So they turned back and struck down the men of Ai. ^22 [b]And the others came out from the city to meet them, so that they were trapped in the midst of Israel, ^[c]some on this side and some on that side; and they struck them down until ^[d]there was ^(A)no one remaining for him who survived or escaped.
