Joshua 9:18-27
_ _ the children of Israel smote them not — The moral character of the Gibeonites’ stratagem was bad. The princes of the congregation did not vindicate either the expediency or the lawfulness of the connection they had formed; but they felt the solemn obligations of their oath; and, although the popular clamor was loud against them, caused either by disappointment at losing the spoils of Gibeon, or by displeasure at the apparent breach of the divine commandment, they determined to adhere to their pledge, “because they had sworn by the Lord God of Israel.” The Israelitish princes acted conscientiously; they felt themselves bound by their solemn promise; but to prevent the disastrous consequences of their imprudent haste, they resolved to degrade the Gibeonites to a servile condition as a means of preventing their people from being ensnared into idolatry, and thus acted up, as they thought, to the true spirit and end of the law. |
Joshua 9:18
Against the princes — Both from that proneness which is in people to censure the actions of their rulers; and from their desire of the spoil of these cities. |
