH5857and AiH3220, on the west sideH5857of AiH3091: but JoshuaH3885lodged[H8799] H3915that nightH8432amongH5971the people.

H5971For my peopleH191is foolishH3045, they have not known[H8804] H5530me; they are sottishH1121childrenH995, and they have none understanding[H8737] H2450: they are wiseH7489to do evil[H8687] H3190, but to do good[H8687] H3045they have no knowledge[H8804] .
H2451There is no wisdomH8394nor understandingH6098nor counselH3068against the LORD.
H6256And whenH2490they began[H8689] H7440to singH8416and to praiseH3068, the LORDH5414set[H8804] H693ambushments[H8764] H1121against the childrenH5983of AmmonH4124, MoabH2022, and mountH8165SeirH935, which were come[H8802] H3063against JudahH5062; and they were smitten[H8735] .
