Chapter 9
And
it
came
to
passe
when
all
the
kings
which
were
on
this
side
Iordan
in
the
hilles,
and
in
the
valleys,
and
in
all
the
coasts
of
the
great
sea,
ouer
against
Lebanon,
the
Hittite,
and
the
Amorite,
the
Canaanite,
the
Perizzite,
the
Hiuite,
and
the
Iebusite
heard
thereof:
2
That
they
gathered
themselues
together
to
fight
with
Ioshua,
and
with
Israel,
with
one
accord.
3
And
when
the
inhabitants
of
Gibeon
heard
what
Ioshua
had
done
vnto
Iericho,
and
to
Ai,
4
They
did
worke
wilily,
and
went
and
made
as
if
they
had
beene
embassadours,
and
tooke
old
sackes
vpon
their
asses,
and
wine-bottels,
old,
and
rent,
and
bound
vp,
5
And
old
shooes
and
clowted
vpon
their
feet,
&
olde
garments
vpon
them,
and
all
the
bread
of
their
prouision
was
drie
and
mouldie.
6
And
they
went
to
Ioshua
vnto
the
campe
at
Gilgal,
and
said
vnto
him,
and
to
the
men
of
Israel,
Wee
be
come
from
a
farre
countrey:
Now
therefore
make
ye
a
league
with
vs.
7
And
the
men
of
Israel
said
vnto
the
Hiuites,
Peraduenture
yee
dwell
among
vs,
and
how
shall
wee
make
a
league
with
you.?
8
And
they
said
vnto
Ioshua,
Wee
are
thy
seruants.
And
Ioshua
said
vnto
them,
Who
are
ye?
And
from
whence
come
ye?
9
And
they
said
vnto
him,
From
a
very
farre
countrey
thy
seruants
are
come,
because
of
the
Name
of
the
Lord
thy
God:
for
wee
haue
heard
the
fame
of
him,
and
all
that
hee
did
in
Egypt,
10
And
all
that
hee
did
to
the
two
kings
of
the
Amorites,
that
were
beyond
Iordan,
to
Sihon
king
of
Heshbon,
and
to
Og
king
of
Bashan,
which
was
at
Ashtaroth.
11
Wherefore
our
Elders
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
our
countrey,
spake
to
vs,
saying,
Take
victuals
with
you
for
the
iourney,
and
goe
to
meete
them,
and
say
vnto
them,
Wee
are
your
seruants:
therefore
now
make
ye
a
league
with
vs.
12
This
our
bread,
wee
tooke
hote
for
our
prouision
out
of
our
houses,
on
the
day
we
came
forth
to
goe
vnto
you:
but
now
behold,
it
is
dry,
&
it
is
mouldy.
13
And
these
bottels
of
wine
which
we
filled,
were
new,
and
behold,
they
be
rent:
and
these
our
garments,
and
our
shooes
are
become
old,
by
reason
of
the
very
long
iourney.
14
And
the
men
tooke
of
their
victuals,
and
asked
not
counsell
at
the
mouth
of
the
Lord.
15
And
Ioshua
made
peace
with
them,
and
made
a
league
with
them,
to
let
them
liue:
and
the
princes
of
the
Congregation
sware
vnto
them.
16
And
it
came
to
passe
at
the
end
of
three
dayes,
after
they
had
made
a
league
with
them,
that
they
heard
that
they
were
their
neighbours,
and
that
they
dwelt
among
them.
17
And
the
children
of
Israel
iourneyed,
and
came
vnto
their
cities
on
the
third
day:
now
their
cities
were
Gibeon,
and
Chephirah,
and
Beeroth,
and
Kiriath-iearim.
18
And
the
children
of
Israel
smote
them
not,
because
the
Princes
of
the
Congregation
had
sworne
vnto
them
by
the
Lord
God
of
Israel:
And
all
the
Congregation
murmured
against
the
Princes.
19
But
all
the
Princes
said
vnto
all
the
Congregation,
We
haue
sworne
vnto
them
by
the
Lord
God
of
Israel:
now
therefore
we
may
not
touch
them.
20
This
we
will
doe
to
them;
wee
will
euen
let
them
liue,
lest
wrath
be
vpon
vs,
because
of
the
oath
which
wee
sware
vnto
them.
21
And
the
Princes
said
vnto
them,
Let
them
liue,
(but
let
them
bee
hewers
of
wood,
and
drawers
of
water,
vnto
all
the
Congregation,)
as
the
Princes
had
promised
them.
22
And
Ioshua
called
for
them,
and
he
spake
vnto
them,
saying,
Wherefore
haue
ye
beguiled
vs,
saying,
We
are
very
farre
from
you?
when
ye
dwell
among
vs.
23
Now
therefore
ye
are
cursed,
and
there
shall
none
of
you
bee
freed
from
being
bondmen,
and
hewers
of
wood,
and
drawers
of
water,
for
the
house
of
my
God.
24
And
they
answered
Ioshua,
and
said,
Because
it
was
certainely
told
thy
seruants,
how
that
the
Lord
thy
God
commanded
his
seruant
Moses
to
giue
you
all
the
land,
and
to
destroy
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
from
before
you,
therefore
we
were
sore
afraid
of
our
liues
because
of
you,
and
haue
done
this
thing.
25
And
now
behold,
we
are
in
thine
hand:
as
it
seemeth
good
and
right
vnto
thee
to
doe
vnto
vs,
doe.
26
And
so
did
he
vnto
them,
and
deliuered
them
out
of
the
hand
of
the
children
of
Israel,
that
they
slew
them
not.
27
And
Ioshua
made
them
that
day,
hewers
of
wood,
and
drawers
of
water
for
the
Congregation,
and
for
the
Altar
of
the
Lord,
euen
vnto
this
day,
in
the
place
which
he
should
choose.
