SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:13
Y el pueblo, todo el campamento que estaba al lado del norte, se acercó a la ciudad; y su emboscada al occidente de la ciudad. Y Josué fue aquella noche al medio del valle.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And when they had set the people , etc.] In battle array, as in ( Kings 20:12); that is, Joshua and the officers of the army: [even] all the host that [was] on the north of the city ; where Joshua and the main army were: and the liers in wait on the west of the city : both the first and second ambush; when all, were prepared and got ready by their several officers, to act the part they were to do: Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley ; according to Ben Gersom, to see whether the guards or sentinels which were placed there were awake or asleep, lest the men of Ai should come suddenly upon them and smite them; but perhaps it might be to pray and meditate.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 3-22 - Observe Joshua's conduct and prudence. Those that would maintain their spiritual conflicts must not love their ease. Probably he went into the valley alone, to pray to God for a blessing, and he did not seek in vain. He never drew back till the work was done. Those that have stretched out their hands against their spiritual enemies, must neve draw them back.
