The Book of Joshua Chapter 9-10 (7 of 15)

spread of Joshua's fame as the leader of God's people,
now the enemies of God and of Israel devised a plan to
fight against Israel-until they heard what happened to
Ai. Now they realize that to attack Israel would be

8 And they said unto Joshua, We [are] thy servants.
And Joshua said unto them, Who [are] ye? and from

They said, "we are your slaves, we are your subjects,
just make a league with us." Joshua comes and ask the
twofold question, "who are you and where do you come
from?"
