Joshua 9

1 The kings combine against Israel. 3 The Gibeonites by craft obtain a league. 22 For which they are condemned to perpetual bondage.

 9:1 ¶ And it came to pass, x1961 when all x3605 the kings 4428 which x834 [were] on this side 5676 Jordan, 3383 in the hills, 2022 and in the valleys, 8219 and in all x3605 the coasts 2348 of the great 1419 sea 3220 over x413 against 4136 Lebanon, 3844 the Hittite, 2850 and the Amorite, 567 the Canaanite, 3669 the Perizzite, 6522 the Hivite, 2340 and the Jebusite, 2983 heard 8085 z8800 [thereof];

 9:2 That they gathered y6908 z8691 themselves x6908 together, 3162 to fight 3898 z8736 with x5973 Joshua 3091 and with x5973 Israel, 3478 with one 259 accord. 6310

 9:3 ¶ And when the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Gibeon 1391 heard 8085 z8804 x853 what x834 Joshua 3091 had done 6213 z8804 unto Jericho 3405 and to Ai, 5857

 9:4 They x1992 did work 6213 z8799 wilily, 6195 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 and made as if they had been ambassadors, 6737 z8691 and took 3947 z8799 old 1087 sacks 8242 upon their asses, 2543 and wine 3196 bottles, 4997 old, 1087 and rent, 1234 z8794 and bound up; 6887 z8794

 9:5 And old 1087 shoes 5275 and clouted 2921 z8794 upon their feet, 7272 and old 1087 garments 8008 upon x5921 them; and all x3605 the bread 3899 of their provision 6718 was dry 3001 z8804 [and] moldy. 5350

 9:6 And they went y3212 z8799 x1980 to x413 Joshua 3091 unto x413 the camp 4264 at Gilgal, 1537 and said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, and to x413 the men 376 of Israel, 3478 We be come 935 z8804 from a far y7350 country: 776 x4480 x7350 now x6258 therefore make 3772 z8798 ye a league 1285 with us.

 9:7 And the men 376 of Israel 3478 said 559 z8799 unto x413 the Hivites, 2340 Peradventure 194 ye x859 dwell 3427 z8802 among 7130 us; and how x349 shall we make 3772 z8799 a league 1285 with you?

 9:8 And they said 559 z8799 unto x413 Joshua, 3091 We x587 [are] thy servants. 5650 And Joshua 3091 said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, Who x4310 [are] ye? x859 and from whence 370 x4480 come 935 z8799 ye?

 9:9 And they said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, From a very y3966 far y7350 country 776 x4480 x3966 x7350 thy servants 5650 are come 935 z8804 because of the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 thy God: 430 for x3588 we have heard 8085 z8804 the fame 8089 of him, and all x3605 that x834 he did 6213 z8804 in Egypt, 4714

 9:10 And all x3605 that x834 he did 6213 z8804 to the two 8147 kings 4428 of the Amorites, 567 that x834 [were] beyond 5676 Jordan, 3383 to Sihon 5511 king 4428 of Heshbon, 2809 and to Og 5747 king 4428 of Bashan, 1316 which x834 [was] at Ashtaroth. 6252

 9:11 Wherefore our elders 2205 and all x3605 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of our country 776 spoke 559 z8799 to x413 us, saying, 559 z8800 Take 3947 z8798 victuals 6720 with you 3027 for the journey, 1870 and go y3212 z8798 x1980 to meet 7125 z8800 them, and say 559 z8804 unto x413 them, We x587 [are] your servants: 5650 therefore now x6258 make 3772 z8798 ye a league 1285 with us.

 9:12 This x2088 our bread 3899 we took hot 2525 [for] our provision 6679 z8694 out of our houses 1004 x4480 on the day 3117 we came forth 3318 z8800 to go y3212 z8800 x1980 unto x413 you; but now, x6258 behold, x2009 it is dry, 3001 z8804 and it is x1961 moldy: 5350

 9:13 And these x428 bottles 4997 of wine, 3196 which x834 we filled, 4390 z8765 [were] new; 2319 and, behold, x2009 they be rent: 1234 z8694 and these x428 our garments 8008 and our shoes 5275 are become old 1086 z8804 by reason of the very 3966 long 7230 x4480 journey. 1870

 9:14 And the men y582 x376 took 3947 z8799 of their victuals, 6718 x4480 and asked 7592 z8804 not x3808 [counsel] at the mouth 6310 of the LORD. 3068

 9:15 And Joshua 3091 made 6213 z8799 peace 7965 with them, and made y3772 z8799 x6213 a league 1285 with them, to let them live: 2421 z8763 and the princes 5387 of the congregation 5712 swore 7650 z8735 unto them.

