1

And it came to pass, when all the kings [4428] which [were] on this side [5676] Jordan, [3383] in the hills, [2022] and in the valleys, [8219] and in all the coasts [2348] of the great [1419] sea [3220] over against [4136] Lebanon, [3844] the Hittite, [2850] and the Amorite, [0567] the Canaanite, [3669] the Perizzite, [6522] the Hivite, [2340] and the Jebusite, [2983] heard [8085] [thereof];

2

That they gathered [6908] themselves together, [3162] to fight [3898] with Joshua [3091] and with Israel, [3478] with one [0259] accord. [6310]

3

And when the inhabitants [3427] of Gibeon [1391] heard [8085] what Joshua [3091] had done [6213] unto Jericho [3405] and to Ai, [5857]

4

They did work [6213] wilily, [6195] and went [3212] and made as if they had been ambassadors, [6737] and took [3947] old [1087] sacks [8242] upon their asses, [2543] and wine [3196] bottles, [4997] old, [1087] and rent, [1234] and bound up; [6887]

5

And old [1087] shoes [5275] and clouted [2921] upon their feet, [7272] and old [1087] garments [8008] upon them; and all the bread [3899] of their provision [6718] was dry [3001] [and] mouldy. [5350]

6

And they went [3212] to Joshua [3091] unto the camp [4264] at Gilgal, [1537] and said [0559] unto him, and to the men [0376] of Israel, [3478] We be come [0935] from a far [7350] country: [0776] now therefore make [3772] ye a league [1285] with us.

7

And the men [0376] of Israel [3478] said [0559] unto the Hivites, [2340] Peradventure [0194] ye dwell [3427] among [7130] us; and how shall we make [3772] a league [1285] with you?

8

And they said [0559] unto Joshua, [3091] We [are] thy servants. [5650] And Joshua [3091] said [0559] unto them, Who [are] ye? and from whence [0370] come [0935] ye?

9

And they said [0559] unto him, From a very [3966] far [7350] country [0776] thy servants [5650] are come [0935] because of the name [8034] of the LORD [3068] thy God: [0430] for we have heard [8085] the fame [8089] of him, and all that he did [6213] in Egypt, [4714]

10

And all that he did [6213] to the two [8147] kings [4428] of the Amorites, [0567] that [were] beyond [5676] Jordan, [3383] to Sihon [5511] king [4428] of Heshbon, [2809] and to Og [5747] king [4428] of Bashan, [1316] which [was] at Ashtaroth. [6252]

11

Wherefore our elders [2205] and all the inhabitants [3427] of our country [0776] spake [0559] to us, saying, [0559] Take [3947] victuals [6720] with you [3027] for the journey, [1870] and go [3212] to meet [7125] them, and say [0559] unto them, We [are] your servants: [5650] therefore now make [3772] ye a league [1285] with us.

12

This our bread [3899] we took hot [2525] [for] our provision [6679] out of our houses [1004] on the day [3117] we came forth [3318] to go [3212] unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, [3001] and it is mouldy: [5350]

13

And these bottles [4997] of wine, [3196] which we filled, [4390] [were] new; [2319] and, behold, they be rent: [1234] and these our garments [8008] and our shoes [5275] are become old [1086] by reason of the very [3966] long [7230] journey. [1870]

14

And the men [0582] took [3947] of their victuals, [6718] and asked [7592] not [counsel] at the mouth [6310] of the LORD. [3068]

15

And Joshua [3091] made [6213] peace [7965] with them, and made [3772] a league [1285] with them, to let them live: [2421] and the princes [5387] of the congregation [5712] sware [7650] unto them.

16

And it came to pass at the end [7097] of three [7969] days [3117] after [0310] they had made [3772] a league [1285] with them, that they heard [8085] that they [were] their neighbours, [7138] and [that] they dwelt [3427] among [7130] them.

17

And the children [1121] of Israel [3478] journeyed, [5265] and came [0935] unto their cities [5892] on the third [7992] day. [3117] Now their cities [5892] [were] Gibeon, [1391] and Chephirah, [3716] and Beeroth, [0881] and Kirjathjearim. [7157]

18

And the children [1121] of Israel [3478] smote [5221] them not, because the princes [5387] of the congregation [5712] had sworn [7650] unto them by the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel. [3478] And all the congregation [5712] murmured [3885] against the princes. [5387]

19

But all the princes [5387] said [0559] unto all the congregation, [5712] We have sworn [7650] unto them by the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel: [3478] now therefore we may [3201] not touch [5060] them.

20

This we will do [6213] to them; we will even let them live, [2421] lest wrath [7110] be upon us, because of the oath [7621] which we sware [7650] unto them.

21

And the princes [5387] said [0559] unto them, Let them live; [2421] but let them be hewers [2404] of wood [6086] and drawers [7579] of water [4325] unto all the congregation; [5712] as the princes [5387] had promised [1696] them.

22

And Joshua [3091] called [7121] for them, and he spake [1696] unto them, saying, [0559] Wherefore have ye beguiled [7411] us, saying, [0559] We [are] very [3966] far [7350] from you; when ye dwell [3427] among [7130] us?

23

Now therefore ye [are] cursed, [0779] and there shall none of you be freed [3772] from being bondmen, [5650] and hewers [2404] of wood [6086] and drawers [7579] of water [4325] for the house [1004] of my God. [0430]

24

And they answered [6030] Joshua, [3091] and said, [0559] Because it was certainly [5046] told [5046] thy servants, [5650] how that the LORD [3068] thy God [0430] commanded [6680] his servant [5650] Moses [4872] to give [5414] you all the land, [0776] and to destroy [8045] all the inhabitants [3427] of the land [0776] from before [6440] you, therefore we were sore [3966] afraid [3372] of our lives [5315] because [6440] of you, and have done [6213] this thing. [1697]

25

And now, behold, we [2009] [are] in thine hand: [3027] as it seemeth [5869] good [2896] and right [3477] unto thee to do [6213] unto us, do. [6213]

26

And so did [6213] he unto them, and delivered [5337] them out of the hand [3027] of the children [1121] of Israel, [3478] that they slew [2026] them not.

27

And Joshua [3091] made [5414] them that day [3117] hewers [2404] of wood [6086] and drawers [7579] of water [4325] for the congregation, [5712] and for the altar [4196] of the LORD, [3068] even unto this day, [3117] in the place [4725] which he should choose. [0977]
