They are most notably recognized for their interaction with the Israelites during the conquest of Canaan under Joshua's leadership. The Gibeonites were Hivites, one of the Canaanite tribes, and their account is primarily recorded in the Book of Joshua. Deception and Covenant with Israel The Gibeonites are first introduced in <a href="/bsb/joshua/9.htm">Joshua 9</a>, where they employ a cunning strategy to secure a peace treaty with the Israelites. Aware of the Israelites' victories over Jericho and Ai, and fearing for their own survival, the Gibeonites resorted to deception. They disguised themselves as travelers from a distant land, wearing worn-out clothes and carrying moldy bread, to give the impression that they had come from far away. They approached Joshua and the leaders of Israel, seeking to make a covenant of peace. <a href="/joshua/9-14.htm">Joshua 9:14-15</a> states, "Then the men of Israel sampled their provisions, but did not seek the counsel of the LORD. And Joshua made a treaty of peace with them to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them." This passage highlights a critical moment where the Israelites, without consulting God, entered into a binding agreement with the Gibeonites. Servitude and Protection When the deception was uncovered, the Israelites honored their oath due to the sacredness of their promise before God, despite the Gibeonites' deceit. As a result, the Gibeonites were spared but were assigned to perpetual servitude. <a href="/joshua/9-27.htm">Joshua 9:27</a> records, "On that day he made them woodcutters and water carriers for the congregation and for the altar of the LORD at the place He would choose, and they remain to this day." The Gibeonites' servitude involved serving the needs of the tabernacle, which later became the temple, indicating their integration into the religious life of Israel. This servitude was both a punishment for their deception and a means of protection, as they were now under the covenantal protection of Israel. The Gibeonite War The Gibeonites' treaty with Israel provoked hostility from other Canaanite kings. In <a href="/bsb/joshua/10.htm">Joshua 10</a>, five Amorite kings formed an alliance to attack Gibeon. The Gibeonites appealed to Joshua for help, and the Israelites came to their aid. This led to the miraculous event where God intervened by causing the sun to stand still, allowing Israel to achieve a decisive victory. <a href="/joshua/10-13.htm">Joshua 10:13</a> states, "So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies." Saul's Breach and David's Atonement The Gibeonites reappear in <a href="/bsb/2_samuel/21.htm">2 Samuel 21</a> during the reign of King David. King Saul, in his zeal for Israel, had violated the covenant by attempting to annihilate the Gibeonites. This breach of the oath brought a famine upon Israel as divine retribution. David sought to rectify this by asking the Gibeonites how he might make atonement. The Gibeonites requested the execution of seven of Saul's descendants, which David granted, thus ending the famine. Significance The account of the Gibeonites underscores the importance of oaths and covenants in biblical theology, illustrating the consequences of both deception and the failure to seek divine guidance. It also highlights God's justice and mercy, as the Gibeonites, despite their initial deceit, were integrated into the community of Israel and served a role in its religious practices. The narrative serves as a reminder of the sanctity of promises made before God and the importance of seeking His counsel in all decisions.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>The Gibeonitesthe people of Gibeon, and perhaps also of the three cities associated with Gibeon, (<a href="/joshua/9-17.htm">Joshua 9:17</a>) --Hivites; and who, on the discover of the stratagem by which they had obtained the protection of the Israelites, were condemned to be perpetual bondmen, hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the house of God and altar of Jehovah.
