Ai

¶ And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,

¶ Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;

That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.

The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;

The men of Bethel and Ai, two hundred twenty and three.

The men of Bethel and Ai, an hundred twenty and three.
