Joshua 9:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ But at the end of three days, after they had made an alliance with them, they heard that they were their neighbors and that they dwelt among them.

¹⁷ And the children of Israel took their journey, and came to their cities on the third day. And their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth and Kirjath Jearim.

¹⁸ And the children of Israel did not kill them, because the princes of the Congregation had sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel. Therefore, all the Congregation murmured against the princes.
