Joshua 9:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ They answered, “Your servants have arrived from a very distant land, because of the reputation^[a] of the Lord your God, because we’ve heard a report about all that he did in Egypt, ¹⁰ along with all of what he did to the two Amorite kings who were beyond the Jordan River—that is, to King Sihon of Heshbon and to King Og of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth. ¹¹ So our leaders and all of the inhabitants of our country told us, ‘Take provisions along with you for your journey, go to meet them, and tell them, “We are your servants. Come now and make a treaty with us.”’
