Joshua 9:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁶ But when three days had passed after they had made a treaty with them, they heard that they were their neighbours and were living among them. ¹⁷ So the Israelites set out and reached their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim. ¹⁸ But the Israelites did not attack them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. Then all the congregation murmured against the leaders.
