BRAGADAYJAH 647
After that, it happened that when
all the kings which were on the other side of the Jordan, in the hills and in
the valleys and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the
Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites
heard of the way Joshua dealt with the king of Ai, they gathered themselves
together to fight with Joshua and with Israel with one accord. Also when the inhabitants of Gideon heard
what Joshua had done unto Gideon and Ai, they decided to approach Joshua with
guile. And went to him pretending to be ambassadors, and took old sacks upon
their asses, and old wine bottles, with old shoes and clothes upon their person
and on their feet and their provisions of bread dry and moldy. And they went to
Joshua and the congregation of Israel pretending they had come from a far country
and willing to make a league with them.
