Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joshua 10:9

_ _ Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly — This is explained in the following clause, where he is described as having accomplished, by a forced march of picked men, in one night, a distance of twenty-six miles, which, according to the slow pace of Eastern armies and caravans, had formerly been a three days’ journey (Joshua 9:17).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 10:7-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joshua 10:9

Came suddenly — Though assured by God of the victory, yet he uses all prudent means. All night — It is not said, that he went from Gilgal to Gibeon in a night's space; but only that he travelled all night; unto which you may add part either of the foregoing or of the following day. It is true, God had promised, that he would without fail deliver the enemies into his hand. But God's promises are intended, not to slacken, but to quicken our endeavours. He that believeth doth not make haste, to anticipate providence; but doth make haste to attend it, with a diligent, not a distrustful speed.
