The king summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them.( Now the Gibeonites were not a part of Israel but were survivors of the Amorites; the Israelites had sworn to spare them, but Saul in his zeal for Israel and Judah had tried to annihilate them.) (niv)

However, when the people of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,they resorted to a ruse: They went as a delegation whose donkeys were loaded with worn-out sacks and old wineskins, cracked and mended.They put worn and patched sandals on their feet and wore old clothes. All the bread of their food supply was dry and moldy.Then they went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal and said to him and the Israelites,“ We have come from a distant country; make a treaty with us.”The Israelites said to the Hivites,“ But perhaps you live near us, so how can we make a treaty with you?”“ We are your servants,” they said to Joshua. But Joshua asked,“ Who are you and where do you come from?”They answered:“ Your servants have come from a very distant country because of the fame of the Lord your God. For we have heard reports of him: all that he did in Egypt,and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan— Sihon king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth.And our elders and all those living in our country said to us,‘ Take provisions for your journey; go and meet them and say to them,“ We are your servants; make a treaty with us.”’This bread of ours was warm when we packed it at home on the day we left to come to you. But now see how dry and moldy it is.And these wineskins that we filled were new, but see how cracked they are. And our clothes and sandals are worn out by the very long journey.”The Israelites sampled their provisions but did not inquire of the Lord.Then Joshua made a treaty of peace with them to let them live, and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath.Three days after they made the treaty with the Gibeonites, the Israelites heard that they were neighbors, living near them.So the Israelites set out and on the third day came to their cities: Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth and Kiriath Jearim.But the Israelites did not attack them, because the leaders of the assembly had sworn an oath to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. The whole assembly grumbled against the leaders,but all the leaders answered,“ We have given them our oath by the Lord, the God of Israel, and we cannot touch them now.This is what we will do to them: We will let them live, so that God’s wrath will not fall on us for breaking the oath we swore to them.”They continued,“ Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water carriers in the service of the whole assembly.” So the leaders’ promise to them was kept.Then Joshua summoned the Gibeonites and said,“ Why did you deceive us by saying,‘ We live a long way from you,’ while actually you live near us?You are now under a curse: You will never be released from service as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”They answered Joshua,“ Your servants were clearly told how the Lord your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you the whole land and to wipe out all its inhabitants from before you. So we feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we did this.We are now in your hands. Do to us whatever seems good and right to you.”So Joshua saved them from the Israelites, and they did not kill them.That day he made the Gibeonites woodcutters and water carriers for the assembly, to provide for the needs of the altar of the Lord at the place the Lord would choose. And that is what they are to this day. (niv)

Next to him, Ezer son of Jeshua, ruler of Mizpah, repaired another section, from a point facing the ascent to the armory as far as the angle of the wall. (niv)

I also said to him,“ If it pleases the king, may I have letters to the governors of Trans-Euphrates, so that they will provide me safe-conduct until I arrive in Judah?And may I have a letter to Asaph, keeper of the royal park, so he will give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel by the temple and for the city wall and for the residence I will occupy?” And because the gracious hand of my God was on me, the king granted my requests. (niv)

Then King Asa brought all the men of Judah, and they carried away from Ramah the stones and timber Baasha had been using. With them he built up Geba and Mizpah. (niv)
