“ As I live, declares the Lord God, surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant with him he broke, in Babylon he shall die.Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not help him in war, when mounds are cast up and siege walls built to cut off many lives.He despised the oath in breaking the covenant, and behold, he gave his hand and did all these things; he shall not escape.Therefore thus says the Lord God: As I live, surely it is my oath that he despised, and my covenant that he broke. I will return it upon his head.I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon and enter into judgment with him there for the treachery he has committed against me.

And Joshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them, to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore to them.At the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbors and that they lived among them.And the people of Israel set out and reached their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.But the people of Israel did not attack them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. Then all the congregation murmured against the leaders.But all the leaders said to all the congregation,“ We have sworn to them by the Lord, the God of Israel, and now we may not touch them.This we will do to them: let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath that we swore to them.”
