Josué 2:3

And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab ,.... Not merely because she kept a public house, or being a prostitute had often strangers in it, and so conjectured that the men he had notice of might be there; but he sent upon certain information that they were seen to go in there, as it follows:

saying, bring forth the men that are come to thee ; not to commit lewdness with her, though this is the sense some Jewish commentators give; but this neither agrees with the character of the men Joshua had chosen for this purpose, nor answers any end of the king to suggest; nor can it be thought that Rahab would so openly and freely own this, as in Joshua 2:4 , but what is meant by the phrase is explained in the following clause:

which are entered into thine house : in order to lodge there that night:

for they be come to search out all the country ; so it was suspected, nor was the suspicion groundless.
