Joshua 9:11-15

Joshua 9:11-15

[11] Wherefore our elders  and all the inhabitants  of our country  spake  Take  victuals  with you  for the journey,  to meet  them, and say  unto them, We are your servants:  therefore now make  ye a league  with us. [12] This our bread  we took hot  for our provision  out of our houses  on the day  we came forth  unto you; but now, behold, it is dry,  and it is mouldy:  [13] And these bottles  of wine,  which we filled,  were new;  and, behold, they be rent:  and these our garments  and our shoes  are become old  by reason of the very  long  journey.  [14] And the men  took  of their victuals,  and asked  not counsel at the mouth  of the LORD.  [15] And Joshua  made  peace  with them, and made  a league  with them, to let them live:  and the princes  of the congregation  sware  unto them.
