4 And he went on to command them, saying: “See, YOU are lying in ambush+ against the city to the rear of the city. Do not go very far away from the city, and YOU must all of YOU hold yourselves in readiness.

12 In the meantime he took about five thousand men and set them as an ambush+ between Bethʹel+ and Aʹi, to the west of the city.

29 Then Israel set men in ambush+ against Gibʹe·ah all around.

37 As for the ambush, they acted quickly and went dashing toward Gibʹe·ah.+ Then the ambush+ spread out and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.+
