RF JOS 9:1 (B.C. 1451) All the Kings of Canaan make Alliance to fight Israel.
When all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hills, and on the slopes, and on the shore of the Great Sea opposite Lebanon,—of the Hitites, and the Amorites, the Callanites, the Perizites, Hivites, and the Jebusites, heard it,
RF JOS 9:2 they allied together for war with Joshua and Israel.
RF JOS 9:3 The people of Gibeon make a treaty of Peace.
The inhabitants of Gibeon, also, heard what Joshua had done to Jeriko and Ai,
RF JOS 9:4 but they acted with cunning, and went and took worn saddles on their asses, and old wine-skins broken and patched,
RF JOS 9:5 and old patched shoes on their feet, and worn clothes upon them, and all their bread and provisions were mouldy.
RF JOS 9:6 They came thus to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the princes of Israel; "We have come from a distant country, and wish you to make a treaty with us."
RF JOS 9:7 But the Leader of Israel replied, "Do you reside amongst the Hivites? If so I cannot make a treaty with you!"
RF JOS 9:8 They, however, answered Joshua, "We are your servants." When Joshua enquired "Who are you? and whence do you come?"
RF JOS 9:9 they answered, "Your servants come from a very distant country to the Name of your EVER-LIVING GOD; for we have heard what He has done,—all that He did in Mitzeraim;
RF JOS 9:10 and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan,—to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who was in Ashtaroth,—
RF JOS 9:11 so all the chiefs and people of our country commanded us to take provisions for our journey, and go to meet you, and say; We are your servants, therefore make a treaty with us.'
RF JOS 9:12 We consequently prepared new biscuits at our homes on the day we began to travel to you,—and now, see, they are bad and mouldy
RF JOS 9:13 And these wine-skins were new when we filled them, and now they are broken, And these clothes and shoes of ours are worn out from the great length of the journey."
RF JOS 9:14 So they accepted the men from their provisions, and did not enquire of the mouth of the EVER-LIVING.
RF JOS 9:15 Joshua therefore made peace with them, and concluded a treaty to preserve their lives, and the chiefs of the Parliament swore it to them.
RF JOS 9:16 But at the end of the three days after they had made the treaty with them, they learnt they were neighbors, who resided in the vicinity
RF JOS 9:17 For the children of Israel marched and came to their towns on the third day,—the villages of Gibeon-Kaphirah, and Baroth, and Kirzath of the Woods, but the sons of Israel did not strike them,
RF JOS 9:18 because the Lords of Parliament had sworn to them by the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel. All the public, however, complained of these lords.
RF JOS 9:19 The Public condemn the Parliament for the Treaty with Gibeon.
But they replied, "All we, the Lords of the Parliament, swore to them by the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel, so you cannot now injure them.—
RF JOS 9:20 Do this, however, and let them live, that there may not be anger upon us because of the oath which we have sworn to them."
RF JOS 9:21 The lords therefore said to them, "You shall live; but you shall be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the Parliament, as the lords promised you."

RF JOS 9:22 Joshua Confirms the treaty on Conditions.
Joshua consequently summoned them, and addressed them thus, "Why did you deceive us, asserting, We are from a very great distance,' when you reside in the vicinity?
RF JOS 9:23 However since you have deceived, and the result cannot be taken from you, you shall be hewers of wood and drawers of water to the House of the EVER-LIVING."
RF JOS 9:24 They, however, answered Joshua and said; "Because it was clear to your servants that your EVER-LIVING GOD had promised to His servant Moses to give all this country to you, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you, we feared greatly for our lives in your presence, there-fore we did this.
RF JOS 9:25 And now we are in your hand for good, do with us what is right in your eyes to do."
RF JOS 9:26 So he showed kindness to them, and protected them from the hands of the children of Israel, that they should not kill them
RF JOS 9:27 But Joshua gave them at the same time to be hewers of wood and drawers of water for the Parliament, and for the altar of the EVER-LIVING, to this day, at the place which might be chosen.
