Overview

In "Treaty of Lies," The Chosen People podcast explores one of the most morally complex and dramatic episodes from the Book of Joshua.

It highlights the high stakes of ancient diplomacy, the tension between justice and mercy, and the ever-present need to seek divine guidance.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Political Pressure and the Aftermath of Conquest

• Joshua and his commanders discuss the political dangers posed by alliances among the Canaanite cities following their victories at Jericho and Ai ([00:36]).
• Joshua remains confident, encouraging his people with a battle cry and reminder of God's assurances:

  “Do not lose heart, brothers. The Lord has assured us of our victory over Ai. We will take the city and deal with the threats as they arise. Be strong and courageous. Rak Shazak Amatz.” – Joshua ([00:58])

• The Israelites ascend Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim to renew their covenant and honor God, illustrating the consistent intertwining of military action with spiritual observance ([01:26]).

2. Encounter with the Gibeonite Delegation

• Joshua is approached by a messenger regarding three weary travelers seeking an audience. Their appearance and demeanor seem harmless, but suspicion lingers ([04:16]–[06:26]).
• The travelers introduce themselves as ambassadors from a distant land:

  “I am Nakal Mahdi, your highness, and these are my companions… If it pleases you, my king.” – Nakal Mahdi ([06:38])

• Joshua questions their motives and origins, noting their efforts to appear humble and nonthreatening. The travelers deflect with humor and pleas for hospitality ([07:23]–[08:47]).
• Eventually, they beg for a treaty and swear allegiance, attempting to prove their long journey through their moldy bread, cracked wineskins, and worn clothing ([09:02]–[11:50]).

3. The Treaty is Made

• Joshua, convinced by their pleas and outward signs, decides to honor their request. The oath is formally sworn at the tabernacle, with bread and wine shared in hospitality ([13:03]):

  “I will honour your request. I will take you to the tabernacle where we will establish our peace and swear the oath you seek.” – Joshua ([13:03])

• This moment underscores the importance placed on hospitality and honoring one’s word, as well as the risks inherent in trusting appearances.

4. The Deception is Revealed

• Three days later, Rahab (an ally within the Israelite camp) provides a crucial revelation:

  “Those men, the ones we just made a treaty with? Their faraway country is not so far away as it turns out. They are Hivites. The men you met are from the city of Gibeon. They live only 20 miles from here.” – Rahab ([16:22])

• Joshua reacts with dismay and anger:

  “Those lying snakes. You must get them back here at once. How could I have let this happen? How could I have not sought the Lord?” – Joshua ([17:17])

• Caleb and Salmon confirm the truth by scouting Gibeon. Because of the sworn oath, Israel cannot attack Gibeon or its allies, leading to political and military complications ([17:57]).

5. Confrontation and Resolution

• Joshua summons the Gibeonites, who now face the entire Israelite assembly. Their ruse exposed, the mood shifts from survival-driven humility to shrewd defiance:

  “…the shrewd ambassador who was sent to deceive Israel into unknowingly sparing them from destruction… I bested you, bowed before your God, and ensured my people's survival. I came out on top.” – Narrator, reflecting Joshua's perception ([19:30])

• Nevertheless, Joshua upholds the oath but pronounces a curse:

  “We have sworn an oath to you by the Lord, the God of Israel. We cannot harm you. This is how it will be. You will live… But why did you deceive us… you are cursed and will always be slaves, woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.” – Joshua ([19:36])

• The Gibeonites confess their motives:

  “We spoke the truth. We just didn't tell you everything… We heard how [God] commanded Moses before you and now you, to give you this land and destroy all who lived here, who he feared for our lives.” – Nakal Mahdi ([20:50])

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the importance of discernment and seeking guidance:

  “How could I have not sought the Lord? Surely he would have illuminated these lies.” – Joshua ([17:17])

• On the severity of deception versus mercy due to an oath:

  “Lies may win the day. What if tomorrow see what your lies brought? You wanted to align yourself with our God? Now you will serve him forever.” – Joshua ([20:26])

• On confession and accepting consequences:

  “Now we are in your hands. Do to us whatever you think is right.” – Nakal Mahdi ([21:15])

[Joshua]

I'm no military mind like Joshua or Caleb here, but I dealt with the leaders of Moab, Edom and the others in the time of Moses. I know people and I know politics. What are the possibilities of a Canaanite alliance between A and its neighboring cities? What would we do should the cities of Bethel and Gibeon come to A's aid?

