Bible Location
Meaning: or Hai · 1 cross reference · Modern-day map available
This Ai entry refers to a location in Ammonite territory, not the better-known Canaanite city east of Bethel conquered by Joshua. It is important because it preserves a distinct later place reference under the same short name. First appears in Jer 49:3.1
AI summary: The main biblical Ai is remembered for Joshua's defeat and later victory, but this record points instead to an Ammonite setting in prophetic material. Its significance therefore lies in distinction: the same short name can refer to a different place and context entirely. Rather than conquest in the central hill country, this entry belongs to the language of judgment and regional reference east of the Jordan. The cross references present this Ai as a separate location in prophetic geography, not as the earlier Canaanite city.1
