Joshua 9:16-21

16And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt in their midst.

17And the children of Israel journeyed, and came to their cities on the third day; and their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim.

18And the children of Israel did not smite them, because the princes of the assembly had sworn unto them by Jehovah the 1God of Israel. Then all the assembly murmured against the princes.

19And all the princes said to all the assembly, We have sworn unto them by Jehovah the 2God of Israel, and now we may not touch them.

20This we will do to them, and let them live, lest wrath come upon us, because of the oath which we swore unto them.

21And the princes said to them, Let them live. And they were hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the assembly; as the princes had said to them.
