Joshua 9:14-18

14So the men took some of their provisions, but adid not ask counsel from the Lord. 15And Joshua bmade peace with them and made a covenant with them, to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore to them.

16At the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbors cand that they lived among them. 17And the people of Israel set out and reached their cities on the third day. dNow their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim. 18But the people of Israel did not attack them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. Then all the congregation murmured against the leaders.
