Joshua 9:9-15

9And they said to him, From a very far country are thy servants come, because of the name of Jehovah thy 1God; for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,

10and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon the king of Heshbon, and to Og the king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.

11And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, Take victuals in your hand for the way, and go to meet them, and say to them, We are your servants, and now make a covenant with us.

12This our bread we took warm for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; and now, behold, it is dry, and is become mouldy.

13And these flasks of wine which we filled new, behold, they are rent; and these our garments and our sandals are become old by reason of the very long journey.

14And the men took of their victuals, but they did not inquire at the mouth of Jehovah.

15And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the princes of the assembly swore unto them.
