ANDREW Brown quotes from Joshua's account of his divinely inspired attack on Ai: "And all who fell that day, both men and women, were twelve thousand, all the people of Ai."
As an example of the power of Jehovah, that's nothing. In 2 Kings xix 35 we may read: "And it came to pass that night that the angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses."
