6. Thus they came unto Joshua to the camp at Gilgal and said unto him and to the men of Israel, We are come from a far country; now, therefore, make ye a covenant with us.
7. And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us, and how shall we make a covenant with you?
8. And they said unto Joshua, We are thy slaves. And Joshua said unto them, Who are you and where do you come from?
9. And they said unto him, From very far lands thy slaves are come because of the name of the Lord thy God, for we have heard the fame of him and all that he did in Egypt
10. and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side of the Jordan, and to Sihon, king of Heshbon, and to Og, king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.
11. Therefore, our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, Take provision with you for the journey and go to meet them and say unto them, We are your slaves; therefore, now make ye a covenant with us.
