So they answered Joshua and said, "Because it was certainly told your servants that the LORD your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you; therefore we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
"Now behold, we are in your hands; do as it seems good and right in your sight to do to us."
Thus he did to them, and delivered them from the hands of the sons of Israel, and they did not kill them.
