Joshua 9:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ This we will do to them: we will let them live, lest wrath be upon us because of the oath which we swore to them.

²¹ And the leaders said to them, Let them live [and be our slaves]. So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the assembly, just as the leaders had said of them.

²² Joshua called the men and said, Why did you deceive us, saying, We live very far from you, when you dwell among us?
