Ambush [1]
am´boosh ( ארב , 'ārabh , "to set an ambush"; מארב , mā'ărābh , "an ambush"): A military stratagem in which a body of men are placed in concealment to surprise an enemy unawares, or to attack a point when temporarily undefended. This stratagem was employed successfully by Joshua at Ai (Josh 8). Jeremiah calls upon the Medes to "set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes" ( Jeremiah 51:12 ).
