And it came to pass, when all the kings
H5676
that were beyond
H3383
the Jordan,
H2022
in the hill-country,
H8219
and in the lowland,
H2348
and on all the shore
H1419
of the great
H3220
sea
H4136
in front
H3844
of Lebanon,
H2850
the Hittite,
H567
and the Amorite,
H3669
the Canaanite,
H6522
the Perizzite,
H2340
the Hivite,
H2983
and the Jebusite,
H8085
heard thereof;
2
H6908
that they gathered
H3162
themselves together,
H3898
to fight
H3091
with Joshua
H3478
and with Israel,
H259
with one
H6310
accord.
3
H3427
But when the inhabitants
H1391
of Gibeon
H8085
heard
H3091
what Joshua
H6213
had done
H3405
unto Jericho
H5857
and to Ai,
4
H6213
they also did work
H6195
wilily,
H3212
and went
H6737
and made as if they had been ambassadors,
H3947
and took
H1087
old
H8242
sacks
H2543
upon their asses,
H3196
and wine -
H4997
skins,
H1087
old
H1234
and rent
H6887
and bound up,
5
H1087
and old
H2921
and patched
H5275
shoes
H7272
upon their feet,
H1087
and old
H8008
garments
H3899
upon them; and all the bread
H6718
of their provision
H3001
was dry
H5350
and was become mouldy.
6
H3212
And they went
H3091
to Joshua
H4264
unto the camp
H1537
at Gilgal,
H559
and said
H376
unto him, and to the men
H3478
of Israel,
H935
We are come
H7350
from a far
H776
country:
H3772
now therefore make
H1285
ye a covenant with us.
7
H376
And the men
H3478
of Israel
H559
said
H2340
unto the Hivites,
H194
Peradventure
H3427
ye dwell
H7130
among
H3772
us; and how shall we make
H1285
a covenant with you?
8
H559
And they said
H3091
unto Joshua,
H5650
We are thy servants.
H3091
And Joshua
H559
said
H370
unto them, Who are ye? and from whence
H935
come ye?
9
H559
And they said
H3966
unto him, From a very
H7350
far
H776
country
H5650
thy servants
H935
are come
H8034
because of the name
H3068
of Jehovah
H430
thy God:
H8085
for we have heard
H8089
the fame
H6213
of him, and all that he did
H4714
in Egypt,
10
H6213
and all that he did
H8147
to the two
H4428
kings
H567
of the Amorites,
H5676
that were beyond
H3383
the Jordan,
H5511
to Sihon
H4428
king
H2809
of Heshbon,
H5747
and to Og
H4428
king
H1316
of Bashan,
H6252
who was at Ashtaroth.
11
H2205
And our elders
H3427
and all the inhabitants
H776
of our country
H559
spake
H559
to us, saying,
H3947
Take
H6720
provision
H3027
in your
H1870
hand for the journey,
H3212
and go
H7125
to meet
H559
them, and say
H5650
unto them, We are your servants:
H3772
and now make
H1285
ye a covenant with us.
12
H3899
This our bread
H2525
we took hot
H6679
for our provision
H1004
out of our houses
H3117
on the day
H3318
we came forth
H3212
to go
H3001
unto you; but now, behold, it is dry,
H5350
and is become mouldy:
13
H3196
and these wine -
H4997
skins,
H4390
which we filled,
H2319
were new;
H1234
and, behold, they are rent:
H8008
and these our garments
H5275
and our shoes
H1086
are become old
H3966
by reason of the very
H7230
long
H1870
journey.
14
H582
And the men
H3947
took
H6718
of their provision,
H7592
and asked
H6310
not counsel at the mouth
H3068
of Jehovah.
15
H3091
And Joshua
H6213
made
H7965
peace
H3772
with them, and made
H1285
a covenant
H2421
with them, to let them live:
H5387
and the princes
H5712
of the congregation
H7650
sware unto them.
16
H7097
And it came to pass at the end
H7969
of three
H3117
days
H310
after
H3772
they had made
H1285
a covenant
H8085
with them, that they heard
H7138
that they were their neighbors,
H3427
and that they dwelt
H7130
among them.
17
H1121
And the children
H3478
of Israel
H5265
journeyed,
H935
and came
H5892
unto their cities
H7992
on the third
H3117
day.
H5892
Now their cities
H1391
were Gibeon,
H3716
and Chephirah,
H881
and Beeroth,
H7157
and Kiriath-jearim.
18
H1121
And the children
H3478
of Israel
H5221
smote
H5387
them not, because the princes
H5712
of the congregation
H7650
had sworn
H3068
unto them by Jehovah,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel.
H5712
And all the congregation
H3885
murmured
H5387
against the princes.
19
H5387
But all the princes
H559
said
H5712
unto all the congregation,
H7650
We have sworn
H3068
unto them by Jehovah,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel:
H3201
now therefore we may
H5060
not touch them.
20
H6213
This we will do
H2421
to them, and let them live;
H7110
lest wrath
H7621
be upon us, because of the oath
H7650
which we sware unto them.
21
H5387
And the princes
H559
said
H2421
unto them, Let them live:
H2404
so they became hewers
H6086
of wood
H7579
and drawers
H4325
of water
H5712
unto all the congregation,
H5387
as the princes
H1696
had spoken unto them.
22
H3091
And Joshua
H7121
called
H1696
for them, and he spake
H559
unto them, saying,
H7411
Wherefore have ye beguiled
H559
us, saying,
H3966
We are very
H7350
far
H3427
from you; when ye dwell
H7130
among us?
23
H779
Now therefore ye are cursed,
H3772
and there shall never fail
H5650
to be of you bondmen,
H2404
both hewers
H6086
of wood
H7579
and drawers
H4325
of water
H1004
for the house
H430
of my God.
24
H6030
And they answered
H3091
Joshua,
H559
and said,
H5046
Because it was certainly
H5046
told
H5650
thy servants,
H3068
how that Jehovah
H430
thy God
H6680
commanded
H5650
his servant
H4872
Moses
H5414
to give
H776
you all the land,
H8045
and to destroy
H3427
all the inhabitants
H776
of the land
H6440
from before
H3966
you; therefore we were sore
H3372
afraid
H5315
for our lives
H6440
because
H6213
of you, and have done
H1697
this thing.
25
H2009
And now, behold, we
H3027
are in thy hand:
H5869
as it seemeth
H2896
good
H3477
and right
H6213
unto thee to do
H6213
unto us, do.
