| 9:1 | 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; |
| 9:2 | That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord. |
| 9:3 | And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai, |
| 9:3 | 基遍的居民聽見約書亞向耶利哥和艾城所行的事、 |
| 9:3 | 基遍的居民听见约书亚向耶利哥和艾城所行的事， |
| jos:10:2 | That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty. |
| jos:10:10 | And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah. |
| jos:10:12 | Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. |
| 2sa:21:1 | Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. |
| 2sa:21:2 | And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.) |
| 1ki:3:4 | And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar. |
| 1ki:3:5 | In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. |
| 1ki:9:2 | That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon. |
| jos:6:21 | And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. |
| jos:6:24 | And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD. |
| jos:8:26 | For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. |
| jos:8:28 | And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day. |

| 9:4 | 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; |
| 9:5 | And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy. |
| 9:6 | 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. |
| 9:7 | And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you? |
| 9:8 | And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye? |
| 9:9 | 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, |
| 9:10 | 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. |
| 9:11 | 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. |
| 9:12 | 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: |
| 9:13 | 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. |
| 9:14 | And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD. |
| 9:15 | 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. |
| 9:16 | 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. |
| 9:17 | 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 Kirjathjearim. |
| 9:18 | 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. |
| 9:19 | 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. |
| 9:20 | 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. |
| 9:21 | 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. |
| 9:22 | 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? |
| 9:23 | 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. |
| 9:24 | 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. |
| 9:25 | And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do. |
| 9:26 | And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not. |
| 9:27 | 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. |
