Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joshua 10:3-4

_ _ Wherefore Adoni-zedek ... sent, ... saying, Come up unto me, and help me — A combined attack was meditated on Gibeon, with a view not only to punish its people for their desertion of the native cause, but by its overthrow to interpose a barrier to the farther inroads of the Israelites. This confederacy among the mountaineers of Southern Palestine was formed and headed by the king of Jerusalem, because his territory was most exposed to danger, Gibeon being only six miles distant, and because he evidently possessed some degree of pre-eminence over his royal neighbors.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 10:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joshua 10:3

Adoni — zedek sent — Either because he was superior to them, or because he was nearest the danger, and most forward in the work.
