And it came to pass, when all the kingsH4428 which were on this sideH5676 JordanH3383, in the hillsH2022, and in the valleysH8219, and in all the coastsH2348 of the greatH1419 seaH3220 over againstH4136 LebanonH3844, the HittiteH2850, and the AmoriteH567, the CanaaniteH3669, the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983, heardH8085 thereof;
That they gatheredH6908 themselves togetherH3162, to fightH3898 with JoshuaH3091 and with IsraelH3478, with oneH259 accordH6310. {accord: Heb. mouth}
And when the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391 heardH8085 what JoshuaH3091 had doneH6213 unto JerichoH3405 and to AiH5857,
They did workH6213 wililyH6195, and wentH3212 and made as if they had been ambassadorsH6737, and tookH3947 oldH1087 sacksH8242 upon their assesH2543, and wineH3196 bottlesH4997, oldH1087, and rentH1234, and bound upH6887;
And oldH1087 shoesH5275 and cloutedH2921 upon their feetH7272, and oldH1087 garmentsH8008 upon them; and all the breadH3899 of their provisionH6718 was dryH3001 and mouldyH5350.
And they wentH3212 to JoshuaH3091 unto the campH4264 at GilgalH1537, and saidH559 unto him, and to the menH376 of IsraelH3478, We be comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776: now therefore makeH3772 ye a leagueH1285 with us.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto the HivitesH2340, PeradventureH194 ye dwellH3427 amongH7130 us; and how shall we makeH3772 a leagueH1285 with you?
And they saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, We are thy servantsH5650. And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, Who are ye? and from whenceH370 comeH935 ye?
And they saidH559 unto him, From a veryH3966 farH7350 countryH776 thy servantsH5650 are comeH935 because of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: for we have heardH8085 the fameH8089 of him, and all that he didH6213 in EgyptH4714,
And all that he didH6213 to the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, that were beyondH5676 JordanH3383, to SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and to OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, which was at AshtarothH6252.
Wherefore our eldersH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of our countryH776 spakeH559 to us, sayingH559, TakeH3947 victualsH6720 with youH3027 for the journeyH1870, and goH3212 to meetH7125 them, and sayH559 unto them, We are your servantsH5650: therefore now makeH3772 ye a leagueH1285 with us. {with you: Heb. in your hand}
This our breadH3899 we took hotH2525 for our provisionH6679 out of our housesH1004 on the dayH3117 we came forthH3318 to goH3212 unto you; but now, behold, it is dryH3001, and it is mouldyH5350:
And these bottlesH4997 of wineH3196, which we filledH4390, were newH2319; and, behold, they be rentH1234: and these our garmentsH8008 and our shoesH5275 are become oldH1086 by reason of the veryH3966 longH7230 journeyH1870.
And the menH582 tookH3947 of their victualsH6718, and askedH7592 not counsel at the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068. {the men…: or, they received the men by reason of their victuals}
And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 peaceH7965 with them, and madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them, to let them liveH2421: and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 swareH7650 unto them.
And it came to pass at the endH7097 of threeH7969 daysH3117 afterH310 they had madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them, that they heardH8085 that they were their neighboursH7138, and that they dweltH3427 amongH7130 them.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265, and cameH935 unto their citiesH5892 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117. Now their citiesH5892 were GibeonH1391, and ChephirahH3716, and BeerothH881, and KirjathjearimH7157.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 them not, because the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 had swornH7650 unto them by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. And all the congregationH5712 murmuredH3885 against the princesH5387.
But all the princesH5387 saidH559 unto all the congregationH5712, We have swornH7650 unto them by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478: now therefore we mayH3201 not touchH5060 them.
This we will doH6213 to them; we will even let them liveH2421, lest wrathH7110 be upon us, because of the oathH7621 which we swareH7650 unto them.
And the princesH5387 saidH559 unto them, Let them liveH2421; but let them be hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 unto all the congregationH5712; as the princesH5387 had promisedH1696 them.
And JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for them, and he spakeH1696 unto them, sayingH559, Wherefore have ye beguiledH7411 us, sayingH559, We are veryH3966 farH7350 from you; when ye dwellH3427 amongH7130 us?
Now therefore ye are cursedH779, and there shall none of you be freedH3772 from being bondmenH5650, and hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430. {none…: Heb. not be cut off from you}
And they answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091, and saidH559, Because it was certainlyH5046 toldH5046 thy servantsH5650, how that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 commandedH6680 his servantH5650 MosesH4872 to giveH5414 you all the landH776, and to destroyH8045 all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 from beforeH6440 you, therefore we were soreH3966 afraidH3372 of our livesH5315 becauseH6440 of you, and have doneH6213 this thingH1697.
And now, behold, weH2009 are in thine handH3027: as it seemethH5869 goodH2896 and rightH3477 unto thee to doH6213 unto us, doH6213.
And so didH6213 he unto them, and deliveredH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they slewH2026 them not.
And JoshuaH3091 madeH5414 them that dayH3117 hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 for the congregationH5712, and for the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, even unto this dayH3117, in the placeH4725 which he should chooseH977. {made: Heb. gave, or, delivered to be}

And IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 him with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and possessedH3423 his landH776 from ArnonH769 unto JabbokH2999, even unto the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983: for the borderH1366 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 was strongH5794.
