Joshua 9:21-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²¹ They also said, “Let them live.” So the Gibeonites became woodcutters and water carriers^(A) for the whole community, as the leaders had promised them.

²² Joshua summoned the Gibeonites and said to them, “Why did you deceive us by telling us you live far away from us, when in fact you live among us? ²³ Therefore you are cursed and will always be slaves—woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”
