Joshua 9:20-22

New International Version - UK

²⁰ This is what we will do to them: we will let them live, so that God’s wrath will not fall on us for breaking the oath we swore to them.’ ²¹ They continued, ‘Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water-carriers in the service of the whole assembly.’ So the leaders’ promise to them was kept.

²² Then Joshua summoned the Gibeonites and said, ‘Why did you deceive us by saying, “We live a long way from you,” while actually you live near us?
