Joshua - 9:2 Meaning
“That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
9:1-2 Hitherto the Canaanites had defended themselves, but here they consult to attack Israel. Their minds were blinded, and their hearts hardened to their destruction. Though often at enmity with each other, yet they united against Israel. Oh that Israel would learn of Canaanites, to sacrifice private interests to the public welfare, and to lay aside all quarrels among themselves, that they may unite against the enemies of God's kingdom!
“And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
