Joshua 9:24-26

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁴ And they answered Joshua, and said, “Because it was told to your servants that the LORD your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land not within your sight, therefore we were exceedingly very afraid for our lives at the presence of you, and have done this thing.

²⁵ “And behold now, we are in your hand. Do as seems good and right in your eyes to do to us.”

²⁶ And so he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, so that they did not kill them.