And IsraelH3478 tookH3947 all these citiesH5892: and IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in all the citiesH5892 of the AmoritesH567, in HeshbonH2809, and in all the villagesH1323 thereof. {villages: Heb. daughters}
For HeshbonH2809 was the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, who had foughtH3898 against the formerH7223 kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and takenH3947 all his landH776 out of his handH3027, even unto ArnonH769.
Wherefore they that speak in proverbsH4911 sayH559, ComeH935 into HeshbonH2809, let the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 be builtH1129 and preparedH3559:
For there is a fireH784 gone outH3318 of HeshbonH2809, a flameH3852 from the cityH7151 of SihonH5511: it hath consumedH398 ArH6144 of MoabH4124, and the lords of the high placesH1181 of ArnonH769.
WoeH188 to thee, MoabH4124! thou art undoneH6, O peopleH5971 of ChemoshH3645: he hath givenH5414 his sonsH1121 that escapedH6412, and his daughtersH1323, into captivityH7622 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567.
We have shotH3384 at them; HeshbonH2809 is perishedH6 even unto DibonH1769, and we have laid them wasteH8074 even unto NophahH5302, which reacheth unto MedebaH4311.
Thus IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in the landH776 of the AmoritesH567.
And MosesH4872 sentH7971 to spy outH7270 JaazerH3270, and they tookH3920 the villagesH1323 thereof, and drove outH3423+H3423 the AmoritesH567 that were there.
And they turnedH6437 and went upH5927 by the wayH1870 of BashanH1316: and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316 went outH3318 againstH7125 them, he, and all his peopleH5971, to the battleH4421 at EdreiH154.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, FearH3372 him not: for I have deliveredH5414 him into thy handH3027, and all his peopleH5971, and his landH776; and thou shalt doH6213 to him as thou didstH6213 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which dweltH3427 at HeshbonH2809.
So they smoteH5221 him, and his sonsH1121, and all his peopleH5971, until there was noneH1115 leftH7604 him aliveH8300: and they possessedH3423 his landH776.
And the coastH1366 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, which was of the remnantH3499 of the giantsH7497, that dweltH3427 at AshtarothH6252 and at EdreiH154,
But SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809 wouldH14 not let us passH5674 by him: for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hardenedH7185 his spiritH7307, and made his heartH3824 obstinateH553, that he might deliverH5414 him into thy handH3027, as appeareth this dayH3117.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, BeholdH7200, I have begunH2490 to giveH5414 SihonH5511 and his landH776 beforeH6440 thee: beginH2490 to possessH3423, that thou mayest inheritH3423 his landH776.
Then SihonH5511 came outH3318 againstH7125 us, he and all his peopleH5971, to fightH4421 at JahazH3096.
And the LORDH3068 our GodH430 deliveredH5414 him beforeH6440 us; and we smoteH5221 him, and his sonsH1121, and all his peopleH5971.
And we tookH3920 all his citiesH5892 at that timeH6256, and utterly destroyedH2763 the menH4962, and the womenH802, and the little onesH2945, of every cityH5892, we leftH7604 none to remainH8300: {the men…: Heb. every city of men, and women, and little ones}
Only the cattleH929 we took for a preyH962 unto ourselves, and the spoilH7998 of the citiesH5892 which we tookH3920.
From AroerH6177, which is by the brinkH8193 of the riverH5158 of ArnonH769, and from the cityH5892 that is by the riverH5158, even unto GileadH1568, there was not one cityH7151 too strongH7682 for us: the LORDH3068 our GodH430 deliveredH5414 all unto usH6440:
Only unto the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 thou camestH7126 not, nor unto any placeH3027 of the riverH5158 JabbokH2999, nor unto the citiesH5892 in the mountainsH2022, nor unto whatsoever the LORDH3068 our GodH430 forbadH6680 us.
AfterH310 he had slainH5221 SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which dweltH3427 in HeshbonH2809, and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316, which dweltH3427 at AstarothH6252 in EdreiH154:
Then we turnedH6437, and went upH5927 the wayH1870 to BashanH1316: and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316 came outH3318 againstH7125 us, he and all his peopleH5971, to battleH4421 at EdreiH154.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, FearH3372 him not: for I will deliverH5414 him, and all his peopleH5971, and his landH776, into thy handH3027; and thou shalt doH6213 unto him as thou didstH6213 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which dweltH3427 at HeshbonH2809.
So the LORDH3068 our GodH430 deliveredH5414 into our handsH3027 OgH5747 also, the kingH4428 of BashanH1316, and all his peopleH5971: and we smoteH5221 him until none was leftH7604 to him remainingH8300.
And we tookH3920 all his citiesH5892 at that timeH6256, there was not a cityH7151 which we tookH3947 not from them, threescoreH8346 citiesH5892, all the regionH2256 of ArgobH709, the kingdomH4467 of OgH5747 in BashanH1316.
All these citiesH5892 were fencedH1219 with highH1364 wallsH2346, gatesH1817, and barsH1280; beside unwalledH6521 townsH5892 a greatH3966 manyH7235.
And we utterly destroyedH2763 them, as we didH6213 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, utterly destroyingH2763 the menH4962, womenH802, and childrenH2945, of every cityH5892.
But all the cattleH929, and the spoilH7998 of the citiesH5892, we took for a preyH962 to ourselves.
