15. But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.
16. But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,
17. And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,
18. The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.
19. And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it on fire.