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

Do not lose heart, brothers. The Lord has assured us of our victory over AI. We will take the city and deal with the other threats as they arise. Keep the faith, for we know what tomorrow holds. Be strong and courageous. Rak Shazak Amatz. Rak Shazak Amatz.

[Narrator]

The city was unguarded and ripe for conquest.

Forward.

[Joshua]

Beat them back.

[Narrator]

Joshua turned his gaze toward the distant peaks of Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim, their rugged silhouettes etched against the horizon. He would lead his valiant men to those sacred heights and build an altar to honor the Lord the first in the land of Canaan. There, beneath the open sky and in the natural amphitheater between the two peaks, they would renew their covenant with the law of Moses, just as the Lord had commanded.

[Joshua]

General Joshua

[Narrator]

General Joshua Joshua whirled, his hand instinctively gripping his hunting knife while Salmon, walking beside him, reached for the hilt of his sword. The young messenger skidded to a halt in front of them, sending a spray of loose riverbank mud flying thankfully away from Joshua and Salmon.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

Are we under attack?

[Joshua]

No. But I was sent to find you right away.

[Narrator]

Joshua released his knife and loosed a sigh of relief.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

Peace then, my son. Calm down. Breathe. Tell me why they sent you.

[Narrator]

The boy had his hands on his knees then, breathing hard, Joshua fought back the urge to chuckle. Was this what he looked like when he came running down that hill to warn Moses of the Amalekite attack? After a moment, the boy continued with a more steady cadence.

[Joshua]

We have some visitors. They're representatives of some foreign land. They look like they've been traveling through. They want to meet with you.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

Do they come peacefully? Do they travel with armed men?

[Joshua]

No, it's just them. Not even a guard between them.

[Narrator]

Joshua cocked his head, exchanged a wary look with Salmon, and wondered who these mysterious travelers could be. To travel so far without a guard or protectors was strange. Indeed. Joshua was even more intrigued. Joshua motioned for the boy to lead the way, and the three men made their way from Joshua's favorite place to walk along the Jordan to his general's tent, where the visitors were being held outside by Israelite soldiers waiting for him. There were three of them, and they were warily eyeing the long spears in the soldier's hands. They were just as bedraggled as the boy made them sound. Their clothes were worn and faded from days by baking in the sun, and their cheeks were blotchy and red. They certainly seemed innocent enough and rather pathetic. As he approached, they bowed before him respectfully. A good start. They didn't seem to pose any threat at the time being ryus.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

Tell me, what are your names? Where do you come from? You appear to have traveled far.

[Narrator]

The one standing in the middle straightened first, though he stooped over as if his back were crooked.

[Joshua]

I am Nakal Mahdi, your highness, and these are my companions, Tadu Haba, and Hazibteta. If it pleases you, my king.

[Narrator]

This Nikol did not fully meet Joshua's eyes as he spoke, seemingly out of respect or reverence, and he spoke with a lilt Joshua could not place.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

I am not a king.

[Joshua]

But you are a king.

[Narrator]

Nikol met Joshua's eyes, and for a fleeting moment Joshua caught a glimpse of sharp cleverness he hadn't noticed before. But just as quickly the man lowered his gaze, resuming the appearance of a simple, humble traveler once more. Perhaps Nikol was someone of greater importance than he had let on.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

Tell me, Nikarmody, where are you from? Why have you sought out our camp?

[Joshua]

We come from a distant land. As you can see, we have traveled far. Why, I don't think our sandals could take another mile. Could we continue our discussion inside? And perhaps when we are through, we could visit your sandal maker. We. We would pay, of course.

