“So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.”
King James Version (KJV)
7:4 They fled - Not having courage to strike a stroke, which was a plain evidence that God had forsaken then; and an useful instruction, to shew them what they were when God left them: and that it was God, not their own valour, that gave the Canaanites into their hands.
So there went vp thither of the people about three thousand men, and they fled before the men of Ai.
