John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Read in KJV Bible Reader

And when Joshua,.... Or "for Joshua" (z):

and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city; which they knew by the smoke, as follows:

and that the smoke of the city ascended; in large columns, which sufficiently indicated that the whole city was taken and fired by the ambush:

then, or, "and",

they turned again and slew the men of Ai; great numbers of them.
