Joshua 8:16 in Context — Joshua 8

14 O qual quando o rei de Ai viu, levantou-se prontamente de manhã, e saiu com a gente da cidade contra Israel, ele e todo seu povo, para combater pela planície ao tempo assinalado, não sabendo que lhe estava posta emboscada atrás da cidade.

15 Então Josué e todo Israel, fazendo-se de vencidos, fugiram diante deles pelo caminho do deserto.

16 E todo aquele povo que estava em Ai se juntou para segui-los: e seguiram a Josué, sendo assim tirados da cidade.

17 E não ficou homem em Ai e Betel, que não tivesse saído atrás de Israel; e por perseguir a Israel deixaram a cidade aberta.

18 Então o SENHOR disse a Josué: Levanta a lança que tens em tua mão até Ai, porque eu a entregarei em tua mão. E Josué levantou até a cidade a lança que em sua mão tinha.
