Joshua 9:14-23 And the chiefs took of their provision, and asked not counsel of the Lord.

LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ And the chiefs took of their provision, and asked not [counsel of] the Lord. ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and they made a covenant with them to preserve them; and the princes of the congregation sware to them. ¹⁶ And it came to pass three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were near neighbors, and that they lived among them. ¹⁷ And the children of Israel departed and came to their cities; and their cities [were] Gabaon, and Kephira, and Berot, and the cities of Jarin. ¹⁸ Land the children of Israel fought not with them, because all the princes sware to them by the Lord God of Israel; and all the congregation murmured at the princes. ¹⁹ And the princes said to all the congregation: We have sworn to them by the Lord God of Israel, and now we shall not be able to touch them. ²⁰ This we will do; take them alive, and we will preserve them: so there shall not be wrath against us by reason of the oath which we swore to them. ²¹ They shall live, and shall be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the princes said to them. ²² And Joshua called them together and said to them, Why have you⌃ deceived me, saying, We live very far from you; whereas you⌃ are fellow-countrymen of those who dwell among us? ²³ And now you⌃ are cursed: there shall not fail of you a slave, or a hewer of wood, or a drawer of water to me and my God.
