Joshua 9:24-25

24The Gibeonites said to Joshua, ‘We heard about the command that the Lord your God had given to his servant, Moses. We know that he told Moses to take the whole of our land for you to live in. We know that you must kill all the people who live there now. Because of that, we were very afraid that you would kill us. That is why we did what we did.

25Now we are under your power. You must decide what to do with us. Do whatever you think is right and good.’
