Now their cities{H5892} were Gibeon{H1391}, and Chephirah{H3716}, and Beeroth{H881}, and Kirjathjearim{H7157}. 18 And the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} smote{H5221}{(H8689)} them not, because the princes{H5387} of the congregation{H5712} had sworn{H7650}{(H8738)} unto them by the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478}. And all the congregation{H5712} murmured{H3885}{(H8735)} against the princes{H5387}. 19 But all the princes{H5387} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto all the congregation{H5712}, We have sworn{H7650}{(H8738)} unto them by the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478}: now therefore we may{H3201}{(H8799)} not touch{H5060}{(H8800)} them. 20 This we will do{H6213}{(H8799)} to them; we will even let them live{H2421}{(H8687)}, lest wrath{H7110} be upon us, because of the oath{H7621} which we sware{H7650}{(H8738)} unto them. 21 And the princes{H5387} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Let them live{H2421}{(H8799)}; but let them be hewers{H2404}{(H8802)} of wood{H6086} and drawers{H7579}{(H8802)} of water{H4325} unto all the congregation{H5712}; as the princes{H5387} had promised{H1696}{(H8765)} them. 22 And Joshua{H3091} called{H7121}{(H8799)} for them, and he spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto them, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Wherefore have ye beguiled{H7411}{(H8765)} us, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, We are very{H3966} far{H7350} from you; when ye dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} among{H7130} us? 23 Now therefore ye are cursed{H779}{(H8803)}, and there shall none of you be freed{H3772}{(H8735)} from being bondmen{H5650}, and hewers{H2404}{(H8802)} of wood{H6086} and drawers{H7579}{(H8802)} of water{H4325} for the house{H1004} of my God{H430}. 24 And they answered{H6030}{(H8799)} Joshua{H3091}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Because it was certainly{H5046}{(H8715)} told{H5046}{(H8717)} thy servants{H5650}, how that the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} his servant{H5650} Moses{H4872} to give{H5414}{(H8800)} you all the land{H776}, and to destroy{H8045}{(H8687)} all the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of the land{H776} from before{H6440} you, therefore we were sore{H3966} afraid{H3372}{(H8799)} of our lives{H5315} because{H6440} of you, and have done{H6213}{(H8799)} this thing{H1697}. 25 And now, behold, we{H2009} are in thine hand{H3027}: as it seemeth{H5869} good{H2896} and right{H3477} unto thee to do{H6213}{(H8800)} unto us, do{H6213}{(H8798)}. 26 And so did{H6213}{(H8799)} he unto them, and delivered{H5337}{(H8686)} them out of the hand{H3027} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, that they slew{H2026}{(H8804)} them not. 27 And Joshua{H3091} made{H5414}{(H8799)} them that day{H3117} hewers{H2404}{(H8802)} of wood{H6086} and drawers{H7579}{(H8802)} of water{H4325} for the congregation{H5712}, and for the altar{H4196} of the LORD{H3068}, even unto this day{H3117}, in the place{H4725} which he should choose{H977}{(H8799)}.
