JOSHUA CHAPTER 9 The kings of Canaan hear of Joshua's exploits; consult together, and conclude to fight against Israel, Joshua 9:1,2. The Gibeonites, feigning themselves to be of a far country, obtain a league, Joshua 9:3. The craft is discovered; the promise which was confirmed with an oath remains firm, Joshua 9:16. But for a punishment they are condemned to perpetual slavery, Joshua 9:21. No text from Poole on this verse.
