Joshua 9:24-26
New English Translation
24 They said to Joshua, “It was carefully reported to your subjects[a] how the Lord your God commanded Moses his servant to assign you the whole land and to destroy all who live in the land from before you. Because of you we were terrified[b] we would lose our lives, so we did this thing. 25 So now we are in your power.[c] Do to us what you think is good and appropriate.”[d] 26 Joshua did as they said; he kept the Israelites from killing them[e]
