Josua 8:2

Och du skall göra med Ai och dess konung på samma sätt som du gjorde med Jeriko och dess konung; dock mån I behålla rovet därifrån och boskapen, såsom edert byte. Lägg nu ett bakhåll mot staden, på andra sidan därom.»

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst to Jericho and her king,.... Burn the one and slay the other:

only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves; which they were not allowed to do at Jericho:

lay thee an ambush for the city behind it; at the west side of it: some have called in question the lawfulness of the ambush, but, as this was appointed by the Lord, there is no room for it.
