O acordo de paz com os gibeonitas
9 Todos os reis que viviam a oeste do rio Jordão, tanto os das montanhas como os das planícies, e também os reis de todo o litoral do mar Mediterrâneo até o Líbano ficaram sabendo disso. Estes eram os reis dos heteus, dos amorreus, dos cananeus, dos perizeus, dos heveus e dos jebuseus. 2 E todos eles se reuniram para guerrear contra Josué e o povo de Israel.
3 Quando os moradores da cidade de Gibeão, que eram heveus, ouviram falar do que Josué tinha feito com Jericó e com Ai, 4 resolveram enganá-lo. Pegaram comida e carregaram os seus jumentos com sacos velhos e com odres rasgados e remendados, cheios de vinho. 5 Calçaram sandálias velhas e remendadas e vestiram roupas bem gastas. E levaram para comer pão seco e bolorento. 6 Eles foram até o acampamento de Gilgal e disseram a Josué e a todos os homens de Israel:
— Nós estamos chegando de um país que fica bem longe daqui. Façam um acordo de paz com a gente.
7 Porém os homens de Israel disseram:
— Pode ser que vocês morem aqui por perto. Como é que podemos fazer um acordo de paz com vocês?
8 — Estamos prontos para ser seus empregados! — responderam eles.
— Quem são vocês? De onde vêm? — perguntou Josué.
9 Os gibeonitas responderam:
— Nós, os seus criados, somos de um país que fica muito longe e viemos até aqui porque ouvimos falar do Senhor, seu Deus. Ouvimos as notícias de tudo o que ele fez no Egito. 10 E também soubemos o que fez com os dois reis amorreus a leste do rio Jordão; a Seom, rei de Hesbom, e a Ogue, rei de Basã, que vivia em Astarote. 11 Os nossos líderes e toda a nossa gente nos mandaram preparar comida para viajar. Eles nos mandaram encontrar com vocês e dizer: “Estamos prontos para ser seus empregados! Façam um acordo de paz com a gente.” 12 E vejam só o nosso pão! Estava quentinho quando saímos de casa no começo da viagem. Mas olhem! Agora está seco e bolorento. 13 Quando enchemos de vinho estes odres, eles eram novos. Mas vejam! Agora estão rasgados. As nossas roupas e as nossas sandálias estão gastas por causa da longa viagem que fizemos.
14 Os homens de Israel aceitaram a comida deles, porém não pediram conselho a Deus, o Senhor. 15 Josué fez um acordo de paz com os gibeonitas, prometendo que não seriam mortos. E os líderes do povo de Israel juraram que cumpririam a sua palavra.
16 Três dias depois de feito o acordo, descobriram que aquela gente morava perto. 17 Tanto assim que os israelitas saíram do acampamento e três dias depois chegaram às cidades onde os gibeonitas viviam, isto é, Gibeão, Cefira, Beerote e Quiriate-Jearim. 18 Porém, por causa do juramento que os seus líderes tinham feito aos gibeonitas em nome do Senhor, o Deus de Israel, os israelitas não os mataram. E por isso todo o povo reclamou contra os líderes, 19 mas eles explicaram assim:
— Nós juramos em nome do Senhor, o Deus de Israel, e agora não podemos fazer nada contra os gibeonitas. 20 Por causa da nossa promessa temos de deixá-los viver; se não, Deus nos castigará. 21 Deixem que eles vivam; mas terão de cortar lenha e carregar água para nós.
Foi isso o que os líderes disseram.
22 Então Josué chamou os gibeonitas e perguntou:
— Por que vocês nos enganaram, afirmando que vinham de longe, quando vivem aqui mesmo? 23 E, já que vocês fizeram isso, de agora em diante vão viver debaixo do castigo de Deus. É do povo gibeonita que sairão sempre os escravos para cortar madeira e carregar água para a casa do meu Deus.
