And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.

Verse 26 is found in chapter 9 of Joshua. Three days later Israel discovers the deception. Nevertheless, the leaders uphold the oath because they had sworn by the name of the Lord. The Gibeonites are made servants associated with worship, responsible for providing wood and water. The tension between deception and the obligation of an oath shows that words spoken before God have consequences. Israel must face the consequences of its decision rather than treating the breaking of an oath as a convenient solution.

Und er tat ihnen also und errettete sie von der Kinder Israel Hand, daß sie sie nicht erwürgten.
Y él lo hizo así; que los libró de la mano de los hijos de Israel, para que no los matasen.
Así hizo con ellos: los libró de la mano de los hijos de Israel, y no los mataron.
Josué agit à leur égard comme il avait été décidé; il les délivra de la main des enfants d'Israël, qui ne les firent pas mourir;
Egli adunque fece loro così; e li scampò dalle mani de’ figliuoli d’Israele, sì che non li ammazzarono.
Assim pois lhes fez, e livrou-os das mãos dos filhos de Israel, e não os mataram.
於是 約書亞 就這樣對待他們,他救了他們脫離 以色列 人的手, 以色列 人沒有殺他們。
