Joshua 8:13-15
English Standard Version
13 So they stationed the forces, the main encampment that was north of the city and its rear guard west of the city. But Joshua spent that night in the valley. 14 And as soon as the king of Ai saw this, he and all his people, the men of the city, hurried and went out early to the appointed place[a] toward (A)the Arabah to meet Israel in battle. (B)But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city. 15 And Joshua and all Israel (C)pretended to be beaten before them and fled in the direction of the wilderness.
