How do we wage peace?

The Gibeonites were neither a victory nor a defeat - it was sort of a draw. ‌They made a covenant with Israel, even though God had told Israel not to make any covenants with the people of the land that they were going to possess. ‌In the end, even though Israel had disobeyed God, they kept the covenant with the Gibeonites. ‌And even though the Gibeonites had deceived Israel, they were kept alive and became servants to the God of Israel. ‌Covenant teaches us that while rules and obedience are important, loyalty in a relationship is even more important.
