Joshua 10:2Word of YahwehThat they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty. See the chapter |
And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that Yahweh thy Elohim commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
