Josué 9:3 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 9:3

And when the inhabitants of Gibeon
A large and royal city, a metropolitan one, which had three others belonging to it, and under it, mentioned ( Joshua 9:17 ) ; see ( Joshua 10:2 ) ; no mention is made of any king over them, perhaps they were governed by elders, ( Joshua 9:11 ) . Though an Arabic writer F8 says, the king of Gibeon wrote to Joshua, and desired security, and sent him large gifts, whom having preserved in safety, Joshua placed on his throne: when these

heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai;
had taken the one in a miraculous way, and the other by a stratagem, and had burnt them both, destroyed the inhabitants, plundered their substance, and slew both their kings, all which struck them with terror.

Josué 9:3 In-Context

1 Los gabaonitas engañan a Israel
Ahora bien, todos los reyes que estaban al occidente del río Jordán se enteraron de lo que había sucedido. Eran los reyes de los hititas, amorreos, cananeos, ferezeos, heveos y jebuseos, quienes vivían en la zona montañosa, en las colinas occidentales
y a lo largo de la costa del mar Mediterráneo
hasta las montañas del Líbano, al norte.
2 Esos reyes unieron sus tropas para pelear como un solo ejército contra Josué y los israelitas.
3 Sin embargo, cuando los habitantes de Gabaón oyeron lo que Josué había hecho a Jericó y a la ciudad de Hai,
4 recurrieron al engaño para salvarse la vida. Enviaron a unos representantes ante Josué y, sobre sus asnos, cargaron alforjas desgastadas y odres viejos y remendados.
5 Se pusieron ropa harapienta y se calzaron sandalias gastadas y remendadas. Además, llevaban pan seco y mohoso.
