This site's exposition

Your servants have come from a very distant land

on Joshua 9:9-10

They credit “the fame of the LORD your God”, cite Egypt and the two kings east of the Jordan, and stop there. Verse 3 says what they heard was Jericho and Ai, so they leave out the news a traveller from far off could not yet carry.

This site's exposition

Sihon king of Heshbon

Sihon and Og were defeated east of the Jordan, as Numbers 21:21-35 records, so the envoys cite victories won across the river. Their own town lay near at hand. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown place Gibeon about six miles northwest of Jerusalem, at the village of El Jib.

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).
