Joshua 9:19-22

¹⁹and the princes answered to them, We swore to them in the name of the Lord God of Israel, and therefore we may not touch them;

²⁰but we shall do this thing to them; be they kept that they live, lest the ire of the Lord be stirred against us, if we forswear us to them;

²¹but so live they, that they hew trees, and bear waters, into the uses of all the multitude. And while they spake these things,

²²Joshua called Gibeonites, and said to them, Why would ye deceive us by fraud, that ye said, We dwell full far from you, since ye be in the midst of us?
