sea
over against
Lebanon,
the Hittite,
and the Amorite,
the Canaanite,
the Perizzite,
the Hivite,
and the Jebusite,
heard
thereof;

And they went

We be come

now therefore make

And they said
unto Joshua,
We are thy servants.
And Joshua
said
unto them, Who are ye? and from whence
come
ye?
And they said
unto him, From a very
far
country
thy servants
are come
because of the name
of the LORD
thy God:
for we have heard
the fame
of him, and all that he did
in Egypt,
say
And all that he did
to the two
kings
of the Amorites,
that were beyond
Jordan,
to Sihon
king
of Heshbon,
and to Og
king
of Bashan,
which was at Ashtaroth.

Wherefore our elders
and all the inhabitants
of our country
spake
to us, saying,
Take
victuals

for the journey,
and go
to meet
them, and say
unto them, We are your servants:
therefore now make
ye a league

And the men
took
of their victuals,
and asked
not counsel at the mouth
of the LORD.
And Joshua
made
peace
with them, and made
a league
with them, to let them live:
and the princes
of the congregation
sware
unto them.
And it came to pass at the end
of three
days
after
they had made
a league
with them, that they heard
that they were their neighbours,
and that they dwelt
among
them.

And the children
of Israel
journeyed,
and came
unto their cities
on the third
day.
Now their cities
were Gibeon,
and Chephirah,
and Beeroth,
and Kirjathjearim.
And the children
of Israel
smote
them not, because the princes
of the congregation
had sworn
unto them by the LORD
God
of Israel.
And all the congregation
murmured
against the princes.
But all the princes
said
unto all the congregation,
We have sworn
unto them by the LORD
God
of Israel:
now therefore we may
not touch
them.
This we will do
to them; we will even let them live,
lest wrath
be upon us, because of the oath
which we sware
unto them.
And the princes
said
unto them, Let them live;
but let them be hewers
of wood
and drawers
of water
unto all the congregation;
as the princes
had promised
them.
And Joshua
called
for them, and he spake
unto them, saying,
Wherefore have ye beguiled
us, saying,
We are very
far
from you; when ye dwell
among
us?
say
territorial

Now therefore ye are cursed,
and there shall none of you be freed
from being bondmen,
and hewers
of wood
and drawers
of water
for the house
of my God.
And they answered
Joshua,
and said,
Because it was certainly
told
thy servants,
how that the LORD
thy God
commanded
his servant
Moses
to give
you all the land,
and to destroy
all the inhabitants
of the land
from before
you, therefore we were sore
afraid
of our lives
because
of you, and have done
this thing.
And now, behold, we
are in thine hand:
as it seemeth
good
and right
unto thee to do
unto us, do.
And so did
he unto them, and delivered
them out of the hand
of the children
of Israel,
that they slew
them not.
And Joshua
made
them that day
hewers
of wood
and drawers
of water
for the congregation,
and for the altar
of the LORD,
even unto this day,
in the place
which he should choose.
