Joshua 9:6. Unto the camp to Gilgal Joshua’s headquarters. And said to the men of Israel To those that used to meet in council with Joshua, to whom it belonged to make leagues, namely, the princes of the congregation.

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 9:7-8

Joshua 9:7-8. The men of Israel said to the Hivites That is, the Gibeonites, who were Hivites, Joshua 11:19. Peradventure you dwell among us That is, in this land, and so are of that people with whom we are forbidden to make any league or covenant. They said We are thy servants We desire a league with you upon your own terms; we are ready to accept of any conditions. Joshua said, From whence come ye?

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 9:9

Joshua 9:9. Because of the Lord thy God Being moved thereunto by the report of his great and glorious nature and works. Thus they gave them hopes that they would embrace their religion. In Egypt They cunningly mention those things only which were done some time ago, and say nothing of dividing Jordan, or the destruction of Jericho and Ai, as if they lived so far off that the fame of those things had not yet reached them. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 9:15

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Joshua 9:1-27

Victory in central Canaan (8:1-9:27)Now that the Israelites had removed the cause of their defeat, God promised Joshua victory over Ai. He added that on this occasion the Israelites could keep the plunder for themselves (8:1-2).Even with God’s assurance of victory, Joshua planned the attack thoroughly. One company of soldiers was to draw the men of Ai out of the city to fight, then a second company would come out of hiding to attack Ai from the rear (3-9). The plan worked perfectly. When the... read more
