Joshua’s Trap Sprung

So Joshua gave careful instructions to his men which he placed in ambush behind the city, while he placed another forty thousand men in wait, in a valley to the North side of the city.  In the meantime Joshua appeared as if for a frontal assault on the city, and seeing them the men of Ai came rushing towards Joshua and his men, who in accordance with his pre-conceived plan fled before the army and people of Ai, who went chasing after them, feeling sure that they were already defeated and in full retreat, while Joshua and his men ran towards the wilderness causing it to appear they were fleeing for their lives.  Then on a pre-arranged signal from Joshua, the men that were hidden to take the city rushed in and set fire to it as there was no one left to defend it.  When the people of Ai looked back they saw their city on fire, and at the same time the second group of Joshua’s men emerged from their hiding place and attacked the king of Ai and his army and his people.  But by this time it was too late for the inhabitants of Ai.  Joshua and his men at arms descended upon them and cut them down until all were destroyed