 9:16 ¶ And it came to pass x1961 at the end 7097 x4480 of three 7969 days 3117 after 310 x834 they had made 3772 z8804 a league 1285 with them, that they heard 8085 z8799 that x3588 they x1992 [were] their x413 neighbors, 7138 and [that] they x1992 dwelt 3427 z8802 among 7130 them.

 9:17 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 journeyed, 5265 z8799 and came 935 z8799 unto x413 their cities 5892 on the third 7992 day. 3117 Now their cities 5892 [were] Gibeon, 1391 and Chephirah, 3716 and Beeroth, 881 and Kirjath-jearim. 7157

 9:18 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 smote 5221 z8689 them not, x3808 because x3588 the princes 5387 of the congregation 5712 had sworn 7650 z8738 unto them by the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel. 3478 And all x3605 the congregation 5712 murmured 3885 z8735 against x5921 the princes. 5387

 9:19 But all x3605 the princes 5387 said 559 z8799 unto x413 all x3605 the congregation, 5712 We x587 have sworn 7650 z8738 unto them by the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel: 3478 now x6258 therefore we may 3201 z8799 not x3808 touch 5060 z8800 them.

 9:20 This x2063 we will do 6213 z8799 to them; we will even let them live, 2421 z8687 x853 lest x3808 wrath 7110 be x1961 upon x5921 us, because of x5921 the oath 7621 which x834 we swore 7650 z8738 unto them.

 9:21 And the princes 5387 said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, Let them live; 2421 z8799 but let them be x1961 hewers 2404 z8802 of wood 6086 and drawers 7579 z8802 of water 4325 unto all x3605 the congregation; 5712 as x834 the princes 5387 had promised 1696 z8765 them.

 9:22 ¶ And Joshua 3091 called 7121 z8799 for them, and he spoke 1696 z8762 unto x413 them, saying, 559 z8800 Wherefore x4100 have ye beguiled 7411 z8765 us, saying, 559 z8800 We x587 [are] very 3966 far 7350 from x4480 you; when ye x859 dwell 3427 z8802 among 7130 us?

 9:23 Now x6258 therefore ye x859 [are] cursed, 779 z8803 and there shall none x3808 of x4480 you be freed 3772 z8735 from being bondmen, 5650 and hewers 2404 z8802 of wood 6086 and drawers 7579 z8802 of water 4325 for the house 1004 of my God. 430

 9:24 And they answered 6030 z8799 x853 Joshua, 3091 and said, 559 z8799 Because x3588 it was certainly y5046 z8715 told 5046 z8717 thy servants, 5650 x853 how that x834 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 commanded 6680 z8765 his servant 5650 x853 Moses 4872 to give 5414 z8800 you all x3605 the land, 776 and to destroy 8045 z8687 x853 all x3605 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of the land 776 from before 6440 x4480 you, therefore we were sore 3966 afraid 3372 z8799 of our lives 5315 because y6440 of x4480 x6440 you, and have done 6213 z8799 x853 this x2088 thing. 1697

 9:25 And now, x6258 behold, x2009 we y2009 [are] in thine hand: 3027 as it seemeth y5869 good 2896 and right 3477 unto thee x5869 to do 6213 z8800 unto us, do. 6213 z8798

 9:26 And so x3651 did 6213 z8799 he unto them, and delivered 5337 z8686 them out of the hand 3027 x4480 of the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 that they slew 2026 z8804 them not. x3808

 9:27 And Joshua 3091 made 5414 z8799 them that x1931 day 3117 hewers 2404 z8802 of wood 6086 and drawers 7579 z8802 of water 4325 for the congregation, 5712 and for the altar 4196 of the LORD, 3068 even unto x5704 this x2088 day, 3117 in x413 the place 4725 which x834 he should choose. 977 z8799
