Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.
Por eso nuestros ancianos y toda la gente de nuestra tierra nos dijeron: 'Tomen provisiones para el viaje, y vayan a encontrarlos. Díganles: Somos sus siervos; por favor hagan un pacto con nosotros.'
Los gabaonitas fingieron venir de tierras lejanas para engañar a Israel y conseguir un pacto de paz.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse is part of the Gibeonites' deceptive plan to avoid destruction by the Israelites. The Gibeonites lived nearby in Canaan but pretended to be from a distant country, using old bread, worn-out clothes, and patched wineskins to make it seem like they had traveled far. They knew God had commanded Israel to destroy the Canaanite peoples, so they devised this ruse to save their lives by making a peace treaty.
