Joshua 9:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Joshua made peace with them; he made a covenant with them, permitting them to live. The leaders of the assembly also swore an oath to them.

¹⁶ Punishment of the Gibeonites. Three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were actually neighbors, and that they were living in their land. ¹⁷ The Israelites went out and arrived at their cities three days later. Their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
