Joshua 9:14-20

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Joshua 9:1-27

9. The Gibeonites CHAPTER 9 1. The confederacy of the enemies (Joshua 9:1-2 ) 2. The deception of the Gibeonites (Joshua 9:3-13 ) 3. The failure (Joshua 9:14-15 ) 4. The deception discovered (Joshua 9:16-27 ) Israel now comes face to face with the other inhabitants of the land. These enemies, which Israel encountered, are the types of our enemies, and the conflict of God’s earthly people is typical of our conflict. There is, however, a difference. Israel’s enemies were flesh and... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 9:1-27

ABIMELECH'SCONSPIRACY (vv. 1-6). Abimelech did not only forget his father's example, but deliberately chose a contrary path of proud self-pleasing. He wanted to rule over Israel and recognized that in order to do so he must find a following that would reject all 70 of Gideon's sons who were born to him by his wives. He therefore persuaded his mother's relatives to speak to the men of Shechem, asking them if is better that 70 of Gideon's sons should rule over them or just one (vv. 1-2). He... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Joshua 9:1-27

CONQUEST OF THE SOUTH THE COMPACT WITH THE GIBEONITES (Joshua 9:0 ) Joshua 9:1-2 are a general statement telling how the kings of the surrounding nations felt in view of Israel’s victories, and what they planned to do about it. The narrative then ends in order to describe the method of the Gibeonites, which differed from the others. We must again refer the student to the map in the back of his Bible for details as to the location of these nations. Gibeon will be discovered a little to the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Joshua 9:1-27

The Gibeonites Jos 9:2-27 IT would seem on reading this narrative that it can have no possible relation to our time and our circumstances. But God would never write a Bible which was to obliterate itself as the ages come and go. If he could have written such a Bible, surely some instruction might have been given as to the excision of the parts whose meaning has been exhausted. But the book remains in its entirety. It must therefore contain meanings which were not merely local. All that can be... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Joshua 9:7-14

The, deceit which the Gibeonites made use of, blinded the eyes of Israel. And it is astonishing it should, so: for in the close of the defeat of Ai, Joshua caused Israel to hear the command of God, that no covenant of peace was to be made with the inhabitants of Canaan, on any consideration whatever. See Deuteronomy 7:1-2 . Yet it is worth our observation at the same time, that certain provision for peace, the gracious Lord had made, concerning those nations, like Gibeon, who accepted overtures... read more
