Then the king sent for the Gibeonites; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but were the last of the Amorites, to whom the children of Israel had given an oath; but Saul, in his passion for the children of Israel and Judah, had made an attempt on their lives:)

But all the chiefs said to the people, We have taken an oath to them by the Lord, the God of Israel, and so we may not put our hands on them.

Joshua 9:20
This is what we will do to them: we will not put them to death, for fear that wrath may come on us because of our oath to them.

Keep them living, and let them be servants, cutting wood and getting water for all the people. And all the people did as the chiefs had said to them.

Joshua 9:22
Then Joshua sent for them, and said to them, Why have you been false to us, saying, We are very far from you, when you are living among us?

Joshua 9:23
Now because of this you are cursed, and you will for ever be our servants, cutting wood and getting water for the house of my God.
