06:009:020 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.

06:009:021 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.

06:009:022 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?

06:009:023 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.

06:009:024 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.

06:009:025 And now, behold, we are in thine hand:  as it seemeth good and
           right unto thee to do unto us, do.

06:009:026 And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of
           the children of Israel, that they slew them not.

06:009:027 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.

06:010:001 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedec king of Jerusalem had
           heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it;
           as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai
           and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace
           with Israel, and were among them;

06:010:002 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as
           one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai,
           and all the men thereof were mighty.

06:010:003 Wherefore Adonizedec king of Jerusalem, sent unto Hoham king
           of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia
           king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

06:010:004 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon:  for it
           hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

06:010:005 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of
           Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king
           of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together,
           and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before
           Gibeon, and made war against it.
