  • Josh 10:1-6 : 1 Now when Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem, heard how Joshua had captured Ai and devoted it to destruction—doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king—and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among them, 2 he and his people were very afraid because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, even greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty warriors. 3 So Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent word to Hoham, king of Hebron, to Piram, king of Jarmuth, to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying, 4 “Come up to me and help me; let us attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and the people of Israel.” 5 Then the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon—joined forces, and they and their armies moved out, camped near Gibeon, and prepared to attack it. 6 The men of Gibeon sent a message to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, for all the kings of the Amorites living in the hill country have gathered against us.”
  • Matt 10:16-23 : 16 Look, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves. 17 But be on guard against people, for they will hand you over to councils and will flog you in their synagogues. 18 You will be brought before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them and the Gentiles. 19 When they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you should say, for what you are to say will be given to you at that time. 20 For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise up against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. For truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
