Joshua 8:15-17

15 Joshua and all Israel pretended to be defeated by them, and they retreated along the way to the wilderness. 16 All the reinforcements[a] in Ai[b] were ordered[c] to chase them; they chased Joshua and were lured away from the city. 17 No men were left in Ai or Bethel;[d] they all went out after Israel.[e] They left the city wide open and chased Israel.
