Joshua 9:17-19
New English Translation
17 So the Israelites set out and on the third day arrived at their cities—Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath Jearim. 18 The Israelites did not attack them because the leaders of the community had sworn an oath to them in the name of the Lord God of Israel.[a] The whole community criticized[b] the leaders, 19 but all the leaders told the whole community, “We swore an oath to them in the name of[c] the Lord God of Israel! So now we can’t hurt[d] them.