[Narrator]

Joshua's eyes narrowed at this deflection, but they didn't seem to be posing a threat. The camp was heavily guarded and Joshua could certainly handle himself. And Salmon hadn't taken his hand off the hilt of his sword since the riverbank. He would make quick work of these men if they proved false. Joshua swept his eyes over their persons and belongings once more. Their donkeys were saddled with threadbare worn out sacks, and old wineskins, cracked and mended with FL fraying stitches, hung from the horn of the saddle. The men's cloaks were no better than their sandals or saddlebags. Worn and weathered, it reminded Joshua of his own tattered garments in the early days of the desert.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

I will invite you inside and see that you are treated as my guests. But first you must tell me your true purpose. We are a nation at war and amid a conquest. You can imagine my need for caution.

[Narrator]

Nikhal held up his hands in a submissive gesture and redoubled his effort to appear unassuming before Joshua and his soldiers.

[Joshua]

Of course, Joshua the Conqueror. Isn't it obvious? We have come to beg you to make a treaty with us.

[Narrator]

Joshua had to admit he was surprised at that. He subtly raised an eyebrow at Salman in silent question. Salmon's eyes narrowed slightly in answer.

[Sponsor Voice - Public/Investing]

What credentials do you have to prove

[Joshua]

you are who you say you are? Perhaps you are our neighbors and already live among us. How could we make a treaty with you? We are your servants. We have traveled here to make a treaty and swear an oath before your God. Would we go through all that trouble if we were your enemies?

[Narrator]

Joshua relented at that. There was no ring of falseness to the man's words. They didn't appear to present any immediate danger. And if they were who they said they were, he could not deny them their customs of hospitality. Joshua had an obligation to be an example to his people in that regard.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

You may enter my tent, and I will have servants wash the dust from your feet. We will then continue our discussion over bread and wine. I will not have it said that you were denied the hospitality of Israel if we had to become friends, as you say.

[Narrator]

At Joshua's words, servants sprang into action, helped the three travelers inside, and began to wash their feet while others set the low table. After the first sips were taken and bites were chewed, Joshua continued his line of questioning. Salmon still stood protectively beside Joshua.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

Now tell me truly who you are and where you've come from.

[Narrator]

Now Nikol set down his crust of bread, and his companions looked to him to answer for them. Nikol sighed before he answered, the weariness of the road still seemed to linger.

[Joshua]

Conqueror Joshua, we just Joshua. Joshua, we have come from a faraway land because of the reputation of of the Lord your God. We heard of his fame and all he did to the Amorite kings beyond the Jordan River. King Sihon and King Og. We have also heard all the miraculous and mysterious things he did in Egypt.

[Narrator]

Joshua noted that they omitted the recent victories of Jericho and AI. Surely if these men were from this country, news of such victories would have reached them by now. Salmons seem to be following the same thread.

[Joshua]

And you've heard no reports of our recent victories? More cities have fallen to your God. Tell us which cities have fallen we received no word in our travels.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

Jericho and AI have fallen. The camp you've come to is our base in the region. We have taken two cities, beaten back Bethel, and now control the ridge route. No word of this reached you on the road?

[Joshua]

Remarkable, truly. Praise to the God of Israel. This news makes us even more desperate to make a treaty with you. Yes, yes. Please, Joshua, allow us to be your servants. We ask for no land or wealth, just to be in your midst and under your protection in exchange for service. Go outside and look in our saddlebag. The bread we carry was warm when we took it from our houses as food on the day we set out to come to you. But go look now. It is dry and crumbly. And the wineskins on the saddles were new when we filled them, but now they are cracked. And these clothes and sandals of ours are completely worn from the extremely long journey. All the evidence you need is before your very eyes.

[Narrator]

Joshua considered their passionate plea and finally relented. If these foreigners were so determined to seek a treaty and clearly understood the might of the Lord, what harm would come of making the treaty? Perhaps it would be good for Israel to have a friend when the conquest was over.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

I will honour your request. I will take you to the tabernacle where we will establish our peace and swear the oath you seek. Once it is done, you can rest here to regain your strength before you return to your elders and tell them of our treaty.

