Joshua 9:26 (KJV) King James Version

1 And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;
2 That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
3 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
4 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
5 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.
6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.
7 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?
8 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?
9 And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
10 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, 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 country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.
12 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:
13 And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.
14 And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.
15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.
16 And it came to pass at the end of three days 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 journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim.
18 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
19 But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
20 This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.
21 And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.
22 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?
23 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
25 And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
26 And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.
1 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when all H3605 CMS the kings H4428 which H834 RPRO were on this side H5676 Jordan H3383 D-EFS , in the hills H2022 , and in the valleys H8219 , and in all H3605 the coasts H2348 of the great H1419 D-AMS sea H3220 D-NMS over H413 PREP against H4136 Lebanon H3844 , the Hittite H2850 , and the Amorite H567 , the Canaanite H3669 , the Perizzite H6522 , the Hivite H2340 , and the Jebusite H2983 , heard H8085 thereof ;
2 That they gathered themselves H6908 together H3162 ADV-3MS , to fight H3898 with H5973 PREP Joshua H3091 and with H5973 Israel H3478 , with one H259 ONUM accord H6310 .
3 And when the inhabitants H3427 of Gibeon H1391 heard H8085 VQQ3MP what H834 RPRO Joshua H3091 had done H6213 VQQ3MS unto Jericho H3405 and to Ai H5857 ,
4 They H1992 PPRO-3MP did work H6213 W-VQY3MP wilily H6195 , and went H1980 W-VQY3MP and made as if they had been ambassadors H6737 , and took H3947 W-VQY3MP old H1087 sacks H8242 NMP upon their asses H2543 , and wine H3196 NMS bottles H4997 , old H1087 , and rent H1234 , and bound up H6887 ;
5 And old H1087 shoes H5275 and clouted H2921 upon their feet H7272 , and old H1087 garments H8008 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them ; and all H3605 W-CMS the bread H3899 NMS of their provision H6718 was dry H3001 and moldy H5350 .
6 And they went H1980 W-VQY3MP to H413 PREP Joshua H3091 unto H413 PREP the camp H4264 at Gilgal H1537 , and said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS him , and to H413 PREP the men H376 NMS of Israel H3478 , We be come H935 from a far country H776 M-NFS : now H6258 W-ADV therefore make H3772 ye a league H1285 with us .
7 And the men H376 NMS of Israel H3478 said H559 unto H413 PREP the Hivites H2340 , Peradventure H194 ADV ye H859 PPRO-2MS dwell H3427 VQPMS among H7130 us ; and how H349 W-IJEC shall we make H3772 a league H1285 with you ?
8 And they said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Joshua H3091 , We H587 are thy servants H5650 . And Joshua H3091 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP them , Who H4310 IPRO are ye H859 PPRO-2MS ? and from whence H370 WM-ADV come H935 ye ?
9 And they said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS him , From a very far country H776 M-NFS thy servants H5650 are come H935 VQQ3MP because of the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS : for H3588 CONJ we have heard H8085 VQQ1MP the fame H8089 of him , and all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO he did H6213 VQQ3MS in Egypt H4714 ,
10 And all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO he did H6213 VQQ3MS to the two H8147 kings H4428 NMS of the Amorites H567 D-TMS , that H834 RPRO were beyond H5676 Jordan H3383 D-EFS , to Sihon H5511 king H4428 NMS of Heshbon H2809 , and to Og H5747 king H4428 NMS of Bashan H1316 , which H834 RPRO was at Ashtaroth H6252 .
11 Wherefore our elders H2205 and all H3605 W-CMS the inhabitants H3427 of our country H776 spoke H559 W-VQY3MP to H413 us , saying H559 L-VQFC , Take H3947 victuals H6720 with you H3027 for the journey H1870 , and go H1980 W-VQI2MP to meet H7125 them , and say H559 unto H413 PREP-3MP them , We H587 PPRO-1MP are your servants H5650 : therefore now H6258 W-ADV make H3772 ye a league H1285 with us .
12 This H2088 DPRO our bread H3899 we took hot H2525 for our provision H6679 out of our houses H1004 on the day H3117 B-NMS we came forth H3318 to go H1980 L-VQFC unto H413 you ; but now H6258 W-ADV , behold H2009 IJEC , it is dry H3001 , and it is H1961 W-VQQ3MS moldy H5350 :
13 And these H428 W-PMP bottles H4997 of wine H3196 D-NMS , which H834 RPRO we filled H4390 , were new H2319 AMP ; and , behold H2009 IJEC , they be rent H1234 : and these H428 W-PMP our garments H8008 and our shoes H5275 are become old H1086 by reason of the very H3966 ADV long H7230 M-NMS journey H1870 D-NMS .
