Answer: Zelophehad's
Zelophehad had no sons, only daughters. So when it came to handing out the land, they made sure they got their share. They went to Joshua and the leaders and said, "The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers." So, Joshua 17:4 reports, "Joshua gave them an inheritance along with the brothers of their father, according to the Lord's commands."

Answer: They cut wood and carried water
"So Joshua saved them from the Israelites, and they did not kill them. That day he made the Gibeonites woodcutters and water carriers for the community and for the altar of the Lord at the place the Lord would choose. And that is what they are to this day." (Joshua 9 v. 26-7)
With so many burnt offerings being made each year, one suspects that a woodcutter in the Temple was never under employed! It is, however, debateable whether the Gibeonites ever performed these duties in the Jerusalem temple or whether their role was limited to the local shrine at Gibeon. This had prominence during the reigns of Saul and David and was the scene of Solomon's famous dream on his ascension to the throne:
"Then Solomon spoke to all Israel - to the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, to the judges and to all the leaders in Israel, the heads of families - and Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon, for God's Tent of Meeting was there, which Moses the Lord's servant had made in the desert. ... That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, 'Ask for whatever you want me to give you. Solomon answered God, "You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place. ... Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?'" (2 Chronicles 1 v. 2-3, 7-8 and 10)

Answer: Shiloh
Joshua 18:1 of the New International Version tells us that The Tent of Meeting was placed at Shiloh when the Israelites first entered Canaan. However, after many years and many major wars, in the time of King David the Tent of Meeting was placed at Gilgal while the Ark of the Covenant was placed at Jerusalem. Maybe this signified division in later years.
