Josh 9:3-6


Joshua 9:3-6
KJV 3 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai, 4 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up; 5 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy. 6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.

The Holy Bible – Knox Translation
Joshua 9:3-6

3 except the people of Gabaon. These, when they learned how Josue had destroyed Jericho and Hai,

4 devised a policy of their own, and a crafty one. They provided themselves with food as if for a long journey, and this they put into old sacks, and their wine into skins that were tattered and patched, and loaded up their beasts with such things.

5 Their shoes were worn out, and cobbled as old shoes would be, their clothes threadbare, the very bread they took with them for the journey dry and crumbling.

6 In such guise, they made their way into the presence of Josue, who was then in camp at Galgal.To him, and to the assembly of Israel, they gave out that they had come from far away, to make an alliance. The Israelites were in doubt of them;

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

3 We are to share the gospel but it is up to them what to do when they receive it.

4 They provided for themselves, often times this world looks to self but we as Christians are to look to God to meet our needs, this doesn’t mean we aren’t to store up for times of need though.

5 When we do things on our own often times things fall apart. With us doing things in the Lord things come together.

6 They claimed they wanted to make a team and peace with Israel often times this world may use tricks but will do what ever they can to get ahead, we need to trust God and not this world.
