Joshua 9:3-9

Joshua 9:3-9

[3] And when the inhabitants  of Gibeon  heard  what Joshua  had done  unto Jericho  and to Ai,  [4] They did work  wilily,  and made as if they had been ambassadors,  and took  old  sacks  upon their asses,  and wine  bottles,  old,  and rent,  and bound up;  [5] And old  shoes  and clouted  upon their feet,  and old  garments  upon them; and all the bread  was dry  and mouldy.  [6] to Joshua  unto the camp  at Gilgal,  and said  unto him, and to the men  of Israel,  We be come  from a far  country:  now therefore make  ye a league  with us. [7] And the men  of Israel  said  unto the Hivites,  Peradventure  ye dwell  among  us; and how shall we make  a league  with you? [8] And they said  unto Joshua,  We are thy servants.  And Joshua  said  unto them, Who are ye? and from whence  come  [9] And they said  unto him, From a very  far  country  thy servants  are come  because of the name  of the LORD  thy God:  for we have heard  the fame  of him, and all that he did  in Egypt,
