Joshua 9:19-22

¹⁹But all the chiefs said to the people, We have taken an oath to them by the Lord, the God of Israel, and so we may not put our hands on them.

²⁰This is what we will do to them: we will not put them to death, for fear that wrath may come on us because of our oath to them.

²¹Keep them living, and let them be servants, cutting wood and getting water for all the people. And all the people did as the chiefs had said to them.

²²Then Joshua sent for them, and said to them, Why have you been false to us, saying, We are very far from you, when you are living among us?
