Joshua 9
King James Version Help
9And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;H4428H5676H3383H2022H8219H2348H1419H3220H4136H3844H2850H567H3669H6522H2340H2983H8085
2That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.H6908H3162H3898H3091H3478H259H6310
3And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,H3427H1391H8085H3091H6213H3405H5857
4They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;H6213H6195H3212H6737H3947H1087H8242H2543H3196H4997H1087H1234H6887
5And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.H1087H5275H2921H7272H1087H8008H3899H6718H3001H5350
6And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.H3212H3091H4264H1537H559H376H3478H935H7350H776H3772H1285
7And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?H376H3478H559H2340H194H3427H7130H3772H1285
8And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?H559H3091H5650H3091H559H370H935
9And 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,H559H3966H7350H776H5650H935H8034H3068H430H8085H8089H6213H4714
10And 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.H6213H8147H4428H567H5676H3383H5511H4428H2809H5747H4428H1316H6252
11Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.H2205H3427H776H559H559H3947H6720H3027H1870H3212H7125H559H5650H3772H1285
12This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:H3899H2525H6679H1004H3117H3318H3212H3001H5350
13And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.H4997H3196H4390H2319H1234H8008H5275H1086H3966H7230H1870
14And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.H582H3947H6718H7592H6310H3068
15And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.H3091H6213H7965H3772H1285H2421H5387H5712H7650
16And 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.H7097H7969H3117H310H3772H1285H8085H7138H3427H7130
17And 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.H1121H3478H5265H935H5892H7992H3117H5892H1391H3716H881H7157
18And 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.H1121H3478H5221H5387H5712H7650H3068H430H3478H5712H3885H5387
19But 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.H5387H559H5712H7650H3068H430H3478H3201H5060
20This 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.H6213H2421H7110H7621H7650
21And 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.H5387H559H2421H2404H6086H7579H4325H5712H5387H1696
22And 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?H3091H7121H1696H559H7411H559H3966H7350H3427H7130
23Now 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.H779H3772H5650H2404H6086H7579H4325H1004H430
24And 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.H6030H3091H559H5046H5046H5650H3068H430H6680H5650H4872H5414H776H8045H3427H776H6440H3966H3372H5315H6440H6213H1697
25And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.H2009H3027H5869H2896H3477H6213H6213
26And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.H6213H5337H3027H1121H3478H2026
27And 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.H3091H5414H3117H2404H6086H7579H4325H5712H4196H3068H3117H4725H977
