battle of ai by leah paster

• Hashem gives B’nei Yisrael Israel • Ai are in their way • Yehoshua thinks of a way to conquer• But how?

Yehoshua sent meraglim to Ai to check if they were ready to fight. When the meraglim came back they said there were only

a few people living there so send a tiny army to fight.

We need to conquer

Ai

Yehoshua sent 3000 men to fight Ai and 36 men died.

The B’nei Yisrael didn’t know why they had been defeated.

Hashem told them that something had been stolen from Yericho.

A man called Achan had stolen something very valuable and lots of gold and silver and he hid it all

under his tent.

This This gonna gonna

be be tough!!!tough!!!

Achan was killed because he stole the gold and silver and the very valuable thing.

achan

A clever plan came into Yehoshua’s mind. He would send a small army to fight Ai and the king would chase them away

and Yehoshua would get a thirty thousand men army to stay with him.

Yehoshua took his small army to attack the city of Ai.

We have got to attack

The small army of Yehoshua ran away from the king of Ai so it was unprotected.

Yehoshua raised the javelin as the sign to burn down the city.

Yehoshua had won the battle of Ai and had conquered it.

The end

Bye bye