14 And the men H376 took H3947 W-VQY3MP of their victuals H6718 , and asked H7592 not H3808 NADV counsel at the mouth H6310 of the LORD H3068 EDS .
15 And Joshua H3091 made H6213 W-VQY3MS peace H7965 NMS with them , and made H6213 W-VQY3MS a league H1285 NFS with them , to let them live H2421 : and the princes H5387 of the congregation H5712 swore H7650 unto them .
16 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS at the end H7097 M-CMS of three H7969 BMS days H3117 NMP after H310 PREP they had made H3772 a league H1285 NFS with them , that they heard H8085 W-VQY3MP that H3588 CONJ they H1992 PPRO-3MP were their H413 PREP-3MS neighbors H7138 , and that they H1992 PPRO-3MP dwelt H3427 among H7130 them .
17 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 journeyed H5265 , and came H935 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP their cities H5892 on the third H7992 D-ONUM day H3117 B-AMS . Now their cities H5892 were Gibeon H1391 , and Chephirah H3716 , and Beeroth H881 , and Kirjath H7157 - jearim .
18 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 smote H5221 them not H3808 W-NPAR , because H3588 CONJ the princes H5387 of the congregation H5712 had sworn H7650 unto them by the LORD H3068 God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 . And all H3605 CMS the congregation H5712 murmured H3885 against H5921 PREP the princes H5387 .
19 But all H3605 NMS the princes H5387 said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the congregation H5712 , We H587 PPRO-1MP have sworn H7650 unto them by the LORD H3068 God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 : now H6258 W-ADV therefore we may H3201 not H3808 NADV touch H5060 them .
20 This H2063 DPRO we will do H6213 to them ; we will even let them live H2421 , lest H3808 W-NPAR wrath H7110 be H1961 VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP us , because of H5921 PREP the oath H7621 which H834 RPRO we swore H7650 unto them .
21 And the princes H5387 said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MP them , Let them live H2421 ; but let them be H1961 W-VQY3MP hewers H2404 of wood H6086 and drawers H7579 of water H4325 OMD unto all H3605 L-CMS the congregation H5712 ; as H834 K-RPRO the princes H5387 had promised H1696 them .
22 And Joshua H3091 called H7121 W-VQY3MS for them , and he spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MP them , saying H559 L-VQFC , Wherefore H4100 L-IPRO have ye beguiled H7411 us , saying H559 L-VQFC , We H587 PPRO-1MP are very H3966 ADV far H7350 from H4480 M-PPRO-2MS you ; when ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP dwell H3427 among H7130 us ?
23 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore ye H859 PPRO-2MS are cursed H779 , and there shall none H3808 W-NPAR of H4480 M-PPRO-2MS you be freed H3772 VNI3MS from being bondmen H5650 NMS , and hewers H2404 of wood H6086 and drawers H7579 of water H4325 OMD for the house H1004 of my God H430 CMP-1MS .
24 And they answered H6030 Joshua H3091 , and said H559 W-VQY3MP , Because H3588 CONJ it was certainly told H5046 thy servants H5650 , how that H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS commanded H6680 VPQ3MS his servant H5650 Moses H4872 to give H5414 L-VQFC you all H3605 NMS the land H776 D-GFS , and to destroy H8045 all H3605 NMS the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 D-GFS from before H6440 you , therefore we were sore H3966 ADV afraid H3372 of our lives H5315 because of you , and have done H6213 this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS .
25 And now H6258 W-ADV , behold H2009 , we are in thine hand H3027 B-CFS-2MS : as it seemeth good H2896 and right H3477 unto thee H5869 to do H6213 L-VQFC unto us , do H6213 .
26 And so H3651 ADV did H6213 W-VQY3MS he unto them , and delivered H5337 them out of the hand H3027 M-GFS of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , that they slew H2026 them not H3808 W-NPAR .
27 And Joshua H3091 made H5414 them that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS hewers H2404 of wood H6086 and drawers H7579 of water H4325 OMD for the congregation H5712 , and for the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 EDS , even unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS , in H413 PREP the place H4725 D-NMS which H834 RPRO he should choose H977 .
