Joshua 9:3-6
New King James Version
3 But when the inhabitants of (A)Gibeon (B)heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai, 4 they worked craftily, and went and [a]pretended to be ambassadors. And they took old sacks on their donkeys, old wineskins torn and [b]mended, 5 old and patched sandals on their feet, and old garments on themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and moldy. 6 And they went to Joshua, (C)to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country; now therefore, make a [c]covenant with us.”
