Joshua 9:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And the children of Israel removed the camp, and came into their cities on the third day, the names of which are Gabaon, and Caphira, and Beroth, and Cariathiarim.

¹⁸ And they slew them not, because the princes of the multitude had sworn in the name of the Lord the God of Israel. Then all the common people murmured against the princes.

¹⁹ And they answered them: We have sworn to them in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, and therefore we may not touch them.
