Joshua 9:25-27

New Century Version

²⁵ Now you can decide what to do with us, whatever you think is right.”

²⁶ So Joshua saved their lives by not allowing the Israelites to kill them, ²⁷ but he made the Gibeonites slaves. They cut wood and carried water for the Israelites, and they did it for the altar of the Lord—wherever he chose it to be. They are still doing this today.
