Achan's theft leads to Israel's initial defeat at Ai and God's subsequent anger. Joshua's plea to the Lord reveals Israel's sin, leading to Achan's confession and punishment. The Israelites then follow the Lord's command to purify themselves and prepare for another battle against Ai. Joshua's strategic ambush results in a decisive victory, fulfilling God's promise to deliver Ai into their hands, and the complete destruction of Ai's population.
