Joshua 7:2-5

2Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near 1Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them, “2Go up and spy out the land.” So the men went up and spied out Ai. 3Then they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not have all the people go up; have only about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai; do not trouble all the people there, for they are few.” 4So about three thousand men from the people went up there, but 3they fled 4from the men of Ai. 5And the men of Ai struck and killed about thirty-six of their men, and pursued them 5from the gate as far as Shebarim and struck them on the mountainside; and the 6hearts of the people melted and became like water.
