@ 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.
strkjv@Joshua:9:16
@ 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.
strkjv@Joshua:9:17
@ And the
children
of
Israel
journeyed
, and
came
unto their
cities
on the
third
day
. Now their
cities
were
Gibeon
, and
Chephirah
, and
Beeroth
B@, and
Kirjathjearim
Qiryath Y@.
strkjv@Joshua:9:18
@ 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
.
strkjv@Joshua:9:19
@ 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.
strkjv@Joshua:9:20
@ 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.
strkjv@Joshua:9:21
@ 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.
strkjv@Joshua:9:22
@ 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?
strkjv@Joshua:9:23
@ 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
.
strkjv@Joshua:9:24
@ 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
.
strkjv@Joshua:9:25
@ And now, behold,
we
are in thine
hand
: as it
seemeth
good
and
right
unto thee to
do
unto us,
do
.
strkjv@Joshua:9:26
@ And so
did
he unto them, and
delivered
them out of the
hand
of the
children
of
Israel
, that they
slew
them not.
strkjv@Joshua:9:27
@ 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
.
