Matthew Poole and continuators on Joshua 10:1

NOW it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it ( as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to▪ Ai, and her king) and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them ,

i. e. Were conversant with them, had yielded themselves to their disposal, submitted themselves to their Laws, had mingled interests with them.
