Matthew Poole and continuators on Joshua 10:6

6 ¶ And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants , come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites, that dwell in the mountains , are gathered together against us.

Or, had sent, when their enemies were drawing towards them, which they could easily learn.

Do not neglect nor delay to help us.

Whom thou art obliged to protect both in Duty, as thou art our Master and Ruler; and by thy own Interest, we being part of thy Possessions; and in ingenuity, because we have given our selves to thee, and put our selves under thy Protection.

In the mountainous Country.
