if ye will do this, with an oath, ye shall not be destroyed;

that my armies shall come down against you,

and they shall not stay their hand and shall spare not,

but shall slay you, and shall let fall the sword upon you

even until ye shall become extinct.

and we will not go against them,

but we will wait till they shall come against us;

therefore as the Lord liveth,

if we do this he will deliver them into our hands.

that they could cause them to yield themselves up according to their wishes.

and enter into a covenant that they would murder no more

were set at liberty.
