the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;
The LORD said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid, and don’t be dismayed. Take all the warriors with you, and arise, go up to Ai. Behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, with his people, his city, and his land.
There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel who didn’t go out after Israel. They left the city open, and pursued Israel.
