Joshua 9:3-6

The Gibeonite Deception

³ But when the inhabitants of _m Gibeon heard what Joshua had done _n to Jericho and _o to Ai, ⁴ they on their part acted with cunning and went and made ready provisions and took worn-out sacks for their donkeys, and wineskins, worn-out and torn and mended, ⁵ with worn-out, patched sandals on their feet, and worn-out clothes. And all their provisions were dry and crumbly. ⁶ And they went to Joshua in _p the camp at Gilgal and said to him and to the men of Israel, "We have come from a distant country, so now make a covenant with us."
