Joshua 8:21 in Context — Joshua 8
19 Aussitôt qu’il eut étendu sa main, les hommes en embuscade sortirent précipitamment du lieu où ils étaient; ils pénétrèrent dans la ville, la prirent, et se hâtèrent d’y mettre le feu.
20 Les gens d’Aï, ayant regardé derrière eux, virent la fumée de la ville monter vers le ciel, et ils ne purent se sauver d’aucun côté. Le peuple qui fuyait vers le désert se retourna contre ceux qui le poursuivaient;
21 car Josué et tout Israël, voyant la ville prise par les hommes de l’embuscade, et la fumée de la ville qui montait, se retournèrent et battirent les gens d’Aï.
22 Les autres sortirent de la ville à leur rencontre, et les gens d’Aï furent enveloppés par Israël de toutes parts. Israël les battit, sans leur laisser un survivant ni un fuyard;
23 ils prirent vivant le roi d’Aï, et l’amenèrent à Josué.
