OET (OET-RV) When the king of Ay saw the Israelis, he hurriedly got his men ready, and went out early to meet Israel for the battle. The king and his people went to a prepared spot overlooking the Yordan valley, but he didn’t know that another group lay in ambush behind the city.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
כִּרְא֣וֹת מֶֽלֶךְ־ הָעַ֗י
when,saw king the,Ai
The author does not say specifically what the king of Ai saw. This could mean: (1) that the king saw Joshua. The author has just said that Joshua went and spent the night in the valley near Ai, and the king may have seen him in the morning and concluded that this was the main force of the Israelite army and that he could attack and destroy it. Alternate translation: “as soon as the king of Ai saw Joshua” (2) that the king saw that the Israelite army north of the city. This could be a more general reference to the king seeing that the Israelites had set up their main camp to the north of the city. Alternate translation: “as soon as the king saw the Israelite army”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
וַֽיְמַהֲר֡וּ וַיַּשְׁכִּ֡ימוּ
and,hurried and,early_in_the_morning
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word hurried tells in what way the men of the city got up early. Alternate translation: “Then … quickly got up early”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עַמּ֛וֹ
people,his
As in 6:5, the term people refers to soldiers. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “and all of his soldiers” or “and his whole army”
8:14 The king of Ai . . . and all his army were recklessly eager to repeat their heroics of the previous battle. As Joshua and Israel had learned, such overconfidence is dangerous.
