Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 9:1 ¶ And when the kings of the Amorites on the other side of Jordan, who were in the mountain country, and in the plain, and in all the coast of the great sea, and those who were near Antilibanus, and the Hittites{gr.Chettites}, and the Canaanites{gr.Chananites}, and the Perizzites{gr.Pherezites}, and the Hivites{gr.Evites}, and the Amorites, and the Girgashites{gr.Gergesites}, and the Jebusites, heard [of it],

 9:1 ¶ And it came to pass,º when allº the kingsº whichº [were] on this sideº Jordan,º in the hills,º and in the valleys,º and in allº the coastsº of the greatº seaº overº againstº Lebanon,º the Hittite,º and the Amorite,º the Canaanite,º the Perizzite,º the Hivite,º and the Jebusite,º heardºº [thereof];

 9:2 they came all together at the same time to make war against Joshua{gr.Jesus} and Israel.

 9:2 That they gatheredºº themselvesº together,º to fightºº withº Joshuaº and withº Israel,º with oneº accord.º

 9:3 ¶ And the inhabitants of Gibeon{gr.Gabaon} heard of all that the Lord did to Jericho and Ai{gr.Gai}.

 9:3 ¶ And when the inhabitantsºº of Gibeonº heardººº whatº Joshuaº had doneºº unto Jerichoº and to Ai,º

 9:4 And they also wrought craftily, and they went and made provision and prepared themselves; and having taken old sacks on their shoulders, and old and rent and patched bottles of wine,

 9:4 Theyº did workºº wilily,º and wentººº and made as if they had been ambassadors,ºº and tookºº oldº sacksº upon their asses,º and wineº bottles,º old,º and rent,ºº and bound up;ºº

 9:5 and the upper part of their shoes and their sandals old and clouted on their feet, and their garments old upon them-- and the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy and corrupt.

 9:5 And oldº shoesº and cloutedºº upon their feet,º and oldº garmentsº uponº them; and allº the breadº of their provisionº was dryºº [and] mouldy.º

 9:6 And they came to Joshua{gr.Jesus} into the camp of Israel to Gilgal{gr.Galgala}, and said to Joshua{gr.Jesus} and Israel, We are come from a far land: now then make a covenant with us.

 9:6 And they wentººº toº Joshuaº untoº the campº at Gilgal,º and saidºº untoº him, and toº the menº of Israel,º We be comeºº from a farº country:ººº nowº therefore makeºº ye a leagueº with us.

 9:7 And the children of Israel said to the Horite{gr.Chorrhaean}, Peradventure thou dwellest amongst us; and how should I make a covenant with thee?

 9:7 And the menº of Israelº saidºº untoº the Hivites,º Peradventureº yeº dwellºº amongº us; and howº shall we makeºº a leagueº with you?

 9:8 And they said to Joshua{gr.Jesus}, We are thy servants: and Joshua{gr.Jesus} said to them, Whence are ye, and whence have ye come?

 9:8 And they saidºº untoº Joshua,º Weº [are] thy servants.º And Joshuaº saidºº untoº them, Whoº [are] ye?º and from whenceºº comeºº ye?

 9:9 And they said, Thy servants are come from a very far country in the name of the Lord thy God: for we have heard his name, and all that he did in Mizraim{gr.Egypt},

 9:9 And they saidºº untoº him, From a veryº farº countryºººº thy servantsº are comeºº because of the nameº of Yahwehº thy Elohim:º forº we have heardºº the fameº of him, and allº thatº he didºº in Egypt,º

 9:10 and all that he did to the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, to Sihon{gr.Seon} king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan{gr.Basan}, who dwelt in Ashtaroth{gr.Astaroth} and in Edrain.

 9:10 And allº thatº he didºº to the twoº kingsº of the Amorites,º thatº [were] beyondº Jordan,º to Sihonº kingº of Heshbon,º and to Ogº kingº of Bashan,º whichº [was] at Ashtaroth.º

 9:11 And our elders and all that inhabit our land when they heard spoke to us, saying, Take to yourselves provision for the way, and go to meet them; and ye shall say to them, We are thy servants, and now make a covenant with us.

 9:11 Wherefore our eldersº and allº the inhabitantsºº of our countryº spakeºº toº us, saying,ºº Takeºº victualsº with youº for the journey,º and goººº to meetºº them, and sayºº untoº them, Weº [are] your servants:º therefore nowº makeºº ye a leagueº with us.

 9:12 These [are] the loaves-- we took them hot for our journey on the day on which we came out to come to you; and now they are dried and become mouldy.

 9:12 Thisº our breadº we took hotº [for] our provisionºº out of our housesºº on the dayº we came forthºº to goººº untoº you; but now,º behold,º it is dry,ºº and it isº mouldy:º

 9:13 And these [are] the skins of wine which we filled when new, and they are rent; and our garments and our shoes are worn out because of the very long journey.

