Joshua 9:25-27

Living Bible

²⁵ But now we are in your hands; you may do with us as you wish.”

²⁶ So Joshua would not allow the people of Israel to kill them, ²⁷ but they became woodchoppers and water-carriers for the people of Israel and for the altar of the Lord—wherever it would be built (for the Lord hadn’t yet told them where to build it). This arrangement is still in force at the time of this writing.