24 Eles responderam:
— Fizemos isso porque ficamos sabendo que o Senhor, seu Deus, havia ordenado ao seu servo Moisés que entregasse toda esta terra aos israelitas. E também ordenou a vocês que, conforme fossem avançando, matassem todos os seus moradores. Fizemos isso porque ficamos com muito medo de vocês, medo de sermos mortos. 25 Agora estamos nas suas mãos; faça de nós o que achar melhor.
26 Josué protegeu os gibeonitas e não deixou que fossem mortos. 27 Mas, daquele dia em diante, ele os obrigou a serem carregadores de água e rachadores de lenha para o povo de Israel e para o altar de Deus, o Senhor. E até hoje eles continuam fazendo isso, trabalhando no lugar escolhido por Deus para a sua adoração.

Joshua 9
King James Version
9 And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;
2 That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
3 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
4 They did work wilily, and went 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 of their provision was dry and mouldy.
6 And they went 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 ye?
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,
10 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.
11 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go 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 to go 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.
16 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.
18 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
19 But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
20 This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.
21 And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.
22 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?
23 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the Lord thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
25 And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
26 And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.

The Gibeonite Deception
9 Now when all the kings west of the Jordan heard about these things—the kings in the hill country,(A) in the western foothills, and along the entire coast of the Mediterranean Sea(B) as far as Lebanon(C) (the kings of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites,(D) Hivites(E) and Jebusites)(F)— 2 they came together to wage war against Joshua and Israel.
3 However, when the people of Gibeon(G) heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,(H) 4 they resorted to a ruse: They went as a delegation whose donkeys were loaded[a] with worn-out sacks and old wineskins, cracked and mended. 5 They put worn and patched sandals on their feet and wore old clothes. All the bread of their food supply was dry and moldy. 6 Then they went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal(I) and said to him and the Israelites, “We have come from a distant country;(J) make a treaty(K) with us.”
7 The Israelites said to the Hivites,(L) “But perhaps you live near us, so how can we make a treaty(M) with you?”
8 “We are your servants,(N)” they said to Joshua.
But Joshua asked, “Who are you and where do you come from?”
9 They answered: “Your servants have come from a very distant country(O) because of the fame of the Lord your God. For we have heard reports(P) of him: all that he did in Egypt,(Q) 10 and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan—Sihon king of Heshbon,(R) and Og king of Bashan,(S) who reigned in Ashtaroth.(T) 11 And our elders and all those living in our country said to us, ‘Take provisions for your journey; go and meet them and say to them, “We are your servants; make a treaty with us.”’ 12 This bread of ours was warm when we packed it at home on the day we left to come to you. But now see how dry and moldy it is. 13 And these wineskins that we filled were new, but see how cracked they are. And our clothes and sandals are worn out by the very long journey.”
14 The Israelites sampled their provisions but did not inquire(U) of the Lord. 15 Then Joshua made a treaty of peace(V) with them to let them live,(W) and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath.
16 Three days after they made the treaty with the Gibeonites, the Israelites heard that they were neighbors, living near(X) them. 17 So the Israelites set out and on the third day came to their cities: Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth(Y) and Kiriath Jearim.(Z) 18 But the Israelites did not attack them, because the leaders of the assembly had sworn an oath(AA) to them by the Lord, the God of Israel.
The whole assembly grumbled(AB) against the leaders, 19 but all the leaders answered, “We have given them our oath by the Lord, the God of Israel, and we cannot touch them now. 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(AC) we swore to them.” 21 They continued, “Let them live,(AD) but let them be woodcutters and water carriers(AE) 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(AF) from you,’ while actually you live near(AG) us? 23 You are now under a curse:(AH) You will never be released from service as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”
24 They answered Joshua, “Your servants were clearly told(AI) how the Lord your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you the whole land and to wipe out all its inhabitants from before you. So we feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we did this. 25 We are now in your hands.(AJ) Do to us whatever seems good and right(AK) to you.”
26 So Joshua saved them from the Israelites, and they did not kill them. 27 That day he made the Gibeonites(AL) woodcutters and water carriers(AM) for the assembly, to provide for the needs of the altar of the Lord at the place the Lord would choose.(AN) And that is what they are to this day.
