你要记念耶和华你的神，因为得货财的力量是他给你的，为要坚定他向你列祖起誓所立的约，像今日一样。
But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
你怎样待耶利哥和耶利哥的王，也当照样待艾城和艾城的王。只是城内所夺的财物和牲畜，你们可以取为自己的掠物。你要在城后设下伏兵。
And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.
于是，约书亚和一切兵丁都起来，要上艾城去。约书亚选了三万大能的勇士，夜间打发他们前往，
So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night.
你们夺了城以后，就放火烧城，要照耶和华的话行。这是我吩咐你们的。
And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
约书亚打发他们前往，他们就上埋伏的地方去，住在伯特利和艾城的中间，就是在艾城的西边。这夜约书亚却在民中住宿。
Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
他挑了约有五千人，使他们埋伏在伯特利和艾城的中间，就是在艾城的西边，
And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
艾城的王看见这景况，就和全城的人，清早急忙起来，按所定的时候，出到亚拉巴前，要与以色列人交战。王却不知道在城后有伏兵。
And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.
约阿施的儿子基甸由希列斯坡从阵上回来，
And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,
于是捉住那城内的长老，用野地的荆条和枳棘责打（原文作指教）疏割人。
And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
他的妾住在示剑，也给他生了一个儿子。基甸与他起名叫亚比米勒。
And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
