Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Joshua 9:6

And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.The camp at Gilgal — The place of their head-quarters.Men of Israel — To those who used to meet in council with Joshua, to whom it belonged to make leagues, even the princes of the congregation.Now therefore — Because we are not of this people, whom, as we are informed, you are obliged utterly to destroy. read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Joshua 9:7

And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?The Hivites — That is, the Gibeonites who were Hivites, Joshua 11:19.Among us — That is, in this land, and so are of that people with whom we are forbidden to make any league or covenant. read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Joshua 9:8

And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?Thy servants — We desire a league with you upon your own terms; we are ready to accept of any conditions.From whence came ye — For this free and general concession gave Joshua cause to suspect that they were Canaanites. read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Joshua 9:9

And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,Name of the Lord — Being moved thereunto by the report of his great and glorious nature and works; so 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... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 9:6

[6. The camp at Gilgal In the absence of any hint that this was altogether a different place from the Gilgal near Jericho, where Joshua first pitched his camp, it seems rather arbitrary and unnecessary, with Keil and Van de Velde, to maintain that this Gilgal must be identified with the modern Jiljilia, in the mountains of Ephraim. If, after the capture of Ai, or after the memorial service at Mount Ebal, Joshua had pitched his camp in a new spot, and especially at another place bearing the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 9:7

7. Said unto the Hivites The inhabitants of Gibeon were Hivites. See Joshua 11:19. Peradventure ye dwell among us The suspicions of the Hebrews are awakened, as they well might have been, Their Canaanitish speech must have betrayed them. How shall we make a league with you? This question strongly implies the impossibility of such an act, because it had been expressly forbidden, (Exodus 23:32; Exodus 34:12; Deuteronomy 7:2,) on the ground of the ensnaring and corrupting influence of... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 9:8

8. We are thy servants This expression hardly implies that these Gibeonites anticipated their destiny of serfdom, as some suppose; it is rather a common oriental mode of speech by which inferiors becomingly address a superior. Compare Genesis 43:28; Genesis 44:7. Who are ye? Joshua seeks to draw from them their nationality and their country, but he is baffled by their vague reply. read more
