Joshua 9:15-20 And Joshua made peace with them, and cut a covenant with them, to keep them alive. And the leaders of the congregation swore to them.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and cut a covenant with them, to keep them alive. And the leaders of the congregation swore to them. ¹⁶ And at the end of three days they had cut a covenant with them. And it happened that they heard that they were their neighbors, and they were living in their midst. ¹⁷ And the sons of Israel pulled up and came to their cities on the third day. And their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim. ¹⁸ And the sons of Israel did not strike them, for the leaders of the congregation swore to them by Jehovah the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the leaders. ¹⁹ And all the leaders said to all the congregation, We have sworn to them by Jehovah the God of Israel; and now we cannot touch them. ²⁰ We shall do this to them, and shall keep them alive, and wrath shall not be on us because of the oath which we have sworn to them.
