The princes of the congregation swore to them.At the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they lived among them.The children of Israel traveled and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath Jearim.The children of Israel didn’t strike them, because the princes of the congregation had sworn to them by Yahweh, the God of Israel. All the congregation murmured against the princes.But all the princes said to all the congregation,“ We have sworn to them by Yahweh, the God of Israel. Now therefore we may not touch them.We will do this to them, and let them live; lest wrath be on us, because of the oath which we swore to them.”
