Joshua 9:3 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai, The inhabitants of Gibeon heard - These alone did not join the confederation. Gibeon is supposed to have been the capital of the Hivites. In the division of the land it fell to the lot of Benjamin, Joshua 18:25, and was afterwards given to the priests, Joshua 21:17. See the note on Joshua 10:2.
