Joshua 8:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ Joshua and his army let the men of Ai chase after them. They pretended to be afraid. They ran towards the desert. ¹⁶ The king told all the men who remained in the city to chase the Israelites. So they continued to chase after them, far away from their city. ¹⁷ No men remained in Ai or Bethel. They all chased after the Israelites. There was nobody left to keep the city safe.
