Joshua 8:14 WEB

¹²  He took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

¹³  So they set the people, even all the host who was on the north of the city, and their liers-in-wait who were on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

¹⁴  It happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hurried and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he didn't know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

¹⁵  Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.

¹⁶  All the people who were in the city were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
