 * a man.

 * Bethel.
   Bethel is not mentioned in the Greek version, and some, with
   Houbigant and Pilkington, think it was not originally in the
   Hebrew; because, had the men of Bethel pursued, as well as
   those of Ai, it would have been said that they left the
   cities, and not the city, open.  The principal strength of
   Bethel might have been previously taken into Ai, as the
   strongest place to make a stand in; Bethel being but about
   three miles westward from Ai.
