Joshua 9:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ We are your servants, and we live far from here. We came because the Lord your God is so famous. We heard what the Lord did in Egypt ^10 (A) and what he did to those two Amorite kings on the other side of the Jordan: King Og of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, and King Sihon of Heshbon.

¹¹ Our leaders and everyone who lives in our country told us to meet with you and tell you that all of us are your servants. They said to ask you to make a peace treaty with our people. They told us to be sure and take along enough food for our journey.
