JOSHUA
CHAPTER 8
AI IN THE BIBLE LESSON
JOSHUA AND AI BIBLE RETUEN TO WAR
Happy you're here at Daily Bread for another
great story from the book of Joshua. Remember that city called Ai that
was in the last chapter? Yes, this was the city that unexpectedly caused
Israel to turn tail and run away from them, killing thirty six soldiers
of Israel because of the sin of Achan.
Now that the accursed thing
was gone, and the anger of the Lord was subsided, He told Joshua not to
be afraid, and to go to battle once again against the king of Ai and his
people, and this time, they would defeat Ai, just as they did Jericho.
But, the Lord had some different tactics in mind than those that were
used to take Jericho, and He instructed Joshua just how to put the
battle in array.
So Joshua sent thirty
thousand soldiers out during the night to lay an ambush behind the city.
Then early in the morning, the rest of the troops followed Joshua and
the elders to the front of the city and a valley was between them. They
made camp there and that night, Joshua went into the middle of the
valley.
AI IN THE BIBLE STUDY
JOSHUA AND AI BIBLE DECEPTION
When the king of Ai learned
of it, the men of Ai went out to battle against Israel, unaware of the
ambush that awaited behind the city. Now, the soldiers of Israel fled
from the men of Ai, pretending to be afraid of them, purposely to draw
them out of the city, and not a single man was left in Ai or in the
neighboring city of Bethel, that didn't pursue Israel.
Then, the Lord told Joshua to
stretch out the spear in his hand toward Ai, and He would give him the
victory over the city. When Joshua lifted the spear, the ambush arose
from behind and took the city and hurried and set it on fire.
When the men of Ai saw the
smoke of their city rising to Heaven, they had no place to run because
the soldiers from Israel that pretended to be running away from them
into the wilderness suddenly turned back around and the men of Ai were
surrounded with no way to escape ... And none of them did.
AI IN THE BIBLE TRUTH
JOSHUA AND AI BIBLE DECEPTION
The king of Ai was taken
alive to Joshua and all of the soldiers of Israel returned to the city
of Ai and killed the remaining inhabitants with the sword, but the Lord
told them to take the cattle and the spoil as prizes of war.
The king of Ai was hung on a
tree until evening, then they buried him under a heap of stones at the
gate of the city that was utterly destroyed. After that, Joshua
built an altar, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings to
the Lord, following the instructions that Moses had given him with half
the congregation standing on Mt. Gerizim and the other half on Mt. Ebal
(Deuteronomy
11:26-32,
Deuteronomy
27:2-13).
Joshua read all the words of
the law, the blessings and the cursings, and there wasn't a word of all
that Moses commanded that Joshua didn't read in the ears of the entire
congregation of Israel.
