Listen up, maggots! This here is Joshua Chapter 9! Now pay attention, you don't wanna miss a word. Now, the Gibeonites have heard about Joshua, so they come up with a plan to make a peace treaty with the Israelites. They disguise themselves as travelers and show up, bearing old clothes and worn out food. They tell Joshua and the Israelites that they've come from a distant land, and Joshua believes them.

So, he makes a treaty with them, not knowing that they are actually from a nearby city. But it's too late, the treaty's been made and Joshua won't break it. The Israelites are mad, but Joshua tells them to be quiet and let the treaty stand. So, that's Joshua Chapter 9 in a nutshell.
