Joshua 9:25-27
EasyEnglish Bible
25 Now we are under your power. You must decide what to do with us. Do whatever you think is right and good.’
26 So Joshua agreed. He did not let the Israelites kill the Gibeonites. 27 Instead, they made the Gibeonites cut wood and fetch water, as servants for the Israelite people. They would also do this for the priests who served the Lord at his altar. They are still doing this, at the place that the Lord has chosen for his altar.