[Narrator]

had passed since the strange encounter with Nikhil and his companions. They had left early that morning, eager to return to their country, or so Joshua had heard in the morning's report. He hadn't given them another thought since swearing the oath before the Lord. His mind had shifted back to war. Joshua sat hunched over the map spread across his low table, squinting in the dim candlelight of his tent. The flaps were pulled shut to block out the noise of the camp, allowing him to focus on the faint markings that detailed the variety of terrain surrounding the southern cities. But his concentration was abruptly broken as the flap of his tent flew open, flooding the space with blinding daylight and scattering his thoughts. It was Salmon and Rahab.

[Joshua]

Joshua, what is it?

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

Are we under attack?

[Joshua]

Apologies for the intrusion, General. I know you didn't want to be disturbed.

[Podcast Host]

But I have learned something that you will want to know.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

Tell me.

[Podcast Host]

Those men, the ones we just made a treaty with? Their faraway country is not so far away as it turns out. They are Hivites. The men you met are from the city of Gibeon. They live only 20 miles from here.

[Narrator]

Joshua swore under his breath and Salmon gave him a mildly surprised look, but quickly masked.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

You're sure? How did you learn this?

[Podcast Host]

I know you are aware of my former occupation. As you can imagine, I met a wide range of men. I have an ear for accents. I overheard them speaking to one another, and if that wasn't enough, when I drew closer to confirm my guess, I heard them. Congratulating themselves over a lie well spun. We have been deceived, General Joshua. Those men were not who they claimed to be.

[Narrator]

Anger surged in Joshua at this deception.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

Those lying snakes. You must get them back here at once. How could I have let this happen? They danced around my questions. How could I have not sought the Lord? Surely he would have illuminated these lies. Gibeon is 20 miles from here. Get Caleb and take a detachment of men with you. See if you can intercept them on the road. Wait. No. First go and confirm what Rahab heard. Stay hidden. Scout the cities. Yes, Right away. Joshua. I wanted to confirm that we just made a treaty with Gibeon. I need to know exactly who we've aligned ourselves with.

[Narrator]

Caleb and Salmon had scouted the land of Gibeon and confirmed Rahab's discovery. Gibeon was one of a three city alliance of the Hivites, Gibeon, Chephyra, Baroth and Kiriad Jaharim. And because of Joshua's ill informed treaty with them, they could not attack the cities without breaking the oath. Instead, Joshua sent a summons to the king and demanded that the representatives be sent back to him to answer for their deception. Joshua stood tall, the full weight of the tabernacle and his leadership behind him. With all of Israel gathered as witnesses, the three men knelt, unsure before him. They knew Joshua could not harm them. An oath sworn before the Lord bound him. But they also knew anger had a way of revealing terrifying loopholes in treaties. Nikol, however, was no longer the bowing, humble servant. Though still stooped by his twisted back, he met Joshua's gaze squarely, man to man. The shrewd ambassador who was sent to deceive Israel into unknowingly sparing them from destruction. His head tilted slightly to the side, his expression a silent challenge. It seemed to say, I bested you,

[Joshua]

bowed before your God, and ensured my people's survival. I came out on top.

[Narrator]

Joshua's anger burned, but he would not let his integrity bow to emotion.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

We have sworn an oath to you by the Lord, the God of Israel. We cannot harm you. This is how it will be. You will live, so no wrath will fall on us for breaking the oath we swore to you. But why did you deceive us, claiming you live far away and you were actually our neighbor? Because of this, you are cursed and will always be slaves, woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.

[Narrator]

Joshua took quiet satisfaction in watching Nikol's smug expression falter, uncertainty draining the color from his face. The man who had gambled everything for his people's freedom now a slave. Joshua mirrored Nikol's tilted head, his eyes hard as he sent his own silent message.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

Lies may win the day. What if tomorrow see what your lies brought? You wanted to align yourself with our God? Now you will serve him forever.

[Narrator]

Joshua recognized the look of one defeated immediately, the hollow eyes, the slumped shoulders. He'd seen it time and time again in opponents who knew they were beaten.

[Joshua]

We spoke the truth. We just didn't tell you everything. We heard the stories of your God and all he promised to your people. We heard how he commanded Moses before you and now you, to give you this land and destroy all who lived here, who he feared for our lives.

[Joshua (Dialogue Voice)]

That's why.

[Joshua]

Why we deceived you. Now we are in your hands. Do to us whatever you think is right.
