The reputation and the intent of the Israelites continued to grow stronger by the day. If God is for us, who can be against us? I guess that is what drove the Gibeonites to deceive the leaders of Israel. They say the necessity is the mother of invention and the ruse they devised was second to none. The only catch was if the leaders were smart enough to ask the Lord if they were legit. To use an other cliche, you can't judge a book by its cover and the same with bread. They had nothing to lose and everything to gain so they pull out all of the stops, and bought their lives with their deception.
To say that all you will be is laborers for the rest of your lives is better than being totally eliminated. I guess it's a foreshadowing of Psalm 27. It is a small price to pay it the grand scheme of things.
Also glad to see that my follower's sister is recovering from her car injury. I will pray for her this morning...
