9:1

And it came to pass, when all the kings
<04428>

which [were] on this side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_,

in the hills
<02022>_,

and in the valleys
<08219>_,

and in all the coasts
<02348>

of the great
<01419>

sea
<03220>

over against
<04136>

Lebanon
<03844>_,

the Hittite
<02850>_,

and the Amorite
<0567>_,

the Canaanite
<03669>_,

the Perizzite
<06522>_,

the Hivite
<02340>_,

and the Jebusite
<02983>_,

heard
<08085> (8800)

[thereof];

9:2

That they gathered
<06908> (8691)

themselves together
<03162>_,

to fight
<03898> (8736)

with Joshua
<03091>

and with Israel
<03478>_,

with one
<0259>

accord
<06310>_.

{accord: Heb. mouth}

9:3

And when the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Gibeon
<01391>

heard
<08085> (8804)

what Joshua
<03091>

had done
<06213> (8804)

unto Jericho
<03405>

and to Ai
<05857>_,

9:4

They did work
<06213> (8799)

wilily
<06195>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

and made as if they had been ambassadors
<06737> (8691)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

old
<01087>

sacks
<08242>

upon their asses
<02543>_,

and wine
<03196>

bottles
<04997>_,

old
<01087>_,

and rent
<01234> (8794)_,

and bound up
<06887> (8794)_;

9:5

And old
<01087>

shoes
<05275>

and clouted
<02921> (8794)

upon their feet
<07272>_,

and old
<01087>

garments
<08008>

upon them; and all the bread
<03899>

of their provision
<06718>

was dry
<03001> (8804)

[and] mouldy
<05350>_.

9:6

And they went
<03212> (8799)

to Joshua
<03091>

unto the camp
<04264>

at Gilgal
<01537>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, and to the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>_,

We be come
<0935> (8804)

from a far
<07350>

country
<0776>_:

now therefore make
<03772> (8798)

ye a league
<01285>

with us.

9:7

And the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the Hivites
<02340>_,

Peradventure
<0194>

ye dwell
<03427> (8802)

among
<07130>

us; and how shall we make
<03772> (8799)

a league
<01285>

with you?

9:8

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

We [are] thy servants
<05650>_.

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Who [are] ye? and from whence
<0370>

come
<0935> (8799)

ye?

9:9

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, From a very
<03966>

far
<07350>

country
<0776>

thy servants
<05650>

are come
<0935> (8804)

because of the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_:

for we have heard
<08085> (8804)

the fame
<08089>

of him, and all that he did
<06213> (8804)

in Egypt
<04714>_,

9:10

And all that he did
<06213> (8804)

to the two
<08147>

kings
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

that [were] beyond
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_,

to Sihon
<05511>

king
<04428>

of Heshbon
<02809>_,

and to Og
<05747>

king
<04428>

of Bashan
<01316>_,

which [was] at Ashtaroth
<06252>_.

9:11

Wherefore our elders
<02205>

and all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of our country
<0776>

spake
<0559> (8799)

to us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

victuals
<06720>

with you
<03027>

for the journey
<01870>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them, and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, We [are] your servants
<05650>_:

therefore now make
<03772> (8798)

ye a league
<01285>

with us. {with you: Heb. in your hand}

9:12

This our bread
<03899>

we took hot
<02525>

[for] our provision
<06679> (8694)

out of our houses
<01004>

on the day
<03117>

we came forth
<03318> (8800)

to go
<03212> (8800)

unto you; but now, behold, it is dry
<03001> (8804)_,

and it is mouldy
<05350>_:

9:13

And these bottles
<04997>

of wine
<03196>_,

which we filled
<04390> (8765)_,

[were] new
<02319>_;

and, behold, they be rent
<01234> (8694)_:

and these our garments
<08008>

and our shoes
<05275>

are become old
<01086> (8804)

by reason of the very
<03966>

long
<07230>

journey
<01870>_.

9:14

And the men
<0582>

took
<03947> (8799)

of their victuals
<06718>_,

and asked
<07592> (8804)

not [counsel] at the mouth
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{the men...: or, they received the men by reason of their victuals}
