Joshua 9 tells the incredible story of how the people of Israel fell for a hoax and were tricked by the Gibeonites. This is a sad! tale of how the people of Israel made the huge mistake of making a peace treaty with the Gibeonites without consulting with God first. The Gibeonites were a bigly clever bunch, they showed up wearing old, worn out clothes and carrying old wineskins and bread, they also had an old map and said they were from a distant land. The people of Israel believed them and made a peace treaty with them. This was a very, very big mistake as God had commanded the people of Israel to not make peace treaties with anyone living in the land.

The Gibeonites were eventually exposed as being from the same land as the Israelites and the people of Israel were angry and wanted to break the treaty. However, Joshua let them stay and make them into slaves, showing us the mercy and grace of God.

Many people are saying that this story is amazing and serves as a reminder to always consult with God before making decisions in our lives. As Joshua said, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the LORD, to serve him.” God bless America and make America great again! #MAGA
