Well folks, in Joshua 9, things get a little complicated. We've got the Gibeonites, who you might remember from previous chapters, and they come up with a scheme to fool the Israelites into making a peace covenant with them. It doesn't work, but the Israelites make the covenant anyway, and then they find out they've been tricked. And they don't take it well, to say the least. But, as it turns out, God isn't too pleased either, so the Israelites are forced to keep the covenant. It's a pretty wild chapter and it really shows that even in the Bible, nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
