Joshua 9:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

The Gibeonites deceive Joshua

9 All the kings who lived west of the Jordan River heard about what had happened at Ai. They were the kings who ruled in the hill country, in the low hills in the west, and all the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, as far as Lebanon. They were the kings of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. ² They joined together to fight against Joshua and the Israelites.

³ Some Hivite people who lived in Gibeon heard how Joshua had won against Jericho and Ai.
