Joshua 8:18

---

← Joshua 8:17	Joshua 8:18 (KJV)	Joshua 8:19 →
And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.	And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that [is] in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that [he had] in his hand toward the city.	And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
