"So Joshuaª arose,ª° and all¹ the peopleª of war,ª to go upª° against Ai:ª and Joshuaª chose outª° thirtyª thousandª mightyª menª of valour,ª and sent them awayª° by night.ª" {Jsh 8:3} + "And it came to pass,¹ when Israelª had made an endª° of slayingª°¹ all¹ the inhabitantsª° of Aiª in the field,ª in the wildernessª wherein¹ they chasedª° them, and when they were all¹ fallenª° on the edgeª of the sword,ª until¹ they were consumed,ª° that all¹ the Israelitesª returnedª° unto Ai,ª and smoteª° it with the edgeª of the sword.ª ... And [so] it was,¹ [that] all¹ that fellª° that¹ day,ª both of menª¹ and women,ª [were] twelveªª thousand,ª [even] all¹ the men²¹ of Ai.ª" {Jsh 8:24-25} + "For¹ it was¹ of¹¹ the LORDª to hardenª°¹ their hearts,ª that they should come againstª°¹ Israelª in battle,ª that¹ he might destroy¹ them utterly,²° [and] that they might have¹ no¹ favour,ª but¹ that¹ he might destroyª° them, as¹ the LORDª commandedª°¹ Moses.ª" {Jsh 11:20} + "But Sihonª kingª of Heshbonª wouldª° not¹ let us passª° by him: for¹ the LORDª thy Godª hardenedª°¹ his spirit,ª and made his heart² obstinate,ª°¹¹ that¹ he might deliverª° him into thy hand,ª as [appeareth] this¹ day.ª" {Deu 2:30} + "He takethª° the wiseª in their own craftiness:ª and the counselª of the frowardª° is carried headlong.ª°" {Job 5:13} + "Surely¹ the princesª of Zoanª [are] fools,ª the counselª of the wiseª counsellorsª° of Pharaohª is become brutish:ª° how¹ sayª° ye unto¹ Pharaoh,ª I¹ [am] the sonª of the wise,ª the sonª of ancientª kings?ª ... The princesª of Zoanª are become fools,ª° the princesª of Nophª are deceived;ª° they have also seducedª°¹ Egypt,ª [even they that are] the stayª of the tribesª thereof." {Isa 19:11-13}
Bethel:
Bethel is not mentioned in the Greek version, and some, with Houbigant and Pilkington, think it was not originally in the Hebrew; because, had the men of Bethel pursued, as well as those of Ai, it would have been said that they left the cities, and not the city, open. The principal strength of Bethel might have been previously taken into Ai, as the strongest place to make a stand in; Bethel being but about three miles westward from Ai.
