Joshua 9:3-9

3When the residents of Gibeon heard what Joshua did to Jericho and Ai,

4they did something clever. They collected some provisions and put worn-out sacks on their donkeys, along with worn-out wineskins that were ripped and patched.

5They had worn-out, patched sandals on their feet and dressed in worn-out clothes. All their bread was dry and hard.

6They came to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal and said to him and the men of Israel, “We have come from a distant land. Make a treaty with us.”

7The men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you live near us. So how can we make a treaty with you?”

8But they said to Joshua, “We are willing to be your subjects.” So Joshua said to them, “Who are you and where do you come from?”

9They told him, “Your subjects have come from a very distant land because of the reputation of the Lord your God, for we have heard the news about all he did in Egypt
