* And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men : for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim , and smote them in the going down : wherefore the hearts of the people melted , and became as water . * And Joshua rent his clothes , and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide , he and the elders of Israel Yisra #el #, and put dust upon their heads ro #sh #. * And Joshua said , Alas , O Lord GOD , wherefore hast thou at all broughtthis people over Jordan , to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites , to destroy us ? would to God we had been content , and dwelt on the other side Jordan ! * O Lord , what shall I say , when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies !
