From a very far country

on Joshua 9:9-10

They credit the name of the Lord thy God, cite Egypt and the two kings east of Jordan, and stop there. Verse 3 says what they actually heard was Jericho and Ai, so the recent news is exactly what they leave out, since a traveller months from home could not yet carry it. Rahab's confession at 2:9-10 names the same two items, the drying of the Red Sea and Sihon and Og, which makes this speech a copy of a true one.

when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard--This town, as its name imports, was situated on a rocky eminence, about six miles northwest from Jerusalem, where the modern village of El Jib now stands. It was the capital of the Hivites, and a large important city (Jos 10:2).
