Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joshua 10:6-8

_ _ Joshua 10:6-9. Joshua rescues it.

_ _ the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua — Their appeal was urgent and their claim to protection irresistible, on the ground, not only of kindness and sympathy, but of justice. In attacking the Canaanites, Joshua had received from God a general assurance of success (Joshua 1:5). But the intelligence of so formidable a combination among the native princes seems to have depressed his mind with the anxious and dispiriting idea that it was a chastisement for the hasty and inconsiderate alliance entered into with the Gibeonites. It was evidently to be a struggle of life and death, not only to Gibeon, but to the Israelites. And in this view the divine communication that was made to him was seasonable and animating. He seems to have asked the counsel of God and received an answer, before setting out on the expedition.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 10:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joshua 10:6

Slack not thy hand — Do not neglect or delay to help us. Whom thou art obliged to protect both in duty as thou art our master; and by thy owns interest, we being part of thy possessions; and in ingenuity, because we have given ourselves to thee, and put ourselves under thy protection. In the mountains — ln the mountainous country.
