And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
After Israel finished killing all the people of Ai in the fields and wilderness where they chased them, and everyone was killed, all the Israelites went back to Ai and destroyed it with their swords.
