Using JSON how to assign multiple images or a better way of doing it suggested?

At the moment I'm using JSON to call words for my games I'm making but I wondering if I could do it with multiple images without a massive length of code for each round. Here is what I got so far but it's complaining about the duplicate "url". Or would I be better of using an array

Thanks

{
"images": [
    {"imageID" : "game1", "url" : "gameImages/img1.jpg", "url" : "gameImages/img2.jpg",
  "url" : "gameImages/img3.jpg", "url" : "gameImages/img4.jpg"  }

    {"imageID" : "game2", "url" : "gameImages/img5.jpg", "url" : "gameImages/img6.jpg",
  "url" : "gameImages/img7.jpg", "url" : "gameImages/img8.jpg"  }
    ]
}

Since it appears you're aware of the use of arrays in JSON already (you have two entries within your images array already), how about storing each set of urls in an array:

{
    "images": [
        {
            "imageID": "game1",
            "urls": [
                "gameImages/img1.jpg",
                "gameImages/img2.jpg",
                "gameImages/img3.jpg",
                "gameImages/img4.jpg"
            ]
        },
        {
            "imageID": "game2",
            "urls": [
                "gameImages/img5.jpg",
                "gameImages/img6.jpg",
                "gameImages/img7.jpg",
                "gameImages/img8.jpg"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