 9:13 And theseº bottlesº of wine,º whichº we filled,ºº [were] new;º and, behold,º they be rent:ºº and theseº our garmentsº and our shoesº are become oldºº by reason of the veryº longºº journey.º

 9:14 And the chiefs took of their provision, and asked not [counsel of] the Lord.

 9:14 And the menºº tookºº of their victuals,ºº and askedºº notº [counsel] at the mouthº of Yahweh.º

 9:15 And Joshua{gr.Jesus} made peace with them, and they made a covenant with them to preserve them; and the princes of the congregation sware to them.

 9:15 And Joshuaº madeºº peaceº with them, and madeººº a leagueº with them, to let them live:ºº and the princesº of the congregationº swareºº unto them.

 9:16 ¶ And it came to pass three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were near neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.

 9:16 ¶ And it came to passº at the endºº of threeº daysº afterºº they had madeºº a leagueº with them, that they heardºº thatº theyº [were] theirº neighbours,º and [that] theyº dweltºº amongº them.

 9:17 And the children of Israel departed and came to their cities; and their cities [were] Gibeon{gr.Gabaon}, and Kephira, and Berot, and the cities of Jarin.

 9:17 And the childrenº of Israelº journeyed,ºº and cameºº untoº their citiesº on the thirdº day.º Now their citiesº [were] Gibeon,º and Chephirah,º and Beeroth,º and Kirjathjearim.º

 9:18 And the children of Israel fought not with them, because all the princes sware to them by the Lord God of Israel; and all the congregation murmured at the princes.

 9:18 And the childrenº of Israelº smoteºº them not,º becauseº the princesº of the congregationº had swornºº unto them by Yahwehº Elohimº of Israel.º And allº the congregationº murmuredºº againstº the princes.º

 9:19 And the princes said to all the congregation: We have sworn to them by the Lord God of Israel, and now we shall not be able to touch them.

 9:19 But allº the princesº saidºº untoº allº the congregation,º Weº have swornºº unto them by Yahwehº Elohimº of Israel:º nowº therefore we mayºº notº touchºº them.

 9:20 This we will do; take them alive, and we will preserve them: so there shall not be wrath against us by reason of the oath which we swore to them.

 9:20 Thisº we will doºº to them; we will even let them live,ººº lestº wrathº beº uponº us, because ofº the oathº whichº we swareºº unto them.

 9:21 They shall live, and shall be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the princes said to them.

 9:21 And the princesº saidºº untoº them, Let them live;ºº but let them beº hewersºº of woodº and drawersºº of waterº unto allº the congregation;º asº the princesº had promisedºº them.

 9:22 ¶ And Joshua{gr.Jesus} called them together and said to them, Why have ye deceived me, saying, We live very far from you; whereas ye are fellow-countrymen of those who dwell among us?

 9:22 ¶ And Joshuaº calledºº for them, and he spakeºº untoº them, saying,ºº Whereforeº have ye beguiledºº us, saying,ºº Weº [are] veryº farº fromº you; when yeº dwellºº amongº us?

 9:23 And now ye are cursed: there shall not fail of you a slave, or a hewer of wood, or a drawer of water to me and my God.

 9:23 Nowº therefore yeº [are] cursed,ºº and there shall noneº ofº you be freedºº from being bondmen,º and hewersºº of woodº and drawersºº of waterº for the houseº of my Elohim.º

 9:24 And they answered Joshua{gr.Jesus}, saying, It was reported to us what the Lord thy God charged his servant Mosheh{gr.Moses}, to give you this land, and to destroy us and all that dwelt on it from before you; and we feared very much for our lives because of you, and [therefore] we did this thing.

 9:24 And they answeredººº Joshua,º and said,ºº Becauseº it was certainlyºº toldºº thy servants,ºº how thatº Yahwehº thy Elohimº commandedºº his servantºº Mosesº to giveºº you allº the land,º and to destroyººº allº the inhabitantsºº of the landº from beforeºº you, therefore we were soreº afraidºº of our livesº becauseº ofºº you, and have doneººº thisº thing.º

 9:25 And now, behold, we [are] in your power; do to us as it is pleasing to you, and as it seems [good] to you.

 9:25 And now,º behold,º weº [are] in thine hand:º as it seemethº goodº and rightº unto theeº to doºº unto us, do.ºº

 9:26 Land they did so to them; and Joshua{gr.Jesus} rescued them in that day out of the hands of the children of Israel, and they did not slay them.

 9:26 And soº didºº he unto them, and deliveredºº them out of the handºº of the childrenº of Israel,º that they slewºº them not.º

 9:27 And Joshua{gr.Jesus} made them in that day hewers of wood and drawers of water to the whole congregation, and for the altar of God: therefore the inhabitants of Gibeon{gr.Gabaon} became hewers of wood and drawers of water for the altar of God until this day, even for the place which the Lord should choose.

 9:27 And Joshuaº madeºº them thatº dayº hewersºº of woodº and drawersºº of waterº for the congregation,º and for the altarº of Yahweh,º even untoº thisº day,º inº the placeº whichº he should choose.ºº
