Joshua 8:9 In-Context

7 you shall rise up from the ambush and seize the city; for the Lord your God will give it into your hand.
8 And when you have taken the city, you shall set the city on fire, doing as the Lord has ordered; see, I have commanded you."
9 So Joshua sent them out; and they went to the place of ambush, and lay between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai; but Joshua spent that night in the camp.
10 In the morning Joshua rose early and mustered the people, and went up, with the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
11 All the fighting men who were with him went up, and drew near before the city, and camped on the north side of Ai, with a ravine between them and Ai.
