約書亞和以色列人在他們面前裝敗，沿著通往曠野的路逃跑。城裡的眾民都被召集，去追趕他們；艾城的人追趕約書亞的時候，就都被誘離城。艾城和伯特利城沒有留下一個人不出來追趕以色列人；他們撇下了敞開的城門，去追趕以色列人。耶和華對約書亞說：“你向著艾城伸出你手中的短槍，因為我要把城交在你手裡。”約書亞就向著艾城伸出他手裡的短槍。他一伸手，伏兵就從埋伏的地方急忙起來，衝進城去，把城奪取，並連忙放火燒城。艾城的人轉身觀看，看見城裡濃煙沖天，就全身乏力，不能逃跑；往曠野逃跑的以色列人就轉過來攻擊追趕他們的人。約書亞和以色列人看見伏兵已經奪取了城，又看見城中濃煙上升，就轉回，擊殺艾城的人。伏兵也出城攻擊艾城的人；艾城的人就被困在以色列人中間，前後受敵；於是以色列人把他們擊殺，沒有留下一個，也沒有一個逃脫。他們活捉了艾城的王，把他解到約書亞那裡。以色列人在田間、在曠野，殺盡了所有追趕他們的艾城的居民，艾城的人全部倒在刀下，直到完全消滅；接著，以色列眾人回到艾城，用刀擊殺了城中的人。那一天被殺的人，連男帶女，共有一萬二千人，就是艾城所有的人。約書亞沒有收回伸出短槍的手，直到把艾城的居民都消滅為止。只有那城裡的牲畜和戰利品，以色列人照著耶和華吩咐約書亞的話，都據為己有。約書亞燒了艾城，使城永遠成為廢堆，一片荒涼，直到今日。他又把艾城的王懸在樹上，直到黃昏的時候；日落的時候，約書亞吩咐人把屍體從樹上拿下來，丟在城門口那裡，又在屍體上堆起了一大堆石頭，這堆石頭一直存到今日。
