So the men went up and spied out Ai. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/joshua/7-3.htm" target="_top"><b>3</b></a></span>They returned to Joshua and said to him, Do not let all the people go up; <i>only</i> about two or three thousand men need go up to Ai; do not make all the people toil up there, for they are few. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/joshua/7-4.htm" target="_top"><b>4</b></a></span>So about three thousand men from the people went up there, but they fled from the men of Ai. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/joshua/7-5.htm" target="_top"><b>5</b></a></span>The men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of their men, and pursued them from the gate as far as Shebarim and struck them down on the descent, so the hearts of the people melted and became as water.<p>       <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/joshua/7-6.htm" target="_top"><b>6</b></a></span>Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the L<font size="1">ORD</font> until the evening, <i>both</i> he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/joshua/7-7.htm" target="_top"><b>7</b></a></span>Joshua said, Alas, O Lord G<font size="1">OD</font>, why did You ever bring this people over the Jordan, <i>only</i> to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us?

The L<font size="1">ORD</font> will trouble you this day. And all Israel stoned them with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/joshua/7-26.htm" target="_top"><b>26</b></a></span>They raised over him a great heap of stones that stands to this day, and the L<font size="1">ORD</font> turned from the fierceness of His anger.
