Joshua 9: 7-11
But the Israelites replied to the Hivites, “You may be living in land that is ours. How, then, can we make a covenant with you?” 8. But they answered Joshua, “We are your servants.” Then Joshua asked them, “Who are you? Where do you come from?” 9. They answered him, “Your servants have come from a far-off land, because of the fame of the LORD, your God. For we have heard reports of all that he did in Egypt 10. and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites beyond the Jordan, Sihon, king of Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth. 11. So our elders and all the inhabitants of our land said to us, ‘Take along provisions for the journey and go to meet them. Say to them: “We are your servants; now make a covenant with us.”’
