Summary
I had so much fun recording this episode! It's a new story for me which is always enjoyable. The story takes place right after the fall of Jericho (the episode titled "Rahab and the Scarlet Rope"). Joshua and the Israelites are up against Ai. (If I'm pronouncing Ai wrong, I sincerely apologize! It was the one I found when I searched that seemed the most accurate.) Someone is disobedient. And the Gibeonites are scared to death of the Israelites so they take drastic measures.
We are reading Joshua 7 through 9 (NIV).
