And Joshua sent men from Jericho to (b) Ai, which [is] beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
(b) This was a city of the Amorites: for there was another so called among the Amorites, (Jeremiah 49:3). The first Ai is called Aiah, (Isaiah 10:28).
