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}

But the kingH4428 sparedH2550 MephiboshethH4648, the sonH1121 of JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, because of the LORD'SH3068 oathH7621 that was between them, between DavidH1732 and JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586.
In whose eyesH5869 a vile personH3988 is contemnedH959; but he honourethH3513 them that fearH3373 the LORDH3068. He that swearethH7650 to his own hurtH7489, and changethH4171 not.
Be not rashH926 with thy mouthH6310, and let not thine heartH3820 be hastyH4116 to utterH3318 any thingH1697 beforeH6440 GodH430: for GodH430 is in heavenH8064, and thou upon earthH776: therefore let thy wordsH1697 be fewH4592. {thing: or, word}
SufferH5414 not thy mouthH6310 to cause thy fleshH1320 to sinH2398; neither sayH559 thou beforeH6440 the angelH4397, that it was an errorH7684: wherefore should GodH430 be angryH7107 at thy voiceH6963, and destroyH2254 the workH4639 of thine handsH3027?
All things come alike to all: there is oneH259 eventH4745 to the righteousH6662, and to the wickedH7563; to the goodH2896 and to the cleanH2889, and to the uncleanH2931; to him that sacrificethH2076, and to him thatH834 sacrificethH2076 not: as is the goodH2896, so is the sinnerH2398; and he that swearethH7650, as he that fearethH3373 an oathH7621.
